Daddy Is White

[Verse 1]

I am an average white girl

Who comes from Upper Manhattan

I am totally white

But I was raised half Latin

And this caused me some problems

Among my friends and my foes

'Cause when you look into my face

You see what everybody else knows

[Chorus]

If daddy is white

You must be white too

If you look into the mirror

What comes looking back at you?

If your daddy is white

You must be white too

If you look into the mirror

What comes looking back at you?

[Verse 2]

I feel it in the city

When I take a walk uptown

I feel the tension in the street

I feel it ticking all around

I feel it filling up the sidewalk

In the spaces in between

Between my face and your face

In public places where we get seen

[Chorus]

If daddy is white

You must be white too

If you look into the mirror

What comes looking back at you?

If your daddy is white

You must be white too

If you look into the mirror

What comes looking back at you?

[Verse 3]

He called her baby

She called him boy and then it started

They were strangers at the bar

And they both ended brokenhearted

And it was a conversation

But it ended as a fight

And I can tell you it's because

He was black and she was white

[Chorus]

If daddy is white

You must be white too

If you look into the mirror

What comes looking back at you?

If your daddy is white

You must be white too

If you look into the mirror

What comes looking back at you?

If your daddy is white

You must be white too

If you look into the mirror

What comes looking back at you?

If your daddy is white

You must be white too

If you look into the mirror

What comes looking back at you?
