When I was in the 3rd grade |
| [00:44.10] |
I thought that I was gay |
| [00:45.34] |
Cause I could draw, my uncle was |
| [00:46.65] |
And I kept my room straight |
| [00:48.46] |
I told my mom, tears rushing down my face |
| [00:50.52] |
She's like, "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-K" |
| [00:53.88] |
Trippin', yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she |
| [00:56.82] |
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head |
| [00:59.25] |
I remember doing the math like |
| [01:01.19] |
"Yeah, I'm good at little league" |
| [01:02.50] |
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant |
| [01:04.93] |
For those who like the same sex had the characteristics |
| [01:07.60] |
The right-wing conservatives think its a decision |
| [01:10.30] |
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion |
| [01:13.30] |
Man-made, rewiring of a predisposition |
| [01:16.23] |
Playing God |
| [01:17.07] |
|
| [01:17.29] |
Ahh nah, here we go |
| [01:19.35] |
America the brave |
| [01:20.59] |
Still fears what we don't know |
| [01:22.22] |
And God loves all His children |
| [01:23.53] |
Is somehow forgotten |
| [01:24.91] |
But we paraphrase a book written |
| [01:26.28] |
35 hundred years ago |
| [01:27.95] |
|
| [01:28.40] |
I don't know |
| [01:29.26] |
|
| [01:29.49][Mary Lambert] |
|
| [01:30.09] |
And I can't change |
| [01:31.95] |
|
| [01:34.71] |
Even if I tried |
| [01:38.17] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [01:41.10] |
And I can't change |
| [01:43.47] |
Even if I tried |
| [01:46.53] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [01:50.00] |
My love, my love, my love |
| [01:52.03] She keeps me warm [x4] |
|
| [02:02.69] |
|
| [02:03.05][Macklemore] |
|
| [02:04.65] |
If I was gay |
| [02:05.89] |
I would think hip-hop hates me |
| [02:07.70] |
Have you read the YouTube comments lately |
| [02:10.39] |
"Man that's gay" |
| [02:11.51] |
Gets dropped on the daily |
| [02:12.94] |
We've become so numb to what we're sayin' |
| [02:15.26] |
Our culture founded from oppression |
| [02:17.13] |
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em |
| [02:18.75] |
Call each other faggots |
| [02:19.87] |
Behind the keys of a message board |
| [02:21.87] |
A word rooted in hate |
| [02:22.81] |
Yet our genre still ignores it |
| [02:24.43] |
Gay is synonymous with the lesser |
| [02:27.11] |
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion |
| [02:29.88] |
Gender and skin color |
| [02:31.13] |
Complexion of your pigment |
| [02:32.57] |
The same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins |
| [02:35.38] |
It's human rights for everybody |
| [02:36.62] |
There is no difference. Live on! |
| [02:39.39] |
And be yourself! |
| [02:40.80] |
When I was in church |
| [02:41.99] |
They taught me something else |
| [02:43.51] |
If you preach hate at the service |
| [02:45.31] |
Those words aren't anointed |
| [02:46.74] |
And that Holy Water |
| [02:47.99] |
That you soak in |
| [02:48.67] |
Is then poisoned |
| [02:49.55] |
When everyone else |
| [02:50.61] |
Is more comfortable |
| [02:51.68] |
Remaining voiceless |
| [02:52.36] |
Rather than fighting for humans |
| [02:53.86] |
That have had their rights stolen |
| [02:55.73] |
I might not be the same |
| [02:56.98] |
But that's not important |
| [02:58.29] |
No freedom 'til we're equal |
| [02:59.72] |
Damn right I support it |
| [03:01.27] |
|
| [03:07.07] |
I don't know |
| [03:08.43] |
|
| [03:08.60][Mary Lambert] |
|
| [03:11.60] |
And I can't change |
| [03:14.04] |
Even if I tried |
| [03:16.84] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [03:20.58] |
My love, my love, my love |
| [03:22.39] She keeps me warm [x4] |
|
| [03:33.87] |
|
| [03:34.60][Macklemore] |
|
| [03:35.61] |
We press play |
| [03:36.86] |
Don't press pause |
| [03:37.99] |
Progress, march on! |
| [03:39.30] |
With a veil over our eyes |
| [03:41.04] |
We turn our back on the cause |
| [03:42.48] |
'Till the day |
| [03:43.06] |
That my uncles can be united by law |
| [03:45.32] |
Kids are walkin' around the hallway |
| [03:47.07] |
Plagued by pain in their heart |
| [03:48.56] |
A world so hateful |
| [03:49.42] |
Someone would rather die |
| [03:50.38] |
Than be who they are |
| [03:51.88] |
And a certificate on paper |
| [03:53.06] |
Isn't gonna solve it all |
| [03:54.38] |
But it's a damn good place to start |
| [03:57.00] |
No law's gonna change us |
| [03:59.24] |
We have to change us |
| [04:00.68] |
Whatever god you believe in |
| [04:01.55] |
We come from the same one |
| [04:03.41] |
Strip away the fear |
| [04:04.54] |
Underneath it's all the same love |
| [04:06.35] |
About time that we raised up |
| [04:08.14] |
|
| [04:08.24][Mary Lambert] |
|
| [04:08.34] |
And I can't change |
| [04:09.95] |
|
| [04:13.53] |
Even if I tried |
| [04:16.34] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [04:19.33] |
And I can't change |
| [04:21.83] |
Even if I tried |
| [04:24.64] |
Even if I wanted to |
| [04:28.07] |
My love, my love, my love |
| [04:30.14] She keeps me warm [x4] |
|
| [04:39.89] |
|
| [04:41.00][Mary Lambert] |
|
| [04:42.56] |
Love is patient, love is kind |
| [04:48.05] |
Love is patient (not cryin' on Sundays) |
| [04:50.97]Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) [x5] |
|
| [05:16.62] |
