i wrote this song when i used to check my message requests on facebook and entertain the hateful ones. as a gender non-conforming person i used to get a lot of people who would send nasty shit but in some fake-concerned way.
i don't really entertain that sort of stuff (see verse 2) now but it used to get on my nerves a lot because of the presumptions made about me. anyone who knows me knows i'm very concerned about safety of myself and the people around me. i don't affiliate with people that i can't get character references for. i don't travel alone in my wigs and makeup.
no time to entertain that shit these days but yeah here's a song i wrote about those sorta sentiments.
lyrics
verse 1:
what's the point of growing up
scared of everyone you trust?
what's the point of being scared?
life, it only happens once
fuck you all
what you say
i don't care anyways
prototypes
full of hate
that's a life turned to waste
what's the point of destiny?
nothing's really meant to be
what's the point of modesty?
go be who you wanna be
cult-like
brainless hate
you cant get a fucking date
follow trends
i make my way
never scared
against the grain
CHORUS:
so tell me my life
i know what you'll say
you'll say i'm not safe
FUCK you don't even know who i am!!
(x2)
VERSE 2:
what's the point of wasting time
with stupid shit you saw online?
life's a bitch and then you die
but it's still worth a fucking fight
rise above
rage against
ignorance and rhetoric
people never shut up
if they never face a consequence
why you wanna close your mind
knowledge is a force divine
there's a way to free your mind
if you don't wanna be confined
fend myself
work the grind
senses working overtime
can i thrive in chaos
it's no easy fight
but here, it's mine
CHORUS
RAP? BRIDGE? VERSE 3? BREAKDOWN?
so tell me i won't survive
as if you even know me
tell me i won't survive
criticize like you control me
you just sound dumb
fuck you won't
walk a mile
see that i did something with my life
that i had dreamed since i was a child
catch me rocking at my shows
in my wigs and thigh-highs
and i did it all myself
so i wear that shit with pride
all the stares all the glares
are you talking shit in here?
should i let that shit affect me?
well i'll tell you how i feel
sorry, but i'd rather stun
i can cop some lace and leather
basics chasing cheddar
you can chase that shit forever
and i wish you all the best
but y'all could be more fucking clever
so see, i'm just a fucking brat
cold hearted heart-attack
loving life and giving that
to all my friends who have my back
and if you don't i'm still intact
you fuckers never phase me
it's crazy
i guess it's fucking crazy you
you don't even know who i am
so please just shut up
