Derick Watts & the Sunday Blues - Don't Be So White Lyrics

It's a nice day to get outside
Stretch your legs and go for a stride
So you think to yourself you'll take the dog for a walk
But I think we should have a talk

Your dog has four legs
You should probably let him use them
If you put him on his paws
I promise he won't bruise them

Oh, don't be so white
You're a walking, talking stereotype
Just tone it down, I know your skin is light
But you don't have to be so white

If someone gets engaged but doesn't have an engagement shoot
Are they truly engaged?
The answer is "yes"
Your gender reveal may show pink or blue
But your child is doomed to be just as white as you

Congratulations on your little bundle of privilege
But he's only two days old - how'd he like my image?

Oh, don't be so white
You're a walking, talking stereotype
I know you've got a mommy blog to write
But you don't have to be so white

Clapping on the wrong beat
Don't be so white
Posting online about a good deed
Don't be so white
Going vegan for the weekend
Don't be so white
Asking to speak to the manager
That's flipping white

Keeping a dream journal
Don't be so white
Telling black people they speak well
Don't be so white
Watching every single TED Talk
Don't be so white
Taking the ring to Mordor
Gandalf the White

Lip sync battles and monster trucks
Wearing your K-Way into Starbucks

Oh, don't be so white
You're a walking, talking stereotype
Not every latte needs to be pumpkin spice
Girl, you don't have to be so white

We can still see you in the dead of night
Because you're so motherf*cking white
