Don't Call Me White

Don't call me white (x4)

Connotations 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 (x4)

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 you're average Joe

Don't call me white
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
