Put your hair down
no decent girl wears it up,
Get rid of those jeans
you should be in a dress,
You are a disgrace to the family
always running around like that.
Toughen up you wimp
no real boy cries like that,
Puff your chest out more
instead of sucking it in,
Be proud of yourself
and stop bringing shame home.
Back and forth we hear it
the taunts and jeers growing up,
Those who should love and support us
doing more to break and tear us down,
Our family and loved ones
being ashamed of who we are.
So where is your boyfriend
all we see is you hanging with girls,
Always going out with them
and never bringing a boy home,
Are you ashamed of us
or are you one of those gays.
I never see you with a girl
only those other boys from school,
Going out for hours with them
and coming back late at night,
Do you have a girlfriend?
or are you another fag boy.
Back and forth we hear it
the taunts and jeers growing up,
Those who should love and support us
doing more to break and tear us down,
Our family and loved ones
being ashamed of who we are.
You are nothing to me
no daughter of mine would act that way,
Get out of my sight and my home
until you can learn proper conduct,
A girl should know her place
and stop trying to be a boy.
You must have been swapped at birth
for no son of mine could act like that,
Leave this house and don't return
unless you can humble yourself and apologize,
A son should be strong and proud
and not weak and worthless.
Back and forth we hear it
the taunts and jeers growing up,
Those who should love and support us
doing more to break and tear us down,
Our family and loved ones
being ashamed of who we are.
Mom you have to understand
I have made my own choices in life,
The girl I am today, I am proud of
and I learned this path from you,
If you my family can not accept me
then I truly am sorry for you.
Dad I know what you think
and you need to understand,
I am a man growing my own way
and not just some puppet on a string,
You want to be in my life
then you need to accept who I am.
Back and forth we hear it
the taunts and jeers growing up,
The circle will continue through us
unless we make a change,
Stand up and be proud of yourself
and just simply be, who you are!
