Don't Call Me White

               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white
               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white
     F#5          A5              E5
Your connotations wearing my nuts thin
    F#5                 A5             E5
Could it be semantics generating the mess
We're in
F#5      A5
I understand that language
F#5         E5
Breeds stereotype
   A5
But what's the explanation for the malice
For the spite?

               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white
               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white

F#5      A5                  E5
I wasn't brought here, I was born
     F#5            A5                E5
Circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn
          F#5            A5
Does this mean I have to take such shit
F#5                     E5
For being fair skinned, no!
   A5
I ain't part of no conspiracy, I'm just
Your average Joe

               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white
               F#5          A5      C#5
Don't call me white, don't call me white

           C#5 [palm muted]
Represents everything I hate
        A5                          E5
The soap shoved in your mouth to cleanse
The mind
      C#5                          C#5
[Palm muted]
A vast majority I've sheep, a buttoned
Collar, starched and bleached
                    A5
Constricting veins, the blood flow to the
Brain slows
     E5
They're so fuckin ordinary

F#5          A5      E5
White, Don't call me white

E5ii        D5            A5
Oh, we're better off this way
E5ii     D5               A5
Oh, say what you're gonna say
F#5             A5            F#5
So go ahead and label me, an asshole cause
  E5
I can
  A5
Accept responsibility for what I've done
                   F#5
But not for who I am
       A5      E5
Don't call me white
               F#5          A5      E5
Don't call me white, don't call me white
