Lyrics
Yo, Transition, what's a stereotype?
Come on, what's a stereotype?
Man, I don't care about these stereotypes
The only reason that I'm here is for tearing these mics
Yo, Emsee, what's a stereotype?
Come on, what's a stereotype?
Well, I'ma let you all aware of the hype
A stereotype is something that your stereo likes
A stereotype is what they're playing on the radio
Created by executives, an artist that is message-less
Another puppet they invested in
So they gon' try to brainwash you with glamour and fake necklaces
But what I'm penning can't be stereotyped
Bet you'll be surprised I can rock a stereo nice
If you want to make it in rap, here's my advice
Follow these steps and you can be a stereotype
Keep it simple in the clubs, there's illiterate thugs
All that multi syllable stuff is killing their buzz
In the music biz' make sure you stay moral-less
When you're moral-less it will make you more fortunate
Top it off with a real cheesy gimmick
A snappy beat with a real fast beat per minute
A catchy hook combined with an auto-tuned vocal tone
You could make a mil' and that's just through the mobile phones
Yo, Transition, what's a stereotype?
Come on, what's a stereotype?
Man, I don't care about these stereotypes
The only reason that I'm here is for tearing these mics
Yo, Emsee, what's a stereotype?
Come on, what's a stereotype?
Well, I'ma let you all aware of the hype
A stereotype is something that your stereo likes
I ain't popping no slugs or chopping no drugs
A stereotype is what I am the opposite of
I don't put out mixtapes at ridiculous rates
Or make an angry face in every single picture I take
Ain't got a million views on YouTube or bitches on my friends list
No sunglasses, no names on the lenses
No Beamer, Benz, Bentley or baby moms
Keep your mil' I just want to make some crazy songs
But I'll never get a record deal
'Cause the lazy eye ain't fly and nowadays, you need sex appeal
I stay in my room and mind my grind
They gon' see me from the moon when it's my time to shine
But still, don't compare me to these stereotypes
Spent years in the pen but never been to jail in my life
It's a long road, but I know I'm gon' make it though
My mom always said I have the perfect face for radio
Yo, Transition, what's a stereotype?
Come on, what's a stereotype?
Man, I don't care about these stereotypes
The only reason that I'm here is for tearing these mics
Yo, Emsee, what's a stereotype?
Come on, what's a stereotype?
Well, I'ma let you all aware of the hype
A stereotype is something that your stereo likes
