Separate Yourself from the Status-Quo
People
 People, they group to make it easier on their part
 Latinos are illegal
 Blacks are trouble makers
 Asians are nerds
 Arabs and Muslims are terrorists
 and Whites are oblivious and stupid
 It's bad enough when other people label us
 It's even worse when we label ourselves
 We follow the stereotypes
 Now it's cool to be rude and sag your pants
 Now it's cool to act hard and tough and be in a gang
 Now drugs are cool along with alcohol and sex
 Why is it cool?
 Why is it cool to mess up our lives and have babies at 14 years old
 Why is it cool to become a addict and die from your addiction
 Why is it cool to die from gang violence and being dead at 17 years old
 Why is it cool to be dumb or not even try
 When did it become cool.
 I have a question
 Why do we fall into the same holes we have seen others fall in to
 I don't know the answer to that
 Here's an idea
 Lets be smart again and leave drugs,alcohol and sex behind
 Lets step out and have manners
 Lets be proud of who we are and not fit the mold of what they show us
 They want us to fail
 They plan it
 Lets foil their plans
 They are scared that we are going to see our true potential
 Because we then become a obstacle
 Let's make it hard for them
 Lets separate ourselves from the STAUS-QUO
