Stereotypes Songtext
von Black Violin

Stereotype, an often unfair and untrue belief
That many people have about other people
With a particular characteristic are the same
Stereotype, an unfair and untrue belief that many people have
About other people

Stereotype, a standardised mental picture that is terribly...
Va a predecir el comportamiento de una persona basada
En su raza y un nivel social
Estereotipo!

I mean, mine is clear, mine is very easy
My number one stereotype is just because I′m 6 foot two
260lbs doesn't mean you supposed to be afraid of me
I feel like when I walk into an elevator and there′s like
Four-five you know different other people in there, they're


Hmmm, let me see what this guy's gonna do and let me like double check
Maybe they′re not afraid, but they all notice
In a way it′s like you know, where in one sense
I wish that it didn't exist, and I wish that I didn′t sense
You know that they were threatened by my presence
Without even knowing who I am

Umm, although I wish that It didn't exist
I′m kinda glad for it because now it gives me like a goal
Or gives me something to like try to debunk and
Like the reason I smile on stage is because
I know I'll completely pressure people′s perceptions
Of not only what a violin can do

Or what music can possibly sound like, but also of what a black man
Is capable of – is capable of
– Is capable of
