By Your Hand (feat. Whose)

Should I die by your hand
I forgive you in advance
Only, I might cry
For the souls you damned
'Cause you couldn't understand
Why one might love a man
Same as you would love a woman
No one's broken through your outer-shell
So look at you, you're wrong as hell
And now you hate yourself

How'd you let those ancient superstitions make you homophobic?
Caught up in a child's image of a man, now outgrow it!
I've been outspoken since the first time I posted
A video on the internet, let me quote it
"Look up Stonewall" and how it snowballed
From Marsha P. Johnson to a civil rights overhaul
Whoever threw that first brick is a hero to me
Y'all too focused on the dick to see a woman at peace
And making freedom more accessible to those that like accessories
Two-Spirits being comfortable after decades and centuries
You must be lacking empathy to disregard the energy
Emanating from the trans community, it's beautiful
Cruelty, been usual, becoming something frowned upon
Duty to the juveniles to see a true phenomenon
Prayers to the people that been fasting during Ramadan
Or letting go for Lent to see their parents turn to paragons of rage

Should I die by your hand
I forgive you in advance
Only, I might cry
For the souls you damned
'Cause you couldn't understand
Why one might love a man
Same as you would love a woman
No one's broken through your outer-shell
So look at you, you're wrong as hell
And now you hate yourself

Ten years a queer, still running off an old model
Inner homophobia, the level of that brown bottle
Sipping on that sauce that had my grand-mama against
The loud side of me that makes the family repent
I knew when I was eight I was different than the rest
Saw the boys running 'round and got a thump inside my chest
I was clutching at my vest in the rumbles of the dance
Highschool I published all the queerness living in my head
Spread it like the gospel, friendships turned hostile
Back became a bullseye, war outside the closet
Gay marriage legalized, parties without logic
Calling off the armies, "What the fuck are we doing?"
Complacent older gays won the mission not the battle
Trans kids rights stripped, trans women murdered
No respect given to a transphobic bastard
Transphobic fascist lives don't matter
Die, pig
