Stereotype

‘ey shawty, let’s go play some ball;
A’ight, but let me put up my joint befo’ it fall.
Hey girl, there’s sum’in you need to know,
Yo’ dog of a man dun slept wit’ dat ho.

Oh my God, I had better clutch my purse,
That man may steal it, or do me something worse.
Girl, for that, you know you dead wrong,
You made yo’ nails only two inches long.

Don’t look at the movies,
Don’t believe the media hype.
Everytime you see a baller, shot-caller,
It’s just another Black stereotype.
