Don't classify me with no one else I'm getting that bad guys reaction Status contraction all the time Won't listen to me You only try to put me down ♪ Don't write my name on every wall Go breaking window's or telephones What sounds I rate, what movie show? Don't classify me with no one else End this reaction Status contraction all the time Won't listen to me You only try to put me down Oh, don't think I'm stupid Don't ever try to put me down
