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
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
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
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
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
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
