Stereotypes
Please stop stereotyping me
Because I got way more originality
Yeah, trust me, I'm nothing like the rest of them, I'm better than
Please don't say I'm something like or put me next to them
Please stop putting me in your box
Because I don't wear diamonds and I got no rocks
Yeah, trust me, I'm nothing like the rest of them, so recognise
Please don't say I'm something like or put me next to guys
Yo, I must've had one interview
And guess what kind of questions I heard
Like, "do you own a gun?"
I'm like, "blud are you thick or dumb?"
Look, ask me about the music
Not about the so-called tools that you think I move with
I know they think we're stupid
I already the know the truth is
You don't believe in this
You must think we're some wasted kids
Ain't got a clue 'bout the music base
I'm like "now you're taking the piss"
We ain't all about committing crime and doing time
We're living how we live
We put our lives into the rhymes
This ain't nothing like US rapping
G R I M E in the building
I heard you think that we're all just hype
Like we're popping and taking the pills in
It's more than hype, believe
And it ain't all raves and reloads
Don't just think it's knives and you know
It's more than songs, it's deep
I rep, I'm a grime MC
One-line hooks, we've all got one of them
If not, then you wouldn't be a grime MC
Get back in a line MC
Gotta keep telling 'em I'm nothing like the rest of them
I'm in my own league, I'm better than your top ten
Please stop stereotyping me

I bet you weren't expecting this one, right?
Goldielocks, Tinchy Stryder, on the beat, straight westside
We're throwing you off with your combined little box
Just because we both rap don't mean we wear bare rocks
Now I'm a bit electro and he's more grime
So I guess you think I love fashion and he commits crime
Ah man, please, get with the times
There's more to urban music than first meets your eyes
So is it my Converse or my hair do
Giving you the impression I sing in a pop group?
Astounded, pretty dumb-founded
When you find out it's my beats that you been bouncing to
Did I forget to mention that I make beats too?
Does that not fit with what you think a girl should do?
I like to switch it up, get everyone hyped
And I'll be damned if I ever fit your stereotype
Please stop stereotyping me
