T.G.A. (The Gay Anthem)

I'm with it, I will stand up
I'm with it, put my hands up
My friends across the planet
It's who we were born to be

I like rock and roll and that was my first goal
Had to practice really hard and eat my Total
But I'm totally gone, bringing my man along
He's down to get famous with me and stay strong
Cuz he is my muse so please accuse
Me of being gay cuz see apparently
It doesn't mean I can't rap
It doesn't mean I have the clap
Or HIV man, open up your eyes and see

This is the gay anthem
If you're with it put your hands up
If you're with it won't you stand up
Repeat it back to me
(open up your eyes and see)
I'm with it, I will stand up
I'm with it, put my hands up (woo!)
My friends across the planet (listen to me)
(open up your eyes and see)
It's who we were born to be

Listen up, I can keep a beat just as well as a straight man
Actually I do it better with a mic in my hand
Who's Fred Phelps, he's a Christian man?
Focus on your own family, damn!
They say God hates us, but they will mistake us
I am living proof that you're not able to change us
Protest them, decorate the church
Showing that we're worth more than bodies in a hearse
Lift that curse, hate reversed, that's E-T-A-H, let love disperse
Anger, frustration, falling out nation
Lyrical bombs from sons and moms
But I don't wanna talk about the war this time
This time I'm making my rainbow shine
Writing this rhyme to stop bullies online
Breaking barriers, be yourself, it's not a crime


This is the gay anthem
If you're with it put your hands up
If you're with it won't you stand up
Repeat it back to me
I'm with it, I will stand up (woo!)
I'm with it, put my hands up
My friends across the planet
It's who we were born to be

It's not a crime

In 2008 we started beating hate
And then along came Prop 8 and you know what to say
Gay, straight, black, white, I just want my civil rights
Hey hey, homophobia's got to go
Call me a maggot, call me a fairy
Call me anything that'll make you feel manly
Manly is me, and mainly it's thee
Who's holding up my marriage opportunity
So let me be free, and let me be me
You don't gotta see what I do in the sheets
But everyone else can talk about sex
Why can't I? What did you expect?
Expect to see me on the cover of a zine
On your radio and in your man's dreams
The gays are coming to the stage
On the front page, winning the fight in the cage
Transforming our age, no more teenage
I'm screaming outrage, I'm about to engage
I'm 'bout to wage, a peaceful war
If you don't start letting us be
Of this country, a part

I'm with it, I will stand up
I'm with it, (woo!) put my hands up
My friends across the planet
It's who we were born to be
(let us be a part)

This is the gay anthem (woo!)
If you're with it put your hands up
(open up your eyes and see)
If you're with it won't you stand up
Repeat it back to me
(breaking barriers, it's okay to be me)
I'm with it, I will stand up
I'm with it, put my hands up
My friends across the planet
It's who we were born to be
