Names

They gon' try to call you names, label you with things till you're ashamed

You're a sexist or a racist, white supremacist or gay

They'll attack your reputation, claim that you're the one to blame

And try to make you hate yourself for ways that you behave

They're just names, embrace them and they'll never cause you pain

They're just words that another person thought up in they brain

They're just names, they do not define you, that's insane

And they'll just call you something different if you change

Call me racist, I don't make no BLM donations

I can stand with black folks without a branded corporation

All this systemic prejudice, if you live in this nation

You privileged, black or Caucasian

Call me transphobic, but I support you and your policies

I just can't ignore the very basics of biology

All I see is men and women tryna live in harmony

Not a hundred genders, that you wanna be

Call me snowflake 'cause I'm offended, I ain't stone-faced

Social justice warriors destroying us with woke ways

Mad because they voted for the POTUS with the most hate

Man, I miss the old days

Call me loser, call me bigot, call me stupid, call me bitter

Call me ugly, call me cracker, call me douche or call me triggered

You can call me what you want 'cause at the end of the day

Man, they're just names

Go ahead and call us names, dawg, do your thing

We ain't tripping 'cause we heard it all before

Give a damn, about the names, dawg, we feel no pain

Your words ain't gonna hurt us anymore

Go ahead and call us names, dawg, do your thing

Y'all are tripping, but I hope you find the Lord

Give a damn about the names, dawg, we feel no shame

Call us anything you want, I'm getting bored

They gon' try to call you names, label you with things till you're ashamed

Repeat it till you really start believing what they say

They gon' stamp it on your forehead and scream it till you break

They love to say they're woke, they're not awake

They're just names, afraid of anyone who ain't the same

So they classify your thoughts as controversial, not okay

Then they cancel you till everything you have, all gets erased

They tryna tell the world you're bad, they're just names

Call me conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat

I'm somewhere in the middle, but y'all don't know what to do with that

The system got you so obsessed with classifying right or left

You never call a person human, call 'em names instead

Call me sexist, men run the world 'cause they're aggressive

But behind every man, there's a woman just as successful

We will never be equal in every way, that ain't helpful

Our differences are why we're great together

Call me white devil, I know you think the system favors me

My privilege is residual, benefits from the slavery

Subconscious prejudice embedded in the system made for me

Don't mean I never struggled to survive, I guess we ain't agree

Ignorant and jaded, call me dumb, uneducated

Call me idiot or redneck or delusional or crazy

Call me anything society has taught you to say

'Cause at the end of the day, they're just names

Go ahead and call us names, dawg, do your thing

We ain't tripping 'cause we heard it all before

Give a damn, about the names, dawg, we feel no pain

Your words ain't gonna hurt us anymore

Go ahead and call us names, dawg, do your thing

Y'all are tripping, but I hope you find the Lord

Give a damn about the names, dawg, we feel no shame

Call us anything you want, I'm getting bored

Your sticks and your stones might break my bones

But your words don't hurt, so give me your worst

Stupid, loser, ugly, poser

Moron, liar, crazy, loner

Go ahead and call us names, dawg, do your thing

We ain't tripping 'cause we heard it all before

Give a damn, about the names, dawg, we feel no pain

Your words ain't gonna hurt us anymore

Go ahead and call us names, dawg, do your thing

Y'all are tripping, but I hope you find the Lord

Give a damn about the names, dawg, we feel no shame

Call us anything you want, I'm getting bored
