 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
 Don't call me white
 Don't call me white
 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 fair skinned? No!
 I ain't a 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
 Represents everything I hate
 The soap shoved in the mouth to cleanse the mind
 A vast majority of sheep
 A buttoned collar, starched and bleached
 Constricting vein, the blood flow to the brain slows
 They're so fuckin' ordinary
 White

 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
