Jonny McGovern (born July 12, 1975), also known by his character name The Gay Pimp, is an American stand-up comedian, musician and podcaster. He has recorded three albums as comedic singer The Gay Pimp, and is also a cast member of Logo's The Big Gay Sketch Show.
Jonny McGovern was born to Mary McGovern and Rob Gutowski in Brooklyn, New York. His parents traveled often and McGovern grew up primarily in Egypt and Thailand. McGovern later returned to the United States to study acting at Boston University, where he earned a BFA.
McGovern stated that he was inspired to create his signature comedic character, The Gay Pimp, after listening to rap songs and interviews by Eminem. McGovern has said,
After the songs from the show began to get heavy rotation in New York City nightclubs, McGovern was approached about making a music video for one of his songs, Soccer Practice. The video for Soccer Practice, which received heavy rotation in dance clubs as well as notoriety on the Internet, featured McGovern in a shirt that was emblazoned with the sequined words "Gay Pimp." In it, he cavorted and simulated sex with scantily-clad men.
In my race, to have it all
To nail it all, I have become
A useless bag, a dead man's sack
All these things find me now
But I get myself a good night's sleep
I don't know what to do about you now
Sometimes breathing's
The hardest thing to do
I'm runnin' after you
Two souls leavin'
ever feelin' down
never turn around
I keep on, movin' round
Turnin' down the things you do
Would it change anything
Heavenly Saints at all
But I get myself a good night's sleep
I don't know what to do about you now
Sometimes breathin's
The hardest thing to do
Runnin' after you
Two souls leavin'
ever feelin' down
never turn around
Now that I know, yeah
You know that I will
Now that I know
I keep on movin', cruisin'
Sometimes breathing's
The hardest thing to do
Runnin' after you
Two souls leavin'
ever feelin' down
never turn around
[Sometimes breathing's (We could make it and it)
The hardest thing to do (Should be alright, cause the bad things inside)
Runnin' after you
Two souls leavin' (Now we can make it and it)
ever feelin' down (Should be alright cause there's bad things inside)
Like the movers and the shakers, I can feel the pressure burn
Like you, I'm caught up in the race
I'm addicted to the rush, under stress, a prisoner
And I don't even know my name
Sometimes I feel like I've been wasting precious time
Life passes by when you're slaving to the grind
What really matters when I cross the finish line
Am I wasting my life?
When I'm reaching for the answers I can never trust my lust
I'm only reaping what I sow
If I'm a lover of the money, I will never have enough
Can't take it with you when you go
Right now I feel like I've been wasting precious time
Life passes by when you're slaving to the grind
What really matters when I cross the finish line
I know I'm wasting my life
Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane, and I'm burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's gave
Living in the fast lane, and I'm feeling the strain
On my life, my life, on my life!
I can't take it any longer
I can not take much more, oh, no!
I won't waste it any longer
My life is mine no more
I'm caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane, and I'm burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's gave
Living in the fast lane, and I'm feeling the strain
I'm caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's game
Living in the fast lane, and I'm burning the flame
Caught up in a rat race, playing in the devil's gave
Living in the fast lane, and it's time for a change
In my life, my life, in my life!
Rat, rat, rat race!
Time has played a game with me
My heart has skipped a beat
A path
A tragedy awaits you at the end of the day.
How could you do this to me?
My black eyes just began to see
The world
My future has just ended today
Once again I search about the crowd
I search about the love allowed
Then quickly snatch away
I want another friend
I can't talk to you anymore
We can't sleep together anymore
I couldn't want anything more
I want you more
Killing me you're killing me you're killing me again
Killing me I'm killing you just killing me my friend
How could I lie to myself?
Sick of myself
Throw my head death would take me away
I'd be lucky to be dead
Damned I stand Damned
I've been waiting everyday
Stays the same
Times a game
Times ashamed of me
Killing me you're killing me you're killing me again
Killing me I'm killing you just killing me my friend
I wanna get shot
Its gotta stop
And I'll keep goin until I'm caught
Shoot me please between the eyes and end this misery
Now that you hate me
I love you even more
Can't dent on me
Bent on my destruction
Rotten to my core
I've been burnt before
And I'll be burnt again
A bitter shell
Burning in hell
Seems like home to me
I think i'll stay awhile
Killing me you're killing me you're killing me again
Killing me I'm killing you just killing me my friend
You never turn back
Time though you want that
Fear’s more than one lie
One fault and you die
Keep on running fast
Don’t dare to be last
God this challenge’s for you
I believe I can prove
I do
You run for a fall
Used blade to get more
Being alone realized
So aware no more lies
Lord, try to get me
You want you will see
God this challenge’s for you
I believe I can prove
Lie down, fair 1, and come away
Till the rain is over and gone
G-G-Gimme the beat now (Face the music)
Lead line (Face the music)
If the air is a little thick in this room 2nite
I reckon it's the result of an onslaught of separatist rookies
Overcome by this colorful sight
Talkin' so fast that even they
Talkin' so fast that even they
Don't know what they mean
Of all the things that base a rhyme
How is it that U everytime
Regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart?
Thank God this ain't Monopoly
U'd make us all go back 2 start
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Race
Face the music
We all bones when we dead
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Cut me, cut U
Both the blood is red
I gotcha
Race
Race
Check it
Three seats over there's a lady black
Entrusted 2 her care is a little white girl
And the fact of the matter is
Before her momma or another kid at school
Tells her about the fallacy that 1 race rules over the other
She'd be a much-better-off-left fool (Face the music)
If we never heard about the evils that those before us committed
Then how my dear, tell me now how my dear, tell me now how now would we know
And then the band say
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Race
Face the music
We all bones when we dead
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Cut me, cut U
Both the blood is red
I gotcha
Race
Race
(Face the music)
D-d-down with H-I-S-T-O-R-Y and all this BS propagandi
Keepin U from me and me from U as we grow
I don't wanna know (I don't wanna know)
Why those before us hated each other
I'd rather believe they never did
I'd rather believe (I'd rather, I'd rather believe)
That there's hope 4 a kid
And if he imitates the best
I guess that's what I'll try 2 be
And I will let the rest dissolve with my guitar underneath the sea
Race
(Face Face Face Face Face)
Face the music (Face the music)

I'm enlightened but enraged in this world I feel so
caged,
Sick and tired of being injected with the shit the
system made.
They have no idea how much this shit hurts,
I got insist, got to persist in dealing with these
jerks.
I'm tossing and turning while I sleep but I still can't
read the signs.
Not knowing that they already control your subconscious
mind.
I got to be damn to think that they can take control of
me,
I can spot them from a mile away or as far as I can
see.
I'm disgusted, your brain is rusted,
You think that I don't know your plan but your already
busted.
In and out, out and in is the way they're going to
screw you,
They lay down the bass, talking to your face, just like
they never knew you.
You try to find the truth but the hedges are to high,
Not knowing that your master wears the big brother
disguise.
You live your life in a fucking daze,
You're just a rat in a fucking maze,
Always trying, keeping up the pace,
You're just another victim of the human race.
Do you really know what the meaning of life means?
System says it's all about the green.
Identity judged by the car your drive,
Is that way you were put here, is that why you strive?
Happiness has become no longer the true goal,
But your job, your money have taken control.
When you can't see your family what good is cash,
When the pursuit of happiness and life comes last?
Race (fucking pace you lost this race)!
So many paths that you can have, which will you choose,
Maybe the left one, maybe the right one, will you win
or lose?
Are you scared? Are you frightened? There's no need to
be afraid,
With the choice that you choose, your own path will be
made.
The paper that you make, your back that you break, this
you do not enjoy.
The pursuit of love and happiness you must employ.
Your Mercedes Benz, your diamond ring and your mobile
phone,
Life is what you make of it and not what you own.
I know it is too late
Too late to stop my hate
My hate will terminate
Terminate the human race
Kill the race
Smile on my face
Kill the race
Smile on my face
Don't believe in equality
Erupt your destiny
Kill the race
Smile on my face
Kill the race
Smile on my face
Don't believe in bosh and lies
We all eat shit and die
Die!
Terror is the oonly way out
Hate this fuckin' place and that's why
I have lost my patience
The human race will soon be extinct
Why are people so naive?
Don't they know we'll all expire?
Terror is the only way out
War and terror is the only way
on't do what you want
Do as I tell you
Die in a war against yourselves
Clench your fist around this world and squeeze
Human nature is its worst decease
Prophets say our race must stop to increase
I just want to see the whole world cease
I have lost my patience
You've not seen the white smoke for years
It seems to me you've stripped out
Stripped out all your gears
You know it will whip you a bit
Don't know if you can handle it
But you can taste it, you taste the thrill
Come on, come on, just one more mile
You can make it if you will
I want to race, I wish you'd race
I want to race you there
Step on out and step on in
To a race that never ends
Drop it out, you know it drags you down
Rather turn your head to see a blurry crown
But then you've been here before
It's sounding better, better more and more
I want to race, I wish you'd race
I want to race you there
Step on out and step on in
To a race that never ends
I want to race, I wish you'd race
I want to race you there
Step on out and step on in
To a race that never ends
This thing, the call
Decision based on knowing
You've joined the race
And now it's got you goin'
Bloodstream is pumping
One hundred miles an hour
You're set to go
You know it's now or not at all
I want to race, I wish you'd race
I want to race you there
Step on out and step on in
To a race that never ends
I want to race, I wish you'd race
I want to race you there
Step on out and step on in
To a race that never ends
We are in a race between education and catastrophy.
I'm not the kind that walks away
But in my mind I knew this day was done too soon
The spark inside, the lights gone dark
Shimmered and I realise my heart is cold as the moon
It's not the first, it's not the last time
That my heart got broken
My love got turned around
Gotta lift myself to higher ground
After the race is run
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
When all's been said and done
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
After the race is run
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
When all's been said and done
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
We don't have time to contemplate
Just know that I'm not twisting fate by leaving so soon
The spark inside, the lights gone dark
Shimmered and I realise my heart is cold as the moon
It's not the first, it's not the last time
That my heart got broken
My love got turned around
Gotta lift myself to higher ground
After the race is run
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
When all's been said and done
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Step by step and day by day
I'm thinking 'bout who will win the race
Don't hold your breath, don't waste your time
I won't be waiting at the finish line
Gotta lift myself to higher ground
After the race is run
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
When all's been said and done
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
After the race is run
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
When all's been said and done
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
