This song was written by Noahfinnce, a trans man, to express the anger that he has about the rise of transphobia in the past decade.
‘When I came out as trans in 2017, I thought things would get better, not worse. Transitioning saved my life, I finally felt at peace in my body, but the rise in anti...
[Verse 1]
So sick and tired of you hiding, just show your true colours
You stick to lying 'cause you'll never face the repercussions
I see you smiling while you're leading the lamb to the slaughter
We're treading deep, I hope you drown inside your muddy waters
[Pre-Chorus]
I know exactly what you are
I know exactly what it tastes like
I don't know how you got this far
(I think that you should)
[Chorus]
Check yourself before I bite back
Your integrity is like a needle in a haystack
Wreck yourself just for a comeback
You're just a scumbag, la-la-la
You're just a scumbag, la-la-la
[Verse 2]
I hurt too, but I've got no respect
For all thе shit that you project from your head
(**** sue mе)
[Pre-Chorus]
I know exactly what you are
I know exactly what it tastes like
I don't know how you got this far
(I think that you should)
[Chorus]
Check yourself before I bite back
Your integrity is like a needle in a haystack
Wreck yourself just for a comeback
You're just a scumbag, la-la-la
You're just a scumbag, la-la-la
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la
[Bridge]
But joy can be found in the dark
Words that were spat at the boy with the mark, he'd tell you
"You can't break the spell when you've turned off the light
You're sentenced to Hell when you put up a fight"
I am what I am and I won't be ashamed
I take umbrage with hate that you scratched on your page
This inclusion delusion and gender confusion
Why are you assuming there's room for debate?
(I think that you should)
[Chorus]
Check yourself before I bite back
Your integrity is like a needle in a haystack
Wreck yourself just for a comeback
You're just a scumbag, la-la-la
You're just a scumbag, la-la-la

“SCUMBAG” is a diss track for transphobes and TERF’s who hide their hatred of trans people behind the guise of ‘protecting women and children’. I thought things would only get better when I came out as trans in 2017 but the rise in anti trans rhetoric and anti trans legislation in the past few years...
