I got fired because I'm a woman
I got fired because I'm black

I got fired because I'm an asshole
I got fired because I'm gay

Ooh, looks like nobody's coming
To my party, no no no no no no no no

The lyrics of Fantastic Negrito's song "Transgender Biscuits" represent a call for unity and change in the face of discriminatory and unjust treatment. The repeated refrain of "change, change, change, change" encourages people to come together and stand up for their rights, regardless of their identities. The verses are a series of examples of people getting fired for various reasons, including race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and appearance. The singer uses humor and irony to point out the absurdity of these prejudices and emphasize the need for solidarity. The final lines about the Oakland rain falling on the singer's head suggest a need for cleansing and renewal, symbolizing a fresh start and hope for a better future.
The song's title is a play on words, combining the idea of transgender identity with a colloquial term for "biscuits" (a type of bread). This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the fluidity of identity and the diversity of human experiences.
