|
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 what 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 |
