Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
This is how we conceptualize human beings
[Verse 1]
My auntie is a man now
I think I'm old enough to understand now
Drinking Paul Masson with her hat turned backwards
Motorola pager, Off-White Guess jacket
Blue Air Max's, gold chains and curl kits
93 Nissan wax job, the earliest
Big social, big personality, vocal
Played underground verbatim and stayed local
My auntie is a man now
I watch him and his girl hold their hands down
Tip of the avenues under street lights made his
Thinking, "I want me a bad bitch when I get big"
They walk the corner like California king
Cold hand all up her skirt, cars whistling down the road
See, my auntie is a man now, slight bravado
Scratching the likes from lotto
Hoping that she pull up tomorrow
So I can hang out in the front seat
Six by nines keeping the music up under me
My auntie is a man now
Asked my momma why my uncles don't like him that much
And at the parties why they always wanna fight him that much
She said "Ain't no telling
Niggas always been jealous because he had more women
More money and more attention made more envy
Calling him anything but broke was less offending"
[Verse 2]
My auntie is a man now
I think I'm old enough to understand now
Drinking Paul Masson with her hat turned backwards
Back when it was comedic relief to say "Faggot"
Faggot, faggot faggot, we ain't know no better
Elementary kids with no filter however
My auntie became a man and I took pride in it
She wasn't gay, she ate pussy, and that was the difference
That's what I told my friends in second grade
She picking me up from school, they stare at her in the face
They couldn't comprehend what I grew accustomed
We pull off bumpin' quick like it was nothing
My auntie is a man now, what a relationship
I grew up fast, I needed no one to babysit
He gave me some cash then gave me some gang
Cherry freshener on the dash, I never complained
She even cut my hair at the pad, was loving my fade
The first person I seen write a rap
That's when my life had changed
House full of demo, smoke stuck on the window
Cameras on the microphone, all women and men though
My auntie was a man now, we cool with it
The history had trickled down and made us ig'nant
My favorite cousin said he's returning the favor
And following my auntie with the same behavior
[Verse 3]
Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
He's more confident to live his plan now
But the family in disbelief this time
Convincing themselves "He ain't living discreet, he's fine"
They said they never seen it in him, but I seen it
The Barbie dolls played off the reflection of Venus
He built a wall so tall you couldn't climb over
He didn't laugh as hard when the kids start joking
Faggot, faggot, faggot We ain't know no better
Middle school kids with no filter, however
I had to be very mindful of my good cousin
I knew exactly who he was but I still loved him
[Verse 4]
Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
I mean he's really Mary-Ann, even took things further
Changed his gender before Bruce Jenner was certain
Living his truth even if it meant see a surgeon
We didn't talk for a while, he seemed more distant
Wasn't comfortable around me, everything was offensive
But I recall we both had a sick sense of humor
Made raw, but time changes all
[Verse 5]
Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
Remember church, Easter Sunday?
I sat in the pew, you had stronger faith
More spiritual when these dudes were living life straight
Which I found ironic 'cause the pastor didn't see him the same
He said my cousin was going through some things
He promised the world we living in was an act on abomination
And Demetrius was to blame
I knew you was conflicted by the feelings a preacher made
Wondering if God still call you a decent man
Still you found the courage to be subservient just to anoint
Until he singled you out to prove his point, saying
[Verse 6]
Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
Church, his auntie is a man now, it hurt
He the most 'cause his belief was close to his words
Forcing me to stand now
I said "Mr. Preacher man, should we love thy neighbor?
The laws of the land or the heart, what's greater?
I recognize the study she was taught since birth
But that don't justify the feelings that my cousin preserved"
The building was thinking out loud, bad angel
That's when you looked at me and smiled, said "Thank you"
The day I chose humanity over religion
The family got closer, it was all forgiven
I said them F-bombs, I ain't know any better
Mistakenly I didn't think you'd know any different
See, I was taught words was nothing more than a sound
If everything was pronounced without any intentions
The very second you challenge the shit I was kicking
Reminded me about a show I did out the city
That time I brung a fan on stage to rap
But disapproved the word that she couldn't say with me
You said "Kendrick, ain't no room for contradiction
To truly understand love, switch position
Faggot, faggot, faggot,' we can say it together
But only if you let a white girl say 'Nigga'"
Srce se igra na način na koji um ne može shvatiti
Srce se igra na način na koji um ne može shvatiti
Srce se igra na način na koji um ne može shvatiti
Srce se igra na način na koji um ne može shvatiti
Ovako konceptualiziramo ljudska bića
[Stih 1]
Moja tetka je sada muškarac
Mislim da sam dovoljno star da bih mogao razumjeti sada
Pijeći Paula Massona s njezinim šeširom okrenutim unatrag
Motorola Pager, jakna od bijele nagađanja
Blue Air Max's, Zlatni lanci i kompleti za curl
93 posao Nissan vosak, najraniji
Velika društvena, velika osobnost, vokal
Igrao se pod zemljom doslovno i ostao lokalni
Moja tetka je sada muškarac
Gledam ga i njegova djevojka drži ruke dolje
Vrh avenija pod uličnim svjetlima učinio je njegovim
Misleći: "Želim da me loša kučka kad postanem velika"
Hodaju ugao poput Kalifornijskog kralja
Hladna ruka sve uz njezinu suknju, automobili zvižju niz cestu
Vidite, moja tetka je sada muškarac, lagana hrabrost
Grebanje lajkova iz Lotta
Nadajući se da će se sutra povući
Tako da se mogu družiti na prednjem sjedalu
Šest po devetki držeći glazbu pod mnom
Moja tetka je sada muškarac
Pitao moju mamu zašto ga moji ujaci ne vole toliko
I na zabavama zašto se uvijek žele toliko boriti protiv njega
Rekla je: "Ne govori
Crnja su uvijek bili ljubomorni jer je imao više žena
Više novca i više pažnje učinili su veću zavist
Nazivati ga bilo što, ali slomljeno, manje je vrijeđalo "
[Stih 2]
Moja tetka je sada muškarac
Mislim da sam dovoljno star da bih mogao razumjeti sada
Pijeći Paula Massona s njezinim šeširom okrenutim unatrag
Natrag kad je bilo komično olakšanje reći "peder"
Peder, peder pedera, ne znamo bolje
Ipak, elementarna djeca bez filtra
Moja tetka postala je muškarac i ponosila sam se zbog toga
Nije bila gay, jela je macu i to je bila razlika
To sam rekao svojim prijateljima u drugom razredu
Ona me pokupi iz škole, zure u nju u lice
Nisu mogli shvatiti što sam navikao
Izvlačimo se brzo kao da nije ništa
Moja tetka je sada čovjek, kakva veza
Brzo sam odrastao, nije mi trebao nikoga za čuvanje djece
Dao mi je nešto novca, a zatim mi dao neku bandu
Osvježivač trešnje na crtici, nikad se nisam žalio
Čak mi je rezala kosu na jastučiću, voljela je moju izblijedjelu
Prva osoba koju sam vidio kako piše rap
Tada se moj život promijenio
Kuća puna demo, dim se zaglavio na prozoru
Kamere na mikrofonu, sve žene i muškarci
Moja tetka je sada bila muškarac, ohladimo se s njom
Povijest se srušila i učinila nas IG'nant
Moj omiljeni rođak rekao je da vraća uslugu
I slijedeći moju tetku s istim ponašanjem
[Stih 3]
Demetrius je sada Mary-Ann
Sada je sigurniji da živi svoj plan
Ali ovaj put obitelj u nevjerici
Uvjeravajući se "da ne živi diskretno, dobro je"
Rekli su da ga nikad nisu vidjeli u njemu, ali vidio sam to
Lutke Barbie odigrale su odraz Venere
Sagradio je zid tako visok da se nisi mogao popeti
Nije se nasmijao tako teško kad se djeca počnu šaliti
Peder, peder, peder, ne znamo bolje
Djeca srednje škole bez filtra, međutim
Morao sam biti vrlo svjestan svog dobrog rođaka
Točno sam znao tko je, ali i dalje sam ga volio
[Stih 4]
Demetrius je sada Mary-Ann
Mislim, on je stvarno Mary-Ann, čak je i dalje uzeo stvari
Promijenio svoj spol prije nego što je Bruce Jenner bio siguran
Živjeti njegovu istinu čak i ako je to značilo vidjeti kirurga
Nismo razgovarali neko vrijeme, činilo se dalekim
Nije bilo ugodno oko mene, sve je bilo uvredljivo
Ali sjećam se da smo oboje imali bolesni smisao za humor
Napravio sirovo, ali vrijeme mijenja sve
[Stih 5]
Demetrius je sada Mary-Ann
Sjećate se crkve, uskrsne nedjelje?
Sjedio sam u klupi, imao si jaču vjeru
Više duhovni kad su ti momci živjeli život ravno
Što sam smatrao ironičnim jer ga pastor nije vidio isto
Rekao je da moj rođak prolazi kroz neke stvari
Obećao je da je svijet u kojem živimo bio djelo o gadosti
A Demetrius je bio kriv
Znao sam da ste sukobljeni osjećajima koje je propovjednik napravio
Pitate se da li te Bog još uvijek naziva pristojnim čovjekom
Ipak ste pronašli hrabrost da je podređena samo za pomazanje
Sve dok vas nije izdvojio da dokaže svoje stajalište, rekavši
[Stih 6]
Demetrius je sada Mary-Ann
Crkva, njegova tetka je sada čovjek, boli
On je najviše zbog toga što je njegovo uvjerenje bilo blizu njegovih riječi
Prisiljavajući me da sada stanem
Rekao sam: "Gospodine propovjednik, trebamo li voljeti svog susjeda?
Zakoni zemlje ili srca, što je veće?
Prepoznajem studiju koju je podučavala od rođenja
Ali to ne opravdava osjećaje koje je sačuvao moj rođak "
Zgrada je razmišljala glasno, loše anđeo
Tada ste me pogledali i nasmiješili, rekli "hvala"
Dan kad sam odabrao čovječanstvo nad religijom
Obitelj se približila, sve je to oprošteno
Rekao sam im F-Bombs, ne znam bolje
Pogrešno nisam mislio da biste znali drugačije
Vidite, podučavale su me riječi bile ništa više od zvuka
Ako je sve izgovoreno bez ikakvih namjera
Sekundu da izazivate sranje koje sam udario
Podsjetio me na show koji sam napravio grad
To vrijeme na pozornicu sam navijao na pozornicu
Ali neodobrala je riječ koju nije mogla reći sa mnom
Rekli ste "Kendrick, nije bilo prostora za kontradikciju
Da biste istinski razumjeli ljubav, prebacite položaj
Peder, peder, peder, 'možemo to reći zajedno
Ali samo ako pustite bijelu djevojku da kaže 'crnja' "
