Don’t Call Me White

[Chorus]
Don't call me white, don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
Don't call me white, don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white

[Verse 2]
I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumcised, categorised, 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

[Chorus]
Don't call me white, don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white

[Verse 3]
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 veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
They're so fucking ordinary white, don't call me white

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white
