~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome to my first (shared) original song, Stereotype! (Aka me lowkey panicking because of how insecure I am lol.) I really hope you enjoy it and feel free to leave suggestions and feedback! I didn't use any instruments because I couldn't find a melody that I liked so sorry 'bout that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Why?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wrote this because (as you may have guessed) I have encountered a lot of stereotypes in my life. (Specifically, the blonde stereotype which annoys me to no end. It's a freaking hair colour IT DOESN'T MATTER!) And when something's bothering me, or when I'm feeling literally any emotion, I write. Sometimes it's a story or poem, but most of the time it's a song. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Inspo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Olivia Rodrigo (no specific songs, she's just amazing in general) The Show Liv & Maddie (Dove Cameron) - S2, Ep10 & S4, Ep8 Everyone who's posted a song on scratch - you gave me the courage to do this! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lyrics~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since when you tell me What to be? I make my own choices Don’t listen to the voices Tellin’ me I can’t I don’t wanna be no stereotype ‘Cause I’m tryna break all the stereotypes If you can’t like me for who I am Maybe I’ll go find somebody who can You tell me what I shouldn’t do Well why should I listen to you? You’re just jealous That I have the courage to fight Fight for what’s right I don’t wanna be no stereotype ‘Cause I’m tryna break all the stereotypes If you can’t like me for who I am Maybe I’ll go find somebody who can I’m always told I gotta be Someone I’m not Just to make you like me To make you think that I’m hot Well don’t blame me If I don’t wanna be your girlfriend ‘Cause I won’t break I won’t bend For some boy Who’s love is fake Yeah, yeah, yeah I don’t wanna be no stereotype ‘Cause I’m tryna break all the stereotypes If you can’t like me for who I am Maybe I’ll go find somebody who can Yeah, if you can’t like me for who I am I’ll go find somebody who can Yeah, yeah, yeah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Note~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Bear in mind for the stuff about dating that I haven't even started middle school yet and I've never been in a relationship so I'm just making all of that up. 2. Look, if you aren't happy with anything here because it's offensive, etc. then please don't hesitate to tell me. I don't want to offend anyone and I try to be as inclusive as I can. If you're only going to send rude, hurtful, or otherwise inappropriate messages, know that I can and will report you. And you know what else? I don't care if you think that my song is bad, or stupid. I'm confident in my abilities and if you have a problem with that, it's not my fault. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Credits~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A few tips from a project by ( Lyrics - Me Background - Canva ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tags~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
