[00:42.22]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]
