Lyrics

Hey, faggot better run, learn to run 'cuz daddy's home Daddy's sweet lil' boy just a little too sweet And every night the man showed the faggot what a real man should be But the man and the faggot will never see For so many can't even perceive a real man Tell me (tell me) Not that the faggot didn't find a woman fine and beautiful He admired, desired their desires (He wanted love from strong hands) The faggot wanted the love of a man His mother would pray Save him, save him, save him from this life His mother would pray Save him, save him from this life Save him, save me from this life Go to church, boy Faggot, you're just a prisoner of your own perverted world No picket fence, stop acting like a little bitch That's all he sees (Ain't that faggot me?) No love dreams Only the favors sweet Michael performed for money to eat 'Cause the man kicked the faggot out the house at 16 (Mama let it be) Before long he was crowned queen for all the world to see His bloody body face down All hail the queen "The wages of sin are surely death, child" Yes, that's what Mama used to say So there was no sympathy His mother would pray Save him, save him, save him from this life His mother would pray Save him, save him from this life (yes she would now) (Down on her knees) Save him, save me from this life (Ooh-ooh, ooh) Send them, send them (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Sock it to me, now (Ooh-ooh, ooh) Send them, send them (Ooh-ooh, ooh) Who will care for me? (Who will care for me?) Who will love me? His mother would pray Save him, save him, save him from this life His mother would pray Yes she would (yes she would) Save me from this life Save me from this life Save me from this life Yeah, hey faggot You better run, learn to run, 'cause Daddy's home Daddy's sweet lil' boy just a little too sweet, just a little too sweet (La-la-la, la-la-la, save me from this life) (La-la-la, la-la-la, save me from this life) (La-la-la, la-la-la, save me from this life) (La-la-la, la-la-la, save me from this life) Beautiful angels dance around my soul as I rise Searchin' and searchin' Searchin', searchin' Trynna figure out life Let me rise above my fears (Let me rise) above my sadness Let me rise above my dears Let me rise As I rise As I rise
