[Verse 1]
You didn't know I was white
Does that change anything
It don't make sense to me
I kept it straight with my name
Same mud on my boots
Same pain in my chest
I don't need a disguise
I say what I mean, no less
thank God I am already alright
I stayed solid through it all
Different way with truth
I let it cut, let it call
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't front for the crowd
I don't talk in smoke
I been real in the dark
I been real in the joke
[Chorus]
You didn't know I was white
Does that change anything
It don't make sense to me
It don't change a thing
Different way with truth
I stay honest, I stay true
More honest than most of you
More honest than most of you
[Verse 2]
I heard the sideways looks
I heard the little jokes
But I came from a place
Where the hard truth grows
No polished talk from me
No borrowed disguise
I say what I lived
I don't prettify
thank God I am already alright
I don't need your stamp to breathe
Different way with truth
That just runs in me
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't front for the crowd
I don't talk in smoke
I been real in the dark
I been real in the joke
[Chorus]
You didn't know I was white
Does that change anything
It don't make sense to me
It don't change a thing
Different way with truth
I stay honest, I stay true
More honest than most of you
More honest than most of you
[Bridge]
Look at me close
I ain't here to perform
I got scars in my words
And a calm in the storm
Call it what you want
I still stand on that
Truth in my mouth
And I won't take it back
[Chorus]
You didn't know I was white
Does that change anything
It don't make sense to me
It don't change a thing
Different way with truth
I stay honest, I stay true
More honest than most of you
More honest than most of you
