When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay |
| [00:45.32] |
‘Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight |
| [00:48.90] |
I told my mom tears rushing down my face |
| [00:51.44] |
She’s like “Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k tripping,” |
| [00:55.51] |
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn’t she? |
| [00:57.55] |
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head. |
| [00:59.79] |
I remember doing the math like, “Yeah, I’m good at little league” |
| [01:02.77] |
A preconceived idea of what it all meant |
| [01:05.66] |
For those that liked the same sex |
| [01:06.95] |
Had the characteristics |
| [01:08.35] |
The right wing conservatives think it’s a decision |
| [01:10.04] |
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion |
| [01:13.87] |
Man made rewiring of a predisposition |
| [01:16.41] |
Playing god, aw nah here we go |
| [01:19.84] |
America the brave still fears what we don’t know |
| [01:22.58] |
And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten |
| [01:25.02] |
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago |
| [01:28.16] |
I don’t know |
| [01:30.05] |
And I can’t change |
| [01:32.21] |
|
| [01:35.63] |
Even if I tried |
| [01:38.71] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [01:41.50] |
I can't change |
| [01:43.94] |
Even if I try |
| [01:46.73] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [01:50.81] |
My love |
| [01:51.40] |
My love |
| [01:51.70] |
My love |
| [01:52.45] |
She keeps me warm |
| [01:55.09] |
She keeps me warm |
| [01:57.87] |
She keeps me warm |
| [02:00.76] |
She keeps me warm |
| [02:05.44] |
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me |
| [02:08.33] |
Have you read the YouTube comments lately |
| [02:10.97] |
"Man, that’s gay" gets dropped on the daily |
| [02:13.40] |
We become so numb to what we’re saying |
| [02:15.84] |
A culture founded from oppression |
| [02:17.63] |
Yet we don’t have acceptance for ‘em |
| [02:19.28] |
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board |
| [02:21.91] |
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it |
| [02:24.75] |
Gay is synonymous with the lesser |
| [02:27.69] |
It’s the same hate that’s caused wars from religion |
| [02:30.19] |
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment |
| [02:33.17] |
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins |
| [02:35.46] |
It’s human rights for everybody, there is no difference! |
| [02:38.59] |
Live on and be yourself |
| [02:41.39] |
When I was at church they taught me something else |
| [02:44.08] |
If you preach hate at the service those words aren’t anointed |
| [02:47.16] |
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned |
| [02:49.90] |
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless |
| [02:52.69] |
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen |
| [02:55.88] |
I might not be the same, but that’s not important |
| [02:58.62] |
No freedom till we’re equal, damn right I support it |
| [03:01.11] |
|
| [03:11.91] |
And I can’t change |
| [03:14.20] |
Even if I tried |
| [03:17.33] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [03:21.01] |
My love |
| [03:21.56] |
My love |
| [03:21.96] |
My love |
| [03:22.71] |
She keeps me warm |
| [03:25.50] |
She keeps me warm |
| [03:28.59] |
She keeps me warm |
| [03:31.27] |
She keeps me warm |
| [03:34.61] |
|
| [03:36.40] |
We press play, don’t press pause |
| [03:38.59] |
Progress, march on |
| [03:40.03] |
With the veil over our eyes |
| [03:41.43] |
We turn our back on the cause |
| [03:42.92] |
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law |
| [03:45.56] |
When kids are walking ‘round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart |
| [03:48.94] |
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are |
| [03:51.98] |
And a certificate on paper isn’t gonna solve it all |
| [03:54.81] |
But it’s a damn good place to start |
| [03:57.70] |
No law is gonna change us |
| [03:59.49] |
We have to change us |
| [04:00.78] |
Whatever god you believe in |
| [04:02.08] |
We come from the same one |
| [04:03.38] |
Strip away the fear |
| [04:04.78] |
Underneath it’s all the same love |
| [04:06.27] |
About time that we raised up |
| [04:08.51] |
And I can’t change |
| [04:10.34] |
|
| [04:13.77] |
Even if I tried |
| [04:16.56] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [04:19.60] |
I can't change |
| [04:22.09] |
Even if I try |
| [04:24.83] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [04:28.91] |
My love |
| [04:29.21] |
My love |
| [04:29.56] |
My love |
| [04:30.36] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:33.14] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:35.93] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:38.77] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:43.45] |
Love is patient |
| [04:45.63] |
Love is kind |
| [04:48.47] |
Love is patient |
| [04:51.16] |
Love is kind |
| [04:53.21] |
(I‘m not crying on Sundays) |
| [04:54.41] |
Love is patient |
| [04:56.15] |
(I‘m not crying on Sundays) |
| [04:57.19] |
Love is kind |
| [04:58.74] |
(I‘m not crying on Sundays) |
| [04:59.93] |
Love is patient |
| [05:01.72] |
(I‘m not crying on Sundays) |
| [05:02.97] |
Love is kind |
| [05:04.36] |
(I‘m not crying on Sundays) |
| [05:05.50] |
Love is patient |
| [05:07.35] |
(I‘m not crying on Sundays) |
| [05:08.44] |
Love is kind |
| [05:10.03] |
(I‘m not crying on Sundays) |
| [05:11.23] |
Love is patient |
| [05:13.82] |
Love is kind |
