I AM THE UNSPOKEN Lyrics

Everybody's got an opinion

Everybody's got a voice

You don't need to take it on yourself though

Follow your own voice

Put it in a song

Follow your own advice

What if I could be an idol for these trans kids?

Teach 'em that they aren't broken, the internal shame's rigged

Flash back four years maybe give or take a bit

Came to terms with who I was, my world crashed into a pit

I am the unspoken

Heard that if they saw me they gone leave the guns smoking

Society and pressures got absorbed, my heart broken

I had the line ready and I left myself choking

That ain't no light joking

I was so dysphoric and dissociate my whole life

Try to use the past I left against me now that ain't right

Had to let y'all go because the comments really straight blight

Maybe as you age you'll see your younger self was hate type

I went up to my mother said it's time for my burial

Buttons got pushed now authorities hysterical

Raiding in my house and now the tension sparking clerical

How I survived the past 30 years now that's a miracle

As early I remember being trans was a bad thing

Not presented as an option, joke amongst the class scene

Humans that were punching bags for any reason bashing

Don't even get me started what I heard in music, bad things

So how could I be what I learned if it is horrible?

The only option was to end my life that's not rhetorical

What I've learned since is that trans is beautiful

And lots these fucking haters never stepped outside their cubicle

What if I could be an idol for these trans kids?

Teach 'em that they aren't broken, the internal shame's rigged

Flash back four years maybe give or take a bit

Came to terms with who I was, my world crashed into a pit

I am the unspoken

Heard that if they saw me they gone leave the guns smoking

Society and pressures got absorbed, my heart broken

I had the line ready and I left myself choking

That ain't no light joking

Grown ass bullies will react when you're vulnerable

And expose themselves as unhealed, unaware, culpable

Try to split you from the rest, their words about themselves

I hope that y'all can heal and buy my album of the shelves

Set aside identity my rapping skill excelling geez

I am the professor crossing these students at the spelling bee

But this ain't a song about how I could go and out rap you

I learned to focus on myself, now that's some power snatched up

Center of my core internal voice drowns out the hate

I recommend that energy put inward you'll be great

So this songs for those little kids, sitting up at night

Thinking that they can't survive in a world filled with fright

Not only can you survive my lovely you can thrive

If they hating on your presence

Throw some bows up in their eyes

Toe to toe it if they try, cut em all off from your life

I've done it to my friends, family, even idols of this time

I learned on this journey you define all meaning

Meaning even the negative vibes can serve up your upheaving

I could be your family, the tracks provide amnesty

Admitting your mistakes is the greatest form of handling

Your own inner critic, and the proverbs damaging

They say the world is what you make it from inside

We'll have to see

I never dreamed of extensive hateful crime driven casualties

The greatest human act is to inspire, that's what I will be!

What if I could be an idol for these trans kids?

Teach 'em that they aren't broken, the internal shame's rigged

Flash back four years maybe give or take a bit

Came to terms with who I was, my world crashed into a pit

I am the unspoken

Heard that if they saw me they gone leave the guns smoking

Society and pressures got absorbed, my heart broken

I had the line ready and I left myself choking

That ain't no light joking

Growing up young and dumb I had no trans idols

No celebrities or platforms that felt the way that I do

All I saw was hate, violence, anger, shame, no novel

Catch up to my campaign, don't need a Murcielago

I ride around a bucket, they hate on me it's fuck it

Can only bring one down if you are under what's above it

I was under the influence while they called me such a nuisance

Now I'm three days clean, and in the booth I blow the roof in

Kindness not a weakness, love is not a pretense

My passion steady burning I ain't dancing on the weekend

The outside voices weakened as my inner growth is reaching and

Perception and persona both are truer as we speaking

I went from sickly steady tweaking, tweaking with the tweeters

I could never fuck with someone chalks my pain up to a theater

The last time you heard from me, the last time you'll hear from me

So tell 'em how my game went from viral to longevity (shit)

What if I could be an idol for these trans kids?

Teach 'em that they aren't broken, the internal shame's rigged

Flash back four years maybe give or take a bit

Came to terms with who I was, my world crashed into a pit

I am the unspoken

Heard that if they saw me they gone leave the guns smoking

Society and pressures got absorbed, my heart broken

I had the line ready and I left myself choking

That ain't no light joking
