[00:00.033] Heart plays in waves, the mind can't figure out
[00:02.801] Heart plays in waves, the mind can't figure out
[00:05.576] Heart plays in waves, the mind can't figure out
[00:08.592] This is how we conceptualize human beings
[00:11.302]
[00:20.628] My auntie is a man now
[00:23.190] I think I'm old enough to understand now
[00:26.427] Drinking Paul Masson with her hat turned backwards
[00:28.487] Motorola pager off like, "Yes, Jackie"
[00:31.040] Blue Air Max's, gold chains and curl kits
[00:33.772] '93 Nissan wax job, the earliest
[00:35.779] Big social, big personality, vocal
[00:38.342] Played underground verbatim and stayed local
[00:40.731] My auntie is a man now
[00:43.225] I watch him and his girl hold their hands down
[00:45.844] Tip of the avenues street lights made his
[00:47.707] Thinking, "I want me a bad bitch when I get big"
[00:50.340] They walk the corner like California king
[00:52.231] Cold hand all up her skirt, cars whistling down the road
[00:54.660] See, my auntie is a man now, slight bravado
[00:58.157] Scratching the likes from lotto
[00:59.691] Hoping that she pull up tomorrow
[01:00.929] So I can hang out in the front seat
[01:02.366] Six by nines keeping the music up under me
[01:04.556] My auntie is a man now
[01:06.949] Asked my momma why my uncles don't like him that much
[01:09.391] And at the parties why they always wanna fight him that much
[01:11.609] She said "Ain't no telling
[01:13.717] Niggas always been jealous because he had more women
[01:15.903] More money and more attention made more envy
[01:17.916] Calling him anything but than broke was less offending"
[01:20.373]
[01:21.671] My auntie is a man now
[01:23.660] I think I'm old enough to understand now
[01:25.835] Drinking Paul Masson with her hat turned backwards
[01:28.025] Back when it was comedic relief to say "Faggot"
[01:30.678] Faggot, faggot faggot, we ain't know no better
[01:33.568] Elementary kids with no filter however
[01:35.802] My auntie became a man and I took pride in it
[01:37.964] She wasn't gay, she ate pussy, and that was the difference
[01:40.443] That's what I told my friends in second grade
[01:42.751] She picking up from school, they stare at her in the face
[01:45.390] They couldn't comprehend what I grew accustomed
[01:47.717] We pull off bumpin' quick like it was nothing
[01:50.363] My auntie is a man now, what a relationship
[01:53.537] I grew up fast, I needed no one to babysit
[01:55.863] He gave me some cash then gave me some gang
[01:57.674] Cherry freshener on the dash, I never complained
[01:59.507] She even cut my hair at the pad, was loving my fade
[02:01.443] The first person I seen write a rap
[02:03.963] That's when my life had changed
[02:06.176] House full of demo, smoke stuck on the window
[02:07.747] Cameras on the microphone, all women and men though
[02:10.643] My auntie was a man now, we cool with it
[02:12.924] The history had trickled down and made us ig'nant
[02:16.286] My favorite cousin said he's returning the favor
[02:18.390] And following my auntie with the same behavior
[02:20.810]
[02:21.215] Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
[02:22.847] He's more confident to live his plan now
[02:25.154] But the family in disbelief this time
[02:27.628] Convincing themselves "He ain't living discreet, he's fine"
[02:30.086] They said they never seen it in him, but I seen it
[02:32.415] The Barbie dolls played off the reflection of Venus
[02:35.384] He built a wall so tall you couldn't climb over
[02:37.955] He didn't laugh as hard when the kids start joking
[02:40.503] "Faggot, faggot, faggot" We ain't know no better
[02:42.885] Middle school kids with no filter, however
[02:45.322] I had to be very mindful of my good cousin
[02:47.707] I knew exactly who he was but I still loved him
[02:50.407]
[02:51.269] Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
[02:53.017] I mean he's really Mary-Ann, even took things further
[02:55.902] Changed his gender before Bruce Jenner was certain
[02:57.703] Living his truth even if it meant see a surgeon
[02:59.969] We didn't talk for a while, he seemed more distant
[03:02.751] Wasn't comfortable around me, everything was offensive
[03:05.100] But I recall we both had a sick sense of humor
[03:07.927] Made raw, but time changes all
[03:10.863]
[03:11.245] Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
[03:12.892] Remember church, Easter Sunday?
[03:15.110] I sat in the pew, you had stronger faith
[03:17.016] More spiritual when these dudes were living life straight
[03:19.701] Which I found ironic 'cause the pastor didn't see him the same
[03:22.270] He said my cousin was going through some things
[03:24.914] He promised the world we living in was an act on abomination
[03:27.432] And Demetrius was to blame
[03:29.476] I knew you was conflicted by the feelings a preacher made
[03:32.198] Wondering if God still call you a decent man
[03:34.636] Still you found the courage to be subservient just to anoint
[03:37.492] Until he singled you out to prove his point, saying
[03:40.455]
[03:40.948] Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
[03:42.663] Church, his auntie is a man now, it hurt
[03:46.133] He the most 'cause his belief was close to his words
[03:48.721] Forcing me to stand now
[03:50.739] I said "Mr. Preacher man, should we love thy neighbor?
[03:52.901] The laws of the land or the heart, what's greater?
[03:55.677] I recognize the study she was taught since birth
[03:58.201] But that don't justify the feelings that my cousin preserved"
[04:01.045] The building was thinking out loud, bad angel
[04:03.511] That's when you looked at me and smiled, said "Thank you"
[04:05.529] The day I chose humanity over religion
[04:08.210] The family got closer, it was all forgiven
[04:10.244] I said them F-bombs, I ain't know any better
[04:12.680] Mistakenly I didn't think you'd know any different
[04:15.176] See, I was taught words was nothing more than a sound
[04:17.726] If everything was pronounced without any intentions
[04:20.382] If every second you challenge the shit I was kicking
[04:22.490] Reminded me about a show I did out the city
[04:25.227] That time I brung a fan on stage to rap
[04:27.754] But disapproved the word that she couldn't say with me
[04:30.620] You said "Kendrick, ain't no room for contradiction
[04:33.040] To truly understand love, switch position
[04:35.682] 'Faggot, faggot, faggot,' we can say it together
[04:38.208] But only if you let a white girl say 'Nigga'"
