I Wanna Be Me

(album: Hear Me Now - 2018)

They tell me
Take off those pants
Put on a dress get some help
They don't understand
That I'm not a man, I wanna be myself
Take of those braids girl, don't get phase
And tell me act like a lady
But I'mma be me, believe me
Because that's how mama raised me

I wanna be me, who I really am
Not who you want me to be!
I love who I am!
Yes, I'm different and that's what I want you to see
I'm not like other girls
I don't like tight jeans
I don't wear tight shirts
I don't like wearing heels
I don't like how it feels
I don't wear tight skirts

I am myself and that's never gonna change
I'mma be myself and I'mma love myself
No matter what you may say
Cause I'm gay and proud and I'm loud (I'm loud)
Being fake is not my style (my style)
Go ahead and hate from the other side
Cause we running things right now
All my life
People told me like just dress like a girl
Try to date another boy, hey he might bring you joy
He really might rock your world
You haven't found him yet (nah)
Haven't found the right one
Your kid needs a father, figure in his life
Hey, he can father your son
My son has two moms loud and proud
And no I am not ashamed
And he will take up for his mamma's
If you slender our names
LGBT! Stand up proud!
We got an army this way
It's not a choice to live this life
You know I always been gay

They say
Go get saved, ask the Lord to make you know
Ask for forgiveness, for all the sickly things you do
God doesn't love you
Come sit down, open up let's make you pray
If God didn't like Homosexuals
Then, why He make me Gay?
He made us Perfect!
Swear y'all choose what y'all like
Having premarital sex but wanna call me a dyke
Cheating on your wife, Lord's name in vain
Disrespecting your parents
Not making this up, this is all in the Book of the Ten Commandments

I wanna be me, who I really am
Not who you want me to be!
I love who I am!
Yes, I'm different and that's what I want you to see
I'm not like other girls
I don't like tight jeans
I don't wear tight shirts
I don't like wearing heels
I don't like how it feels
I don't wear tight skirts

I am myself and that's never gonna change
I'mma be myself and I'mma love myself
No matter what you may say
Cause I'm gay and proud and I'm loud (I'm loud)
Being fake is not my style (my style)
Go ahead and hate from the other side
Cause we running things right now
All my life
People told me like just dress like a girl
Try to date another boy, hey he might bring you joy
He really might rock your world
You haven't found him yet (nah)
Haven't found the right one

Not who you want me to be!
I love who I am!
Yes, I'm different and that's what I want you to see
I love who I love
I wear what I wear
I'm proud to be me
No longer living in the dark
I'm proud to be free!
