I'm feeling uncomfortable
While making people feel uncomfortable
That I get mad when they don't take my face seriously.

I know I'm not the brownest one
But sometimes I feel I'm the only one
Who likes to talk about this white-washed breed.


You think I'm exaggerating.
But when a cop stops your dad from dropping you off

On a quiet suburban street, do you think I'm wrong?
Don't laugh when I exert some pride.
Not talking about it doesn't solve anything.

Not talking about it doesn't solve anything.

It's not that you're insensitive.

I couldn't care less if you're sensitive.
It's the fact that you and I still consider myself white.
When I see someone in the crowd

With the same face as mine,
You have no idea what that feels like.


You say, "It's just a joke."
Well, I'll say, "They're just feelings."
You'll laugh it off again

While I'll still wish that my skin was peeling.
