Don't call me white, don't call me white |
|
Don't call me white, don't call me white |
|
The connotations wearin' 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 bein' fair skinned, no? |
|
I ain't a part of no conspiracy, |
|
I'm just you're average |
|
JoeDon't call me white, don't call me white |
|
Don't call me white, don't call me white |
|
Represents everything |
|
I hateThe 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 |
|
Oh, we're better off this way? |
|
Oh, say, what you're gonna say |
|
So go ahead and label me |
|
An asshole 'cause |
|
I canAccept responsibility for what |
|
I've doneBut not for who |
|
I amDon't call me white, don't call me white |
|
Don't call me white |
