lyrics

I'm coming to, to see what's become of you.
I can pick myself up off the floor, and we are not the same.
Racists can't knock off my color, they always try to bring us down.

Because I'm a walking stereotype
Now you can hold me tight.
I'm a walking stereotype
Now you can hold me tight.

I can't walk down the street police might cuff me again.
Cuz "Boy you look like someone we know, and you all look the same to me."
"Yeah, I'm sure we'll find you guilty of some sort of crime."

Because I'm a walking stereotype
Now you can hold me tight.
I'm a walking stereotype
Now you can hold me tight.

Could you pass me a thought as you are standing in line?
The reason why you are wasting all of your precious time
While your children are left alone with nowhere to go.

I'm a walking stereotype
Now you can hold me tight.
I'm a walking stereotype
Now you can hold me tight.
