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 connotation's 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 fair skinned? No!

I ain't a part of no conspiracy

I'm just your 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

A vast majority of sheep

A buttoned collar, starched and bleached

Constricting vein, the blood flow to the brain slows

They're so fuckin' ordinary

White

Don't call me white

Oh

We're better off this way

Oh

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
