However, Lazarus’s view on these racial stereotypes were made clear, and he added, “This song and video is dedicated to all those people who hate being labelled and put into a stereotype. We should have the freedom and desire to break those barriers and become that which the world deems as impossible or unattainable.”

“I’m a little crazy, I’m a little Ku-Ku,
People wanna tell me what they gonna do who,
I don’t ever listen, you all keep missin’
Can’t stop my plans, I’m a man on a mission”
