I didn’t come out of my mothers womb saying 

Hi, I’m Kate. 

I'm white, Christian, and like the color blue. 

That would be absurd 

 

When you label someone, 

They are being trapped in the "you are" box 

And spend their whole life searching for the key 

To escape this labeled society 

And finally set free 

 

We slap labels on people we’ve never met. 

Judging people based on the color of their skin 

Is like trying to judge a cow for how juicy it’s steak will be 

Its weird and 

honestly pretty gross 

 

I was raised in a society that believes the color of my skin 

Defined me 

Instead of looking at who I truly was within 

 

These labels are destroying us 

Slowly crumpling the uniqueness we’ve created 

Like a piece of paper 

In the hands of Satan 

 

I’m not here to lecture you 

About how color of our skin 

Is merely science 

And how my personal choices 

Don't affect you in the slightest 

 

Feel free to disagree 

But before you go, 

I must ask, 

If we didn’t have labels 

Who would you be?
