Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You don't have to see it
Don't have to believe it
Can't understand or agree it
[Verse 2]
I am who I am
Sir, other or man
Whatever it is you want
I'll never be it
[Chorus]
Pronoun, pronoun
Identity throwdown
So what's in a moniker
I am, I am
[Verse 3]
So easy to do
You let me be me, I'll let you be you
A new day for every he, she or they
[Verse 4]
Don't name me, shame me
Conspiracy frame me
Our society's cancer
Proclaim me
[Verse 5]
This idea of gender is just
Agreed-upon tender
I don't buy it, those selling
They can't blame me
[Chorus]
Pronoun, pronoun
It's a identity throwdown
So what's in a moniker
I am, I am
[Verse 6]
So easy to do
You let me be me, I'll let you be you
A new day for every he, she or they
[Verse 7]
You don't have to see it
Don't even have to believe it
You can understand or agree it
[Outro]
But I am who I am
Sir, other or man
Whatever you want
You know I'll never be it
Oh, whatever it is that you want
You know I'll never be it

“He, She, They” opens the record as an act of radical self-acceptance. It asks whether holiness might be found not in conformity but in authenticity.
