[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
It's not that you're insensitive
I couldn't care less if you're sensitive
It's thе fact that you and I still consider myself white
Whеn I see someone in the crowd
With the same face as mine
You have no idea what that feels like
[Chorus]
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
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
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
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
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
It's not that you're insensitive
I couldn't care less if you're sensitive
It's thе fact that you and I still consider myself white
Whеn I see someone in the crowd
With the same face as mine
You have no idea what that feels like
[Chorus]
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
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
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
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
