Don't call me white, don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white
Your connotations wearing my nuts 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, don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white
I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn
does this mean I have to take such shit
for being fair skinned, no!
I ain't part of no conspiracy, I'm just your average Joe
Don't call me white, don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white
C5 [palm muted]
Represents everything I hate
The soap shoved in your mouth to cleanse the mind
A vast majority I've 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
INTERLUDE OF NOISE & FEEDBACK (cool...)
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
Don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white
