When I was in the third grade |
| [00:12.08] |
I thought that I was gay |
| [00:13.57] |
Cause I could draw |
| [00:14.42] |
and my uncle was |
| [00:15.46] |
and I kept my room straight |
| [00:16.88] |
I told my mom tears rushing down my face |
| [00:19.01] |
She's like ＂Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k shrimp〃 |
| [00:22.04] |
Trippin' |
| [00:23.16] |
yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she? |
| [00:25.32] |
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head. |
| [00:27.70] |
I remember doing the math like, ＂yea I'm good at little league〃 |
| [00:30.75] |
A preconceived idea of what it all meant |
| [00:33.29] |
For those that liked the same sex |
| [00:34.81] |
Had the characteristics |
| [00:35.93] |
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision |
| [00:39.23] |
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion |
| [00:41.75] |
Man made rewiring of a predisposition |
| [00:44.03] |
Playing god, aw nah here we go |
| [00:47.88] |
America the brave still fears what we don't know |
| [00:50.66] |
And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten |
| [00:52.84] |
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago |
| [00:56.86] |
I don't know |
| [00:58.18] |
And I can't change |
| [01:02.29] |
Even if I tried |
| [01:06.47] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [01:09.59] |
I can't change |
| [01:12.05] |
Even if I try |
| [01:14.65] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [01:18.00] |
My love My love My love |
| [01:20.26] |
She keeps me warm |
| [01:23.02] |
She keeps me warm |
| [01:25.74] |
She keeps me warm |
| [01:28.58] |
She keeps me warm |
| [01:33.22] |
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me |
| [01:35.83] |
Have you read the YouTube comments lately |
| [01:38.68] |
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily |
| [01:41.25] |
We become so numb to what we're saying |
| [01:43.50] |
A culture founded from oppression |
| [01:45.47] |
Yet we don't have acceptance for |
| [01:47.05] |
'em Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board |
| [01:49.59] |
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it |
| [01:52.79] |
Gay is synonymous with the lesser |
| [01:55.57] |
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion |
| [01:57.77] |
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment |
| [02:00.64] |
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins |
| [02:03.60] |
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference! |
| [02:06.44] |
Live on and be yourself |
| [02:09.13] |
When I was at church they taught me something else |
| [02:11.52] |
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed |
| [02:15.02] |
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned |
| [02:17.92] |
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless |
| [02:20.77] |
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen |
| [02:23.73] |
I might not be the same, but thatˇs not important |
| [02:26.26] |
No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it |
| [02:38.76] |
And I can't change |
| [02:41.73] |
Even if I tried |
| [02:44.93] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [02:48.07] |
My love My love My love |
| [02:50.74] |
She keeps me warm |
| [02:53.55] |
She keeps me warm |
| [02:55.92] |
She keeps me warm |
| [02:58.53] |
She keeps me warm |
| [03:03.80] |
We press play, don't press pause |
| [03:05.94] |
Progress, march on |
| [03:07.63] |
With the veil over our eyes |
| [03:09.52] |
We turn our back on the cause |
| [03:11.00] |
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law |
| [03:13.47] |
When kids are walking around the hallway plagued by pain in their heart |
| [03:16.98] |
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are |
| [03:19.97] |
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all |
| [03:22.53] |
But it's a damn good place to start |
| [03:24.86] |
No law is gonna change us |
| [03:27.06] |
We have to change us |
| [03:28.89] |
Whatever god we believe in |
| [03:30.17] |
We come from the same one |
| [03:31.46] |
Strip away the fear |
| [03:32.72] |
Underneath it's all the same love |
| [03:34.06] |
About time that we raised up |
| [03:36.67] |
And I can't change |
| [03:41.01] |
Even if I tried |
| [03:44.39] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [03:47.56] |
I can't change |
| [03:49.90] |
Even if I try |
| [03:52.55] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [03:55.92] |
My love My love My love |
| [03:58.59] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:01.42] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:03.59] |
She keeps me warm |
| [04:06.69] |
She keeps me warm |
