lyrics

"White Faces"

(Chorus)
Nothing in the world makes me more anxious
Than seeing round me only white faces
Faces... These whites faces
Those blue eyes make me feel nameless
I feel so alone when I go places
And I'm greeted by only white faces
Faces... These white faces
Those blue eyes make me feel nameless

(Verse 1)
When I was younger I had little experience
That let me know how much my skin made a difference
At the time I didn't know that it was serious
But growing up'll help you see the world for what it really is
I was a little kid literally a little kid
Couldn't been more than 4 'cause kindergarten I was in
I had a lot of friends everyday I'd play with them
Jokes I would say to them, nap, draw, and paint with them
Those were the days, man... It was lovely
But when it changed, man... It was ugly
Some boys that I wanted to hang with shunned me
I asked one why and he put it to me bluntly
You... Look... Different from me
Can't play with us so go and find your own buddies
When what that meant struck me, it cut me
Luckily, then I thought it meant that were shoes funny
But as years keep coming, wisdom increases
And what was once invisible now you can see it
And what was not factor can now magically be it
When some say your color picks how you'll be treated
... When it hit me, couldn't believe it
Me being different then I couldn't think
But I'm no kid now so for obvious reasons
I still get these feelings... Man...

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
Been followed around stores
Been searched at the door
Been assumed I was poor
Been profiled before
Growing up down south felt all that and more
And those things formed how I feel in my core
Inside I'm torn no I wasn't warned
That how I was born would stir up this storm
I feel like to whites in their sight I'm deformed
Playin' down bein' brown an act I must perform
But regardless I'm alienated
How though it's hard to explain it
Even a Caucasian with his face painted
Wouldn't feel my pain in the end he can change it
But me... Permanent minority
The one nigga in class and teacher ignoring me
The one kid at work that the boss treats horribly
Hell, they even talk about Barack horribly
... Every black man knows 'bout this
Around them white folks you don't say this
When they look at me I wonder do they see just this
Or everything they've come to believe black is
... What do they say when I'm not around?
Would they prefer that I'm not around?
I walk in rooms and hear not a sound of greetings
Just their shifts in seating... I'm feeling....

(Chorus)
