Don't Call Me White

Lyrics for 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
