[chorus]

i’m an activist
(i’m an activist)
(i’m an activist)
(i’m an activist)

i’m an activist
(i’m an activist)
(i’m an activist)
(i’m an activist)

[verse]

i work hard at my activism, i fight
fascism on behalf of black women
i’ve contributed my blood sweat and tears for
years, volunteering in pursuit of that mission

and my activism focusses on modernizing
language, and stripping away everything that causes
anguish. just like a bad-ss linguist, i’ll
rebuild english without any baggage. for

example the word “women” shouldn’t contain the word
“men”, so i spell it double you eye double em eye
en. and that seems better, but nothing lasts
forever, so maybe in a couple years i’ll get to change it

again. and since the word “women” is a frequent
offender, we should ditch it altogether. it’s
much too short, let’s face it, we should
replace it with “persons of a female gender”

and i ask you to please style my name in the lower
case, for the modesty and grace of my public face
for my humility to have credibility i
have to have my name styled minusculy everywhere it’s

placed. lower case letters prove that i’m
authentic, and that’s how i choose to have myself
represented. it isn’t self-righteous in the
slightest to take exception with styling conventions

and speaking personally, i don’t like the word
“history”, so, for the sake of diversity
i insist that we all call it “herstory”
half of the time for gender consistency

in university, there’s no resisting the
acceleration of modernity brought on
linguistically. “herstory” is a word that certainly will
go down in history as a activist victory

[chorus]

’cause i’m an activist
(’cause i’m an activist)
and the english language as it is is inadequate
(is inadequate)
‘cause i’m an activist
(’cause i’m an activist)
(’cause i’m an activist)

[verse]

look, language is amazing. it’s constantly
changing. so making up a couple of words isn’t such a
strange thing. it’s just fun and engaging. but
make sure you maintain your phrasing with the way things are

changing, ‘cause grammar itself is a form of
oppression that we should just take into possession. this
language of ours is nothing but power so
let’s just wield it at our own discretion

ultimately, it doesn’t matter where your heart is. what
matters are the signals your mouth discharges
your reputation comes from presentation, so
never use the words: “stupid”, “lame” or “r-t-rded”

if sensitivity is something you believe in, you should
always call black people “black bodies” for some
reason. but i don’t question it, because to my
detriment i present as a european. and i

don’t say “non-white people”, i say “people of
color”. ‘cause it really matters what words we choose to
utter. and using exclusionary language to
refer to the excluded others the other

listen, language isn’t a joke. i’m
woke, so i’m careful with the words that i spoke
sure, sometimes i mess up but i’ll always fess up to the
harm that’s been caused by my mistoke

[chorus]

‘cause i’m an activist
(’cause i’m an activist)
and it takes a bit of time to get the knack for it
(get the knack for it)
‘cause i’m an activist
(i’m an activist)
(i’m an activist)

[verse]

when i call myself an activist i really mean it, y’know i
practice what i preach before i teach it. yes i’m
self-sacrificial, and i won’t stop until all
single gender words have been weeded. ’cause it’s

har-ssing? to use gendered language in p-ssing without
asking. it’s better to always stay gender neutral
using the word “their” can be useful but it’s crucial that
if you’re gonna do so you do it without laughing. and you

might think that using the word “their” in the singular is
new, but the english canon proves that that actually isn’t
true. i can prove it. even shakespeare used it! just
check the comedy of errors, act four, scene three, line

two. clearly even shakespeare endorses, the
idea that biology shouldn’t be of linguistic
importance. that is a fact that i learned at
university in my humanities courses. they

told that these words words words, are tied to the
narratives that they further. so ask
before you say “he, him, his”, or “she, her
hers”. or just stick with “they, them theirs” if you

don’t which one they prefers. and maybe we should
all go by “xie, xir, xirs”. but if you
deny the right of trans- people to exist, you
might as well be a m-ss murderer

[chorus]

’cause i’m an activist
(’cause i’m an activist)
and i’m changing up language, so all of y’all better stay on track with it
(stay on track with it)
’cause i’m an activist
(’cause i’m an activist)

and i’ll call you all out if i think that you’re a transphobic sack of sh-t (transphobic sack of sh-t)
’cause i’m an activist
(’cause i’m an activist)
(’cause i’m an activist)
(’cause i’m an activist)

[verse]

as activists we know clearly there should be no
single gender words like latina and latino?
methinks, you should say latinx and filipinx
but don’t jinx it admitting that it boosts your ego!

and you can’t give the proper respect, if you
limit written language to the letters in the alphabet
don’t forget, you should spell lgbtq
with a “2” and you should always spell trans-

[chorus]

with an asterisk
(with an asterisk)
(with an asterisk)
(with an asterisk)

’cause i’m an activist
(’cause i’m an activist)
(’cause i’m an activist)
(’cause i’m an activist)

i spell trans- with an asterisk
(with an asterisk)
(with an asterisk)
(with an asterisk)

’cause i’m an activist
(’cause i’m an activist)
(’cause i’m an activist)
(’cause i’m an activist)
