Stanley Ray - This Is Me

Chorus:
Me, this is who I am.
Everyday, this is me.
This is who I am.
Ray Ray, this is me.
This is who I am.
Everyday, this is me.
This is who I am.
Ray Ray, this is me.

Verse 1:
November 4, 1998,
momma gave birth to a boy she named ray.
But right away, born into a world of hate,
he was disowned because he was gay.
Society wants him to be straight,
so he carries that burden everyday.
A wayward child, tryna find his way.
He can't speak for himself
cause he don't know what to say.

Pre-Chorus:
why doesn't anybody listen?
I feel like I'm trapped in a prison.
I can't cope under these conditions.
try being in my position.
I'm insulted everyday.
Haunted by the things that people say.
How much more can a person take?
I can't help that I was born this way.

Chorus:
Me, this is who I am.
Everyday, this is me.
This is who I am.
Ray Ray, this is me.
This is who I am.
Everyday, this is me.
This is who I am.
Ray Ray, this is me.

Verse 2:
I tried so hard to fit in at school
but was always laughed at and made a fool.
"You're so weird!", "you fucking faggot!"
I want love but can't seem to have it.
Coming home is so much worse,
I gotta listen to my parents scream and curse.
Being born is a CURSE.
All it does is hurt.
Being abused and treated just like dirt.

Pre-Chorus:
silly me for thinkin' that I deserved company.
someone who loves me.
someone to kiss, hold and hug me.
I guess all I'll ever be is lonely.
I'm callin' to the sky above,
but I don't think I'm bein' loud enough.
maybe I was born to love,
but not to be loved.

Chorus:
Me, this is who I am.
Everyday, this is me.
This is who I am.
Ray Ray, this is me.
This is who I am.
Everyday, this is me.
This is who I am.
Ray Ray, this is me.

Bridge:
If I should die before I wake,
please don't cry for me.
If I've taken all I could take,
please just let me leave.
Too much anxiety.
I'm sick of bein' treated differently.
Why can't someone just love me?
and accept the fact that this is me.

Chorus:
Me, this is who I am.
Everyday, this is me.
This is who I am.
Ray Ray, this is me.
This is who I am.
Everyday, this is me.
This is who I am.
Ray Ray, this is me.
This is who I am.
Everyday, this is me.
This is who I am.
Ray Ray, this is me.
This is who I am.
Everyday, this is me.
This is who I am.
Ray Ray, this is me.

His eyes have pain in them. Don't stare too long.
