November 5th, 1989. Boogie's Diary...
It was a Sunday night in Taylor town,
when my momma asked,
"Boogie, how do you get down?"
I was so scared,
didn't know what to say.
What would she do if she knew
I was "that way?"
At first I figured it'd be no surprise,
but she didn't have a clue -- and I couldn't lie --
So I faced my fear, swallowed my pride.
When I confirmed a rumor, she almost died.
She said:
"Hey boy, whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do with the
whole world against you?
Hey boy, whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do for you?
It's tough being a gay boy.
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when the
whole world rejects you?"
My emotions went up in flames.
That was the night that I became a...
b. i. t. c. h. -- Boogie's In Total Control of Himself.
b. i. t. c. h. -- I've got total control...
b. i. t. c. h. -- Boogie's In Total Control of Himself.
b. i. t. c. h. -- It's my world now...
I went to school the next morning
with an attitude.
Had a chip on my shoulder
I refused to move.
It wasn't just their world,
it was my world too.
And if they thought any different,
I had no problem saying "F**k you..."
And I said it with pride, cuz my sexuality
don't define my life.
Still they tried to break me and
tarnish my name.
But I still heard my momma's words
in my brain.
Saying: "Hey boy, whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do with the
whole world against you?
Hey boy, whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do for you?
It's tough being a gay boy.
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when the
whole world rejects you?"
Just as sure as I know my name,
that was the night that I became a....
b. i. t. c. h. -- Boogie's In Total Control of Himself.
b. i. t. c. h. -- I've got total control...
b. i. t. c. h. -- Boogie's In Total Control of Himself.
b. i. t. c. h. -- It's my world now...
In the one sky, there are billions of stars.
Each one is different, but they're all beautiful.
Don't you let nobody steal your shine.
I was only 16 when I found mine.
