 Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
 Heart plays in ways the mind can't—
 Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
 This is how we conceptualize human beings

 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 the 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 hug on 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 tellin'
 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"

 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, "nigga"
Nigga, nigga, nigga, 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' Quik 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 game
 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 ign'ant
 My favorite cousin said he's returning the favor
 And following my auntie with the same behavior

 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 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
"Nigga, nigga, nigga," 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
 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

 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 of preacherman
 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
 "Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
 Church, his auntie is a man now," it hurt
 You the most 'cause your belief was close to his words
 Forcing me to stand now
 I said, "Mr. Preacherman, 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 ain't think that you'd know any different
 See, I was taught words was nothing more than a sound
 If ever they was pronounced without any intentions
 The very second you challenged 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
'Nigga, nigga, nigga,' we can say it together
 But only if you let a white girl say 'Nigga'"
