~Understanding~
Posted By: ericka richardson on March 15, 2006





Walking through the crowd all eyes on me
Because it's not my personality but my clothes they see
Many beg to differ, some accept, some disagree
My thoughts ain't stuntin' them cuz my preference is free
My preference is free and I live freely and as far as I'm concerned, it's not your place to judge
You can dislike me because my life is abnormal but free, because you see, personaly, I don't care who holds a grudge
Get to know me before you speak, look beyond what your eyes see
Gay is not my name, but gay is what'll I'll be

This is my life in which I take command
Having bubble eyes and faces of two is not my demand
My fellow kinfolk, fans, and readers, can absorb the words on this paper, but can you accept and understand
If you didn't know me personaly would you care or dare to hold my hand
I think of yall as yall think of me...disgust! (not everyone)
Just those who think of "us" in disgust, I think of those just the same
Because you passed bad judgement before you cared to know my name
Well it's Ericka Richardson, now get to know me
Don't let thy eyes percieve thee
Gay is not my name, but gay is what I'll be
