“White Boy” is about a party I went to my junior year of college, where I felt completely and utterly invisible, but it's also about all the cultural issues I've grappled with my entire life--wondering whether I'm truly so different from my white peers and finding a way to be okay with it if I am. It’s about unpacking what I’m looking for from love, how I seek it out, and why.

Lyrics:
Now my hair smells like smoke
Something’s burning, I don’t know what it is
I won’t laugh at your dumbass jokes
white boy

I don’t owe you anything
I am learning not to sing for you
Your cage is not Maya Angelou’s
white boy

But you’ve still got a grip on me
Sword to hilt, hand to God, bring me to my knees
If I stand down, if I bleed,
If I am what you ask me to be—
White boy, what will you make of me?

Passion play, almost biblical
White girl arrives, I turn invisible
I don’t like who I am to you
white boy

Trance state, you’re hypnotic
Twirl my hair, watch my voice jump the octave
I don’t like who I am for you
white boy

But you’ve still got a grip on me
Sword to hilt, hand to God, bring me to my knees
If I stand down, if I bleed,
If I am what you ask me to be—
White boy, what will you make of me?

Instrumental

But you’ve still got a grip on me
Sword to hilt, hand to God, bring me to my knees
If I stand down, if I bleed,
If I am what you ask me to be—
White boy, what will you make of me?
