[Verse 1]

C

Don’t call me white

G

Don’t call me white

Am

Don’t call me white

F

Don’t call me white

C

The connotation’s wearing my nerves thin

G

Could it be semantics generating the mess we’re in?

Am

I understand that language breeds stereotype

F

But what’s the explanation for the malice, for the spite?

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Am

Don’t call me white

G

Don’t call me white

Am

Don’t call me white

G

Don’t call me white

 

[Verse 2]

C

I wasn’t brought here, I was born

G

Circumcised, categorized, allegiance sworn

Am

Does this mean I have to take such shit

F

For being fair-skinned? No!

[Verse 3]

C

Represents everything I hate

G

The soap-shoveled images of rape

Am

Of violence and male dominance

F

And even of God in white America

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Am

White, white, white, white!

G

Don’t call me white!

Am

White, white, white, white!

G

Don’t call me white!

 

!

F

We’re better off this way

G

Say what you wanna say

Am

But don’t generalize me

F

Or color-code my face

 

[Final Chorus]

C
G

‘Cause I ain’t a goddamn poster child

Am
F

For some “white American style”

C
G

Don’t call me white

Am
F

Don’t call me white
