Divided

[Verse]

Dark eyes and brown skin

Swear I was your flavour

You say this is love

I say this is not a game

You got scared of my culture

Did my family scare you off?

Was the curry too hot?

I know I'm "not like the other girls, run away"

But it is coming from you or your parents

[Chorus]

Dated a racist

"You can't bring that dark girl home"

'Cause Mama's waiting to see to see the next

Generation that follows

Can't say you hate it, just ignorant

You just need to grow a pair

To raise what they wish

Raise what they wish we had aborted

[Verse]

You should've gone ahead and said it!

You should've called it! You should've called it!

But daddy did not wanna raise no loser

He made you bail out! He made you bail out!

You should've saved yourself the headache

I should've seen you and your depth

Now go and stand in the shallow depths

Of your white-picket-fence rules

Now go have fun with that

[Chorus]

Dated a racist

"You can't bring that dark girl home"

'Cause Daddy's waiting to see to see the next

Generation that follows

Can't say you hate it, just ignorant

You just need to grow a pair

To raise what they wish

Raise what they wish we had aborted

[Bridge]

It's a shame you're a razor blade

There's a clear divide here

This how society stays

Still stuck in rigid ways

It's a shame, It's a shame you're a razor blade

Keeping us, keeping us divided

Divided, this is how your family's staying

Stuck in rigid ways

[Chorus]

Dated a racist

"You can't bring that dark girl home"

'Cause Daddy's waiting to see to see the next

Generation that follows

Can't say you hate it, you need to speak up

You just need to grow a pair

To raise what they wish

Raise what they wish we had aborted

Raise what Dad wish we had aborted

Raise what Mum wish we had aborted

Raise what they wish we had aborted
