[Verse 1]

I was raised on the greener side

Born both male and white

Had the support of my loving mum

She didn’t doubt me, not even once

Attended a good school and got a degree

Now I can go where I want to be

[Chorus]

I got handed life on a silver plate

Along with everything I need

I see it all and take nothing for granted

So don’t hate me for who I am

But for what I have not done yet

[Verse 2]

Don’t make me feel so damn bad

Only because of what I have

Lord, I know it’s an awful excuse

But I just hope that I can be of use

Give it back to those who will follow

From my shoulders, I’ll let them grow

[Chorus]

I got handed life on a silver plate

Along with everything I need

I see it all and take nothing for granted

So don’t hate me for who I am

But for what I have not done yet

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]

I got handed life on a silver plate

Along with everything I need

I see it all and take nothing for granted

So don’t hate me for who I am

But for what I have not done yet
