Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
|
The connotations wearing my nerves thin
|
Could it be semantics generating the mess we're in?
|
I understand that language breeds stereotype
|
But what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite?
|
|
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
|
I wasn't brought here, I was born
|
Circumcised, categorized, allegiance sworn,
|
Does this mean I have to take such shit
|
For being fairskinned? No!
|
I ain't a part of no conspiracy,
|
I'm just you're average Joe.
|
|
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
|
Represents everything I hate,
|
The soap shoved in the mouth to cleanse the mind
|
The vast majority of sheep
|
A buttoned collar, starched and bleached
|
Constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
|
They're so fuckin' ordinary white
|
|
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
|
We're better off this way
|
Say what you're gonna say
|
So go ahead and label me
|
An asshole cause I can
|
Accept responsibility, for what I've done
|
But not for who I am
|
|
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
|
