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

I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumcised, categorized, allegiance sworn
Does this mean I have to take such shit
For being fairskinned? No!

I ain't a part of no conspiracy
I'm just your average Joe
Don't call me white

Represents everything I hate
The soap shoved in the mouth
To cleanse the mind
The vast majority of sheep

A buttoned collar, starched and bleached
Constricting veins
The blood flow to the brain slows
They're so fuckin' ordinary white
Don't call me white
