Tom MacDonald - Names lyrics

They gon' try to call you names
Label you with things 'til 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 thеy'll just call you somethin'
Different if you changе
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 destroyin' us
With woke ways
Mad because they voted for the
POTUS with the most hate (Hm-m)
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 trippin' '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 trippin'
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 gettin' bored)

They gon' try to call you names
Label you with things 'til you're ashamed
Repeat it 'til you really start
Believin' what they say
They gon' stamp it on your forehead
And scream it 'til you break
They love to say they woke, they not awake
(They 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 'til everything
You have all gets erased
They tryna tell the world you 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
Benefit's 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 trippin' '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 trippin'
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 gettin' 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 trippin' '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 trippin'
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 gettin' bored)
