You don't understand the pain,
Tryna walk and talk everyday
Cuz of my skin color and gender they judge
And it's just not strangers its also my blood
I'm tired of feeling like I'm lower than everyone else
I just hope one day I can accept myself
Embrace me for me, I don't need no one else
Embrace for me, I don't need no one else
I'm tired of these sick games
I'm tired of these selfish ways
So done with these bullshit rules
I only have one life and I'm bout to live it my way
I don't care what no one thinks
Cuz at the end of the day
I'm gonna be the best me I can be
I'm gonna be the best me I can be
I'm gonna be the best me I can be
I'm not gonna cry anymore tears from being this way
I'm done saying prayers hoping things will change
I'm just gonna be the same I can be, being real, being funny, being all of me
Cuz I'm just a wounded butterfly tryna reach its destination up in the sky
Tryna fly high
Oh tryna fly high
Days after days I would be scared to speak
Feeling like a knife was stuck through my teeth
I would be anxious of what others say
So I would try to hide who I am
Pretend to be someone I can't understand
Just so I can try to fit in
I don't understand how I did it
I don't understand how I didn't
Tell nobody the truth cuz I didn't want to be judged for being gay
Tell nobody the truth, didn't want to be judged anymore
Already judged for the skin color I'm in
Next thing would be me liking men
I'm tired of these sick games
Tired of these selfish ways
So done with these bullshit rules
I only have one life and I'm bout to live it my way
I don't care what no one thinks
Cuz at the end of the day I'm gonna be the best me I can be
Be the best me I can be
