lyrics

Some have called me lover, a home made where our bodies meet
Some have called me Other, a failed boy in the streets
All my life is people telling me what's wrong or right
But no one can tell you who you are in the middle of the night

I been called a brother and a sister
I been called a m'am and a mister
Hot-blooded and cold
When walking out the door when the lies got old

Well, you can call me anything you want
But you can't call me my dead name
Oh, you can call me anything you want
But you can't call me my dead name

And nobody knows just how long
I was, I was a sucker baby
Oh just a sucker baby

I been called a loser and winner
I been called a saint and a sinner
I been called weak, then tough
Your everything and then not enough

Well, you can call me anything you want
But you can't call me my dead name
Oh, you can call me anything you want
But you can't call me my dead name

I was, I was a sucker baby
Oh just a sucker baby
But not anymore, not anymore
