My Name Is Not Steven

In the process of hearing all those classic Whitney  Houston songs on the radio in the wake of her untimely death and her upcoming funeral tomorrow, heard one of my favorites that inspired me to rewrite it and put a transgender twist to it.

So y'all know the drill.   Fire up the iPods and sing along with Moni's remixed lyrics.

My Name Is Not Steven
Sung to the tune of 'My Name Is Not Susan' by Whitney Houston

One day not long ago
I had SRS
I transitioned as you know
Born male, that's part of my past 
From my point of view
Thankful that it didn't last

Cisgender folks you know I can't believe
Your tongue would slip that easily
I know you think I oughta let it be
But get it right, next time
Stop misgendering me 

[Chorus:]
My name is not Steven
So watch what you say
If you're still dissing me
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Steven
Stop calling me he
Show some respect for my femininity
My name is not Steven 
(No, no, no, no, no -- get it, get it, get it right)

While I was running the streets
Hanging with the rainbow peeps
Heard you calling my old name
Then you grinned in my face 
I froze in place
Our friendship won't be the same

Cisgender folks you know I never knew
You'd disrespect my humanity 
I know you think I oughta let it go
But get it right next time
I said good-bye to the boy

My name is not Steven
So watch what you say
If you're still dissing me
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Steven
Stop calling me he
Show some respect for my femininity

My name is not Steven 

My name is not Steven
So watch what you say
If you're still dissing me
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Steven
Stop calling me he
Show some respect for my femininity

My name is not Steven 

I never wanted to be a boy do you get that homey?
I transitioned to be me if you think it sounds real corny
So if you call yourself my friend,
I'm a dame - don't forgot my name
Well, anyway

My name is not Steven
So watch what you say
If you're still dissing me
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Steven
Stop calling me he
Show some respect for my femininity
My name is not Steven 


Don't want to hear about Steven

My name at Steven (X3)

My name ain't Steven
My name ain't Steven
My name ain't Steven
Ya better get it right!

  My name ain't Steven
  My name ain't Steven
  My name ain't Steven
  Ya better get it right!
