When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay |
| [00:45.210] |
‘Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight |
| [00:47.709] |
|
| [00:47.800] |
I told my mom tears rushing down my face |
| [00:50.750] |
She’s like “Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k tripping,” |
| [00:54.030] |
|
| [00:54.640] |
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn’t she? |
| [00:57.190] |
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head. |
| [00:59.390] |
I remember doing the math like, “Yeah, I’m good at little league” |
| [01:02.170] |
|
| [01:02.180] |
A preconceived idea of what it all meant |
| [01:04.730] |
But those that liked the same sex |
| [01:06.490] |
Had the characteristics |
| [01:07.900] |
The right wing conservatives think it’s a decision |
| [01:10.540] |
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion |
| [01:13.490] |
Man made rewiring of a predisposition |
| [01:16.080] |
Playing god, aw nah here we go |
| [01:19.780] |
America the brave still fears what we don’t know |
| [01:22.180] |
And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten |
| [01:24.480] |
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago |
| [01:28.310] |
|
| [01:28.320] |
I don’t know |
| [01:29.760] |
And I can’t change |
| [01:35.200] |
Even if I tried |
| [01:37.760] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [01:40.790] |
I can't change |
| [01:43.340] |
Even if I try |
| [01:46.140] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [01:50.020] |
My love |
| [01:50.570] |
My love |
| [01:51.270] |
My love |
| [01:52.120] |
She keeps me warm |
| [01:54.960] |
She keeps me warm |
| [01:57.800] |
She keeps me warm |
| [02:00.620] |
She keeps me warm |
| [02:05.070] |
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me |
| [02:07.970] |
Have you read the YouTube comments lately |
| [02:10.560] |
"Man, that’s gay" gets dropped on the daily |
| [02:13.310] |
We become so numb to what we’re saying |
| [02:15.760] |
A culture founded from oppression |
| [02:17.310] |
Yet we don’t have acceptance for ‘em |
| [02:18.910] |
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board |
| [02:21.610] |
|
| [02:21.620] |
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it |
| [02:25.090] |
Gay is synonymous with the lesser |
| [02:27.880] |
It’s the same hate that’s caused wars from religion |
| [02:30.340] |
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment |
| [02:33.100] |
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins |
| [02:35.790] |
It’s human rights for everybody, there is no difference! |
| [02:38.690] |
Live on and be yourself |
| [02:41.430] |
When I was at church they taught me something else |
| [02:44.020] |
If you preach hate at the service those words aren’t anointed |
| [02:47.470] |
|
| [02:47.480] |
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned |
| [02:49.870] |
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless |
| [02:52.810] |
|
| [02:52.820] |
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen |
| [02:55.840] |
|
| [02:55.850] |
I might not be the same, but that’s not important |
| [02:59.250] |
No freedom till we’re equal, damn right I support it |
| [03:11.890] |
And I can’t change |
| [03:14.540] |
Even if I tried |
| [03:17.280] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [03:21.220] |
My love |
| [03:21.910] |
My love |
| [03:22.210] |
My love |
| [03:22.710] |
She keeps me warm |
| [03:25.510] |
She keeps me warm |
| [03:28.350] |
She keeps me warm |
| [03:31.800] |
She keeps me warm |
| [03:36.710] |
We press play, don’t press pause |
| [03:39.160] |
Progress, march on |
| [03:40.560] |
With the veil over our eyes |
| [03:42.000] |
We turn our back on the cause |
| [03:43.690] |
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law |
| [03:46.020] |
when kids are walking around the hallway plagued by pain in their heart |
| [03:49.180] |
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are |
| [03:56.630] |
And a certificate on paper isn’t gonna solve it all |
| [03:57.630] |
But it’s a damn good place to start |
| [04:00.920] |
No law is gonna change us |
| [04:02.070] |
We have to change us |
| [04:02.770] |
Whatever god you believe in |
| [04:03.250] |
We come from the same one |
| [04:04.360] |
Strip away the fear |
| [04:05.970] |
Underneath it’s all the same love |
| [04:06.830] |
About time that we raised up |
| [04:08.770] |
And I can’t change |
| [04:14.510] |
Even if I tried |
| [04:16.520] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [04:19.660] |
I can't change |
| [04:22.110] |
Even if I try |
| [04:26.160] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [04:30.000] |
My love |
| [04:30.500] |
My love |
| [04:30.790] |
My love |
| [04:31.450] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:34.400] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:37.190] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:40.040] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:44.600] |
Love is patient |
| [04:47.100] |
Love is kind |
| [04:49.930] |
Love is patient |
| [04:52.730] |
Love is kind |
| [04:54.730] |
(I‘m not crying on Sundays) |
| [04:55.980] |
Love is patient |
| [04:57.440] |
(I‘m not crying on Sundays) |
| [04:58.780] |
Love is kind |

Love is kind |
| [05:11.110] |
(I‘m not crying on Sundays) |

Love is patient |

Love is kind |
