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
