Tone deaf lyric

Oh Taylor
You came from a place
Of whiteness, lily whiteness
I heard your tone deaf lyrics
But, I didn’t listen to your song…
“I hate it here.”

What are you sayin?
What are you singin?
Cos I’m confused
You’re singin for white people,
Black girls love you, too
However

Have you read your history book?
Or you just act like there’s no racism….
Back then
Slavery was happenin, lynchings was happenin
And white women didn’t have rights….
White women have slaves…
Did you know that?

If you choose that decade,
You would own slaves
You would call them a nigger…
I’m just tellin the truth,

I don’t care if swifties come after me
I don’t care….,
Why would you want to choose that decade
In your I hate it here?

You came from a place where
Whiteness whitewashin the nine yards

Now am I tone deaf to you?
With this poem?
Cos your song ain’t barrin….

Yet you’re goin to ignore
People like me
Cos you don’t care….

Be a tone deaf songwriter
As you can be….
You would turn your other cheek
To someone who questions your words….
Just like you pretend Celine Dion wasn’t there….

Just sayin..
