Mykki raps wrath to men condescending

How they’ll pay her (‘EM)

“This ain’t a hobby!”

Calls us to her (‘EM)

“Circle up circle up,”

Tales from the periphery

A hymn of stolen property

Balls of lightening shoot out her hands

At a history of bastards

What’s the deal with pronouns

Why align with fuckheads

Times like UsToo why choose this team

Of not so righteous dudes?

To be as in a life briefly recalled

As we squoze down the long hall

Holy said Ginsberg

Are those between worlds

Be exceptions

Straighten the rest out

Hey you guys, I mean friends

This way to humanity!

Model correct behavior

Change other men?

Someone’s gotta.…prolly Them

In the OG sense they

Were the enemy

As in them …Against Me!

Then They became Us

Guided by guts

We went

From

Punks

To old dykes—

1 tran, 2 trans

They! bold leap out of binary bins

-pronouns? refuse em

-Make up some

Shake up cis-tems ascribed to parts and

Confuse ‘em

Girls are so cool

Sometimes I wish I was one

Men get free tickets to everything

Professional sports? tom of finland?

That’s hot

I'm more like a mascot

Hey you guys

I mean people…

Pronoun showdown with

The guy at home depot

He don’t know

Sir ma’am sir

Spotlight on me now

Whole store is staring

-what now

Mykki Blanco

Once said

My trans journey’s who I am

Abandon us fugitives?

Naw

You stand with us

Let us see into the mutable deep

You free us

They say

Explain yourself

-tired of educating

I would claim They themself

If we’re gonna go plural

How bout the royal We?

-I was never a king

What’s in your boxers?

None-ya

Like Drew from Trap Girl

N Star Amerasu

We’re hawking

Truth loogies

Into the mouths of babes

Like birdies waiting

At the foot of stages

-We got drawers fulla rage

—that’s what

Now Mykki Blanco

Lead us out

We’re bleeding out

Jack H covered masculinity

It’s all toxicity

“I wanna be like Mykki.*

Fingers splayed, wrist cocked

Mic stand flung across

Shoulders, classic Cooper Lee

Galvanizing

Tucked/untucked

Won’t be androgenized

Fucked, unfucked

-you instruct us:

We must protect black children

We must protect black trans women

Eradicate prisons

Still need Abolition

Race me, full of grace

Embrace

Show up for our own ass

Goddess incarnate

*Dare us

Call our manliness toxic.*

We’re the beloved who loves you

Reason for all moves

Throw us skyward, trust

-you’ll land in the midst of us
