Token

What's your name?
What's your race?
What's between your legs?
Do you have a name for it?

You either are it or you're not
You either use the right terminology
You're either white, middle class and privileged
Or you bend yourself to that stereotype
White feelings
White feelings
I am a gay bear in Los Angeles too consumed in my privilege to acknowledge it

Tokenize me
Yes I'm
That
Friend
But you don't care about
Who I really am
Or where I came from
That "foreign" place
But if I was born here
Can I claim my race?

You can't read me
So you can't know me
For who I am
Ha! ha! ha! ha!
You only read me
For my white privilege

I am a genderfucked girl in Ohio
I am shaving the sides of my head to be a part of it
I want to be a part of it all
(I DON'T KNOW SHIT!)
In the heart of it all
I want to be a part if it all
(I DON'T KNOW SHIT!)
In the heart of it all

Tokenize me
Yes I'm
That
Friend
But you don't care about
Who I really am
Or where I came from
That "foreign" place
But if I was born here
Can I claim my race?

You can't read me
So you can't know me
For who I am
Ha! ha! ha! ha!
You only read me
For my white privilege

Do you want to know my name?
Do you want to know my race?
Do you want to know what's between my legs?
Because I swear to god there is a name for it
Do you want to know my name?
Do you want to know my race?
Do you want to feel uncomfortable around people who are not just like you?

Do you want to be inclusive?
What the fuck do you mean by inclusive?
With your invasive fucking questions
Just let me be a fake minority
With your invasive fucking questions
And that dumb smile on your face
Because you're trying to be inviting but being so invasive asking

"What's yr name?
What's yr race?
What's between yr legs?
Do you have a name for it?

What's yr name?
What's yr race?
What's between yr legs?
Is there a name for it?"
