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 should 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
