[Verse 1]
I live in my own home
I live in my paper
The absence becomes me
A reticent spectre
[Chorus]
Oh, why don't you do as you're told
Oh, happiness isn't your goal
I'm not just a boy, I'm a man
I'm not just a man, I'm a god
I'm not just a god, I'm a maker
[Verse 2]
No country for crazy
But thank you for asking
My markings and makings
Belong in the trash bin
[Chorus]
Oh, why don't you do as you're told
Oh, happiness isn't your goal
I'm not just a boy, I'm a man
I'm not just a man, I'm a god
I'm not just a god, I'm a maker
[Post-Chorus]
Mind your maker
Have you ever seen anything quite like this?
Have you ever known anything quite like this?
Have you ever done anything quite like this?
Have you ever seen anything quitе like this?
Maker was written by Anjimile Chithambo.
Maker was produced by Justine Bowe & Gabe Goodman.
“When I wrote "Maker,” it was the beginning of the realization that just as I could build my own sense of spirituality and build my own faith and relate to a God of my understanding, I could do the same thing with my gender and my sexuality. And that’s what I did.“
