conversations.value: Write me a song called If I Told You with the following description: “If I Told You” focuses on a suppressed homosexual coming out to his friend—Joyner takes the perspective of the gay man coming out while Eminem takes the perspective of his unsupportive Christian friend. The encounter leads the homosexual man to commit suicide, ultimately giving Em’s character feelings of regret. It also ends in a twist, as Eminem’s character reveals that he’s also gay.
  Notably, Eminem has been criticized for homophobic lyrics and comments in the past. He addressed the accusations during a December 2017 interview with Vulture:
  The first time I got a taste of being called anti-gay was on ‘My Name Is’ when I said, ‘My English teacher wanted to have sex in junior high / The only problem was my English teacher was a guy.’ All I was saying was I don’t swing that way. So when I started getting flack for it, I thought, Alright, you people think I’m homophobic… I was trying to push the buttons of people who were calling me something that I wasn’t. The honest-to-God truth is that none of that matters to me: I have no issue with someone’s sexuality, religion, race, none of that.
  A snippet of the track was leaked on October 28, 2019, and the full version was leaked two days later on October 31, 2019, under the name “What If I Was Gay?”
  A day later, Skylar Grey confirmed her involvement on the track via her Instagram story. It’s unclear whether her part was cut or the leaked version was just an older demo. Make sure the lyrics are different from the original song.

  Uh
  What if I told you that I was different?
  What if I told you that something's missin'?
  And what if I told you we're not alike
  And the way that I feel inside is different than what you picture
  What if I told you I feel divided?
  Keep to myself and I'm awfully quiet
  And what if I told you I been conflicted by my own thoughts
  Trapped in the dark, and I tried to hide it
  No, I'm not a slave to no fuckin' fairy tale
  I bet you think that you know me very well
  Make no mistake, this is not a cry for help
  'Cause I don't owe no one no explanation on how I feel
  [Pre-Chorus: Joyner Lucas]
  But on the real, what if I told you that I was brave?
  I grew up different than I was raised
  But still, what if I told you I'm out of place? Wait
  What if I told you that I was gay?
  [Chorus: Joyner Lucas]
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh [Verse 2: Joyner Lucas]
  Yeah
  What if I told you I'm not alright?
  I mean, I don't feel dead, but I'm not alive
  And what if I told you, "I'm not like you"
  And the shit I've been goin' through, it'll prolly make you cry
  And what if I told you, "I'm not this"
  And the person you think you know don't exist
  Look, I'm not who you know, I'm not who you wish
  I'm not who you want me to be, what you want from me isn't this
  I grew up in church where I couldn't be myself
  I felt like a prisoner, couldn't leave my cell
  They told me, "God don't like ugly," and this an ugly world
  And if I ever seen things different, then I would burn in hell
  [Pre-Chorus: Joyner Lucas]
  And on the real, this is not new, this is not a phase
  I grew up different than I was raised
  But still, what if I told you I'm out of place? Wait
  What if I told you that I was gay?
  [Chorus: Joyner Lucas]
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh [Verse 3: Eminem]
  What if I told you I'm homophobic?
  And you have zero control over your impulses
  And the genetic flaw in your chromosomes is the culprit
  It's something I can't sugarcoat, it's repulsive
  We were homies, since children, I thought it
  But thought I was buggin', though
  'Cause we'd sit, chill and just talk chicks
  Now how can we be friends still after all this
  Unless, I can convince you to repent
  Ask God to forgive you for your sins
  And begin healin' your conscience
  And rid you of this sick illness that causes it
  Part of me wishes you'd kept this shit, still in the closet
  I'm white but I'm gettin' mixed feelings like Logic
  Yeah, I'm pissed off a little, this is a choice
  We were supposed to be boys
  You're actin' like this ain't optional
  What if I said you was weak?
  'Cause you don't got the strength to conquer some biological monster that's part of you
  That's responsible for them homosexual thoughts
  If you don't want a lecture, part
  Like a sofa section or long as you
  Make your decision and stand by it, but I can't be beside it
  'Cause for me, that'd be next to impossible
  Or you learn to control your urges
  You say, "It's like pullin' teeth and morals are oral surgeons"
  But how would you even know anyways if you're a virgin
  Why can't you be a normal person?
  What if I tried steerin' you towards a girlfriend?
  Wouldn't work, would it? You seem pretty surefooted
  I'm sure good at judgin', but I have no right
  I know goodbye seems cold, right?
  Not even a flicker of hope like a strobe light
  As I leave and I swear I stayed up that whole night
  And no, I didn't know you would go right home and go take your own life
  I ain't mean for that shit to happen, I said I won't cry
  I let the best friend that I've ever known die
  Alone, was gonna tell you the next day
  I'm so sorry, I'm fightin' my own demons, I won't lie
  They won't leave me alone, eating at my soul, this whole time
  I've been tortured, imprisoned in my own mind
  A born again Christian but Lord if you're listenin'
  We might be headed for a collision
  'Cause when I told my boy I couldn't support his decision
  I was tryna make it seem like a choice, when it isn't
  Can't be cured with a prayer to Saint Jude
  What If I told you my wish never came true?
  What if I'm a hypocrite who's afraid to just face truth? Wait
  What if I told you I'm gay too? [Chorus: Joyner Lucas]
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh, duh nuh nuh duh
  Duh nuh
