what the hell does this prove??

by Antwan Fields - Aries

i hold my head up high and have a bit of a high voice when agitated, what the hell does that prove? 
i speak english like i was taught right and dress borderline
does that prove my gayness?
i don't blow things up and don't take pride in trivial things, i don't chase chickens and pull off their wings
take me seriously when youre not supposed to
i don't laugh at things that are not funny
and what the hell does that prove?
i don't want to throw this in your face, i don't want to cheat and win the race
but i do want you to know that things don't prove a thing
like the way i hold my hands and the way i walk
what does it prove 
you want to know about me?
ask me.

Reason for writing:

    i hate stereotypes. i can say that i am black and gay, but im not sterotypical. e-mail me if you feel that i am wrong.
