[verse one]
violent extremist groups wanna seperate blacks and whites
people sharing fake news on their social medias from racist sites
demagogues on the rise, changed outfits, they went from boots to suits
manipulating minds with claims that’s far from the truth
racists calling me a blackhead, saying go back where you came from
the other immigrants look at me and say i’ve forgotten where i came from
overlooked on the labour market ‘cause i got a difficult name
i love my swеden but at times i feel like i’m judgеd by race

[chorus]
no matter what i do, they judge me by race
i’m trying to play it cool but i see a lot of hate
i’m tired of being marginalized all the time
i just want you to know how i feel inside
(i’m not trying to play the race card)

[verse two]
the self-hate i developed as a kid when i thought white was the only right race
all the superheroes and stars in all the big movies had a white face
the blacks and the browns were mostly portrayed as the bad guys
i hated my skin-color ‘cause it was the same as the bad guys
the media rarely show immigrants in a positive light
the image they’re showing is that immigrants are criminals who never act right
my parents say i have to work twice as hard as a swede to be equal
and don’t do anything stupid ‘cause you’ll be embarrassing your people
[chorus]
no matter what i do, they judge me by race
i’m trying to play it cool but i see a lot of hate
i’m tired of being marginalized all the time
i just want you to know how i feel inside
(i’m not trying to play the race card)

[verse three]
meanwhile some people point fingers at others for their own shortcomings
calling everybody racist and won’t take responsibility for nothing
misusing the word, so that they get away by playing the victim
the ones who cry wolf and lie, those who paint distorted pictures
what about the racism amongst us with immigrant backgrounds?
let’s not forget to look at racism coming from both sides
i’m checking myself and i’m battling my own fears of the unknown
gotta keep racism out of my zone
remind myself to be in control

[chorus]
no matter what i do, they judge me by race
i’m trying to play it cool but i see a lot of hate
i’m tired of being marginalized all the time
i just want you to know how i feel inside
(i’m not trying to play the race card)

[verse four]
the feeling of being the only blackhead in a room full of swedes
i hate that i feel i must tiptoe so i don’t come off as a beast
the fear that they might look at me and say that’s so typical immigrants
being at my best behaviour so i don’t feel like i’m embarrassing the immigrants
and i know i shouldn’t think like that but i can’t help feeling that way
you think i haven’t tried? think again, the system has made it that way
they’ve created a negative stereotype for those who look like me
[chorus]
no matter what i do, they judge me by race
i’m trying to play it cool but i see a lot of hate
i’m tired of being marginalized all the time
i just want you to know how i feel inside
(i’m not trying to play the race card)
