I'm just another survivor It took me a long time to realize my worth And this is my story Since I was a kid, I used to go to church with my mom She loved to hear me sing, loved the way I was I thought it was a good place to be But the people weren't good to me They used to say Maria, your son is different He acts too soft Keep an eye on him Or he'll turn out gay Bunch of motherfuckers Is that what you say to a mother about her own child? Thank God my mom was amazing She heard all that and thought There's nothing wrong with my son But you know how people are They care more about your life than their own That's when I started to understand There was nothing wrong with me I was just a kid Even if I didn't like boy stuff Even if I was a sweet kid Even if I was a little gay boy: Like they used to say I was still just a kid I deserved respect The respect they didn't give me or my mom So now I'm here to say Irresponsible adults, this one's for you! How many times did you laugh at me? Told your kids to beat me up? Be a man, speak tough Change that way of yours That's not how a man behaves! I heard it over and over I was just a child And I couldn't defend myself But now I'm grown And I'm here to say Bunch of motherfuckers Go fuck yourselves! Years passed And I felt this weight inside A teen going through puberty Trying to fit in I didn't feel attraction to girls But religion told me to fake it Still, the girls didn't want me I wasn't the macho type they looked for I was always just a friend That feeling was heavy I had no one to talk to about it How many times did I cry in my room, alone? Asking God to take those feelings away But after the prayer, nothing happened And you know why? Because there was nothing wrong with me God is love, He made me this way He created me and knows exactly who I am So fuck what the others think or say Hey, never let anyone tell you who to be Be free, be proud, be you Hey, you, yeah, you who's always been different The world called you a little gay kid They'll always try to make you feel wrong Say your feelings are a sin But let me tell you something Don't let them make you feel small And shout it with me Bunch of motherfuckers Go fuck yourselves! Hey, listen to me Never let anyone decide who you are You can count on me, always We're in this together
