Lyrics

[00:00.69] Don't call me white
[00:02.75] Don't call me white
[00:07.03] Don't call me white
[00:09.47] Don't call me white
[00:23.59] The connotations wearing my nerves thin
[00:28.22] Could it be semantics generating the mess we're in
[00:33.88] I understand that language breeds stereotype
[00:38.43] But what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite
[00:42.52] Don't call me white
[00:44.34] Don't call me white
[00:47.71] Don't call me white
[00:49.29] Don't call me white
[00:53.91] I wasn't brought here, I was born
[00:58.13] Circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn
[01:03.32] Does this mean I have to take such s***t
[01:06.18] For being fairskinned? No
[01:08.37] I ain't a part of no conspiracy, I'm just you're average Joe
[01:12.77] Don't call me white
[01:14.45] Don't call me white
[01:18.04] Don't call me white
[01:19.65] Don't call me white
[01:23.13] Represents everything I hate
[01:26.43] The soap shoved in the mouth to cleanse the mind
[01:31.02] The vast majority of sheep
[01:33.49] A buttoned collar, starched and bleached
[01:36.07] Constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
[01:39.55] They're so **' ordinary white
[01:42.89] Don't call me white
[01:59.86] We're better off this way
[02:04.83] Say what you're gonna say
[02:07.75] So go ahead and label me an asshole
[02:11.10] 'Cause I can accept responsibility for what I've done
[02:16.42] But not for who I am
[02:19.04] Don't call me white
[02:22.51] Don't call me white
[02:24.06] Don't call me white
