You Think You Know Me
To people on the outside looking in
I am just another black kid
To the world I am just another statistic
Another kid who the black stereotype
No father, one hard working mother raising two kids by herself
But all those people don't know me
They just label me
You can judge me only if you know the real me
I am a teenager lost in this world still trying to find himself
Missing his other half trying to find someone or something to fill the void
I am emotional but no one knows because "only females have emotions"
Some may look at the people around me and think "wow he has a lot of friends"
When in reality there's only a handful of people in my inner circle
I am a nice guy with a bad and dark side
Some call me crazy or weird just because I'm the opposite of what they expected
I don't let my past define me
I just do everything I can to become successful
To rewrite the statistics and destroy the stereotypes
Because I am a contradiction to your beliefs
