Your prejudiced color
You judge my race, can't see my face
You drive your cursed attitude
all the way around town and back again
You ignore my face,
except to make one at me
You in rushing haste, call me a disgrace
I'm a unwelcome guest
You didn't invite into your scene
It's all about your fiene
You say your bad neighborhood
Is too dangerous for me
I'm too naive in your community
I'll never be more than a outsider
Who will be called awkward names,
Won't know the game
I don't belong facing you head on
You sit sideways, next to me
Discusted, impatient glances, you stare
You don't know why I'm still around
Your words talk all around me
And right through me
You always cross the street
Away from me
I couldn't be friendly to you if I tried
You'd laugh and not say a word
You let your peers patronizing words
Distract you
From hearing what I said
You don't care what I meant
It all offends you, I'm white
Your bold to scold me
You preach I should speak
When spoken to
Your always breaking rules
You tell me to follow
You heard all these awkward rumors
About me
You believe they are all true
You flirt with my boyfriend freely
You say you own his color, not me
Your a contradiction in motion
You drive your cursed attitude
all the way around town and back again
You ignore my face,
except to make one at me
You in rushing haste, call me a disgrace
I'm a unwelcome guest
You didn't invite into your scene
It's all about your fiene
You say your bad neighborhood
Is too dangerous for me
I'm too naive in your community
I'll never be more than a outsider
Who will be called awkward names,
Won't know the game
I don't belong facing you head on
You sit sideways, next to me
Discusted, impatient glances, you stare
You don't know why I'm still around
Your words talk all around me
And right through me
You always cross the street
Away from me
I couldn't be friendly to you if I tried
You'd laugh and not say a word
You let your peers patronizing words
Distract you
From hearing what I said
You don't care what I meant
It all offends you, I'm white
Your bold to scold me
You preach I should speak
When spoken to
Your always breaking rules
You tell me to follow
You heard all these awkward rumors
About me
You believe they are all true
You flirt with my boyfriend freely
You say you own his color, not me
Your a contradiction in motion
