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



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

Circumsized, 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 your 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
