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 the 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
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 the 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
