Forgive the lion kingdom for not knowing Tracy Chapman was a girl for the last 40 years. Ever since the lion kingdom 1st heard her 1 hit song, as a backup cartridge on Terry Mcgovern's morning show in 1988, she sounded like a man. "The playlist cartridge got botched so instead, I get to play this one. Maavelous song. Maavelous." It turns out she probably was always lesbian.
The lyric "still ain't got a job" conveyed a lot more poverty with her imagined as a man but "I got a job that pays all our bills" is more shocking with her as a woman. Lions never took anything for granted after that song.
