I am strong enough to face my demons tonight
‘Cause I am brave and can handle the fight
And I will not hide, will not lie, will not cry
For the devil will not define what I do with my life
[Verse 2]
And I from now on make up my mind
To take progressive strides in celebrating my pride
And I won’t conceal, won’t mislead, won’t deceive
For the holy spirit lies within me
[Chorus]
I’ve got my hands up 'cause I’ve had enough
Middle fingers up, don’t give a....
Myself I love, I am enough
I’ll live life with pride
Hands up 'cause I’ve had enough
Middle fingers up, don’t give a....
Myself I love, I am enough
I’ll live life with pride
[Verse 3]
I am divinely made the Bible says in His image
So I won’t try to pray the gay away
Oh no, not today
[Verse 4]
I don’t mind what the people claim ‘cause I know I was born this way
So I won’t die living my life filled with shame
Oh no, not today
[Chorus]
Hands up 'cause I’ve had enough
Middle fingers up, don’t give a....
Myself I love, I am enough
I’ll live life with pride
Hands up 'cause I’ve had enough
Middle fingers up, don’t give a....
Myself I love, I am enough
I’ll live life with pride
[Bridge]
Oh Charlie
I know you’re unnerved
I know the truth hurts
But please be benign
Stop lying
Oh Charlie
I know you’re disturbed
Feeling submerged
But to yourself please be kind
Stop lying
Oh Charlie
Drink the serum
Take the elixir
For once, be honest sir
Please stop lying
[Chorus x2]
I’ve got my hands up cause I’ve had enough
Middle fingers up, don’t give a....
Myself I love, I am enough
I’ll live life with pride
Hands up ‘cause I’ve had enough
Middle fingers up, don’t give a...
Myself I love, I am enough
I’ll live life with pride
I’ve got my hands up, cause I’ve had enough
Middle fingers up, don’t give a....
Myself I love, I am enough
I’ll live life with pride
Hands up 'cause I’ve had enough
Middle fingers up, don’t give a....
Myself I love, I am enough
I’ll live life with pride
