Cream-Of-Me

Labels are for soup cans
As you can plainly see
If that's the case
Then why are you so quick to categorize me?

If I wear too much black eyeliner, I'm emo
My dirty Chucks and studs make me punk
And to mom & dad my lifestyle is a clutter of typical teenage junk

I'm too nice to be a gangsta
Since I don't wear A&F
I'd make a sucky prep
And real goths aren't scared of a premature death

Girly-girls don't have dirt under their fingernails
And varsity athletes don't trip over their two own feet
Since they don't know about the shit I've done in the past
Many assume all I'm good for is being innocent and sweet

Nerds aren't supposed to have potty mouths
Or more than 3 friends

When you don't match what people wanna see from you
The self-doubt never ends.
