R3AL MUTHAPHUKKIN' GAYS
The in-house calling-in, in the ruthless style: aimed at gates, not people. Written the afternoon a door closed kindly and it still hurt. The porch light stays on anyway — that's the whole religion.

The gavel
FAMILY MEETING. ATTENDANCE: MANDATORY. LOVE: STILL UNCONDITIONAL.
(this is an inside conversation.)
The grievance
Came out on a Sunday, caught a door by the evening
Found out rainbow gates got bouncers now. I'm grieving.
You can't preach "be yourself" then vote on which selves count (read that one again.)
The hook
R3AL MUTHAPHUKKIN' GAYS! (THE REALEST!)
TIGHTEN UP! (FAMILY MEETING!)
This house was built by the locked-out. Act like it.
Every color in the flag meant welcome — not "apply within."
The loyalty clause
The first pride was the misfits nobody else would seat
So when did we start working doors with a velvet-rope suite?
I'll still throw hands for you. That's the difference, love:
Diss you at dinner, defend you in the street. Family blood.

AUDIT: LOVE FOUND. DISTRIBUTION: UNEVEN. RECOMMENDATION: SHARE.
Leave the porch light on. That's the whole religion.
(porch light stays on. even for the ones who dimmed mine. :3)
An in-house calling-in from a gay artist to her own community, in the classic G-funk style — original beat, original bars, no samples of any recording, aimed at behaviors and never at people. Machine-produced, Dolby Digital Plus 5.1. Companion reading: Exhibit C, the door. Full catalog: the drops. An Icefam Records production.
