Daddy Is White Lyrics

I am an average white girl who comes from upper Manhattan
I am totally white but I was raised half Latin
And this caused me some problems among my friends and my foes
′Cause when you look into my face
You see what everybody else knows
If Daddy is white
You must be white too
If you look into the mirror
What comes looking back at you?
If your Daddy is white
You must be white too
If you look into the mirror
What comes looking back at you?
I feel it in the city when I take a walk uptown
I feel the tension in the street, I feel it ticking all around
I feel it filling up the sidewalk, the spaces in between
Between my face and your face in public places where we get seen
If Daddy is white
You must be white too
If you look into the mirror
What comes looking back at you?
If your Daddy is white
You must be white too
If you look into the mirror
What comes looking back at you?
He called her "baby", she called him "boy" and then it started
They were strangers at the bar and they both ended broken-hearted
And it was a conversation but it ended as a fight
And I can tell you it's because he was black and she was white
If Daddy is white
You must be white too
If you look into the mirror
What comes looking back at you?
If your Daddy is white
You must be white too
If you look into the mirror
What comes looking back at you?
If your Daddy is white
You must be white too
If you look into the mirror
What comes looking back at you?
If your Daddy is white
You must be white too
If you look into the mirror
What comes looking back at you?
