Lyrics

[00:42.880] When I was in the third grade
[00:44.760] I thought that I was gay
[00:46.510] Cause I could draw, and my uncle was,and I kept my room straight
[00:48.340] I told my mom tears rushing down my face
[00:52.060] She’s like “Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k shrimp”
[00:54.240] Trippin’, yeah, I guess she had a point, didn’t she?
[00:57.940] Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
[00:59.970] I remember doing the math like,“yea
[01:00.810] I’m good at little league”
[01:02.660] A preconceived idea of what it all meant For those that liked the same sex
[01:06.860] Had the characteristics
[01:08.150] The right wing conservatives think it’s a decision
[01:11.450] And you can be cured with some treatment
[01:14.090] and religion Man made rewiring of a predisposition Playing god,
[01:18.660] aw nah here we go America the brave still fears what we don’t know
[01:22.740] And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
[01:25.060] But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
[01:28.170] I don’t know
[01:30.860] And I can’t change
[01:35.930] Even if I tried
[01:38.490] Even if I wanted to
[01:41.940] I can't change
[01:44.500] Even if I try
[01:47.100] Even if I wanted to
[01:50.910] My love My love My love
[01:52.460] She keeps me warm
[01:55.250] She keeps me warm
[01:58.110] She keeps me warm
[02:00.950] She keeps me warm
[02:03.770] If I was gay,
[02:05.800] I would think hip-hop hates me
[02:07.710] Have you read the YouTube comments lately
[02:10.590] "Man, that’s gay" gets dropped on the daily
[02:13.010] We become so numb to what we’re saying
[02:15.300] A culture founded from oppression
[02:17.260] Yet we don’t have acceptance for
[02:18.950] ‘em Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
[02:21.720] A word rooted in hate,
[02:23.950] yet our genre still ignores it Gay is synonymous with the lesser
[02:27.960] It’s the same hate that’s caused wars from religion
[02:31.670] Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
[02:34.500] The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
[02:41.590] and be yourself
[02:43.030] When I was at church
[02:43.920] they taught me something else
[02:45.170] If you preach hate at the service
[02:46.860] those words aren ’t anointed
[02:48.460] That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
[02:51.240] When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
[02:54.040] Rather than fighting for humans
[02:55.560] that have had their rights stolen
[02:56.990] I might not be the same,
[02:58.300] but that’s not important
[03:00.060] No freedom till we’re equal,
[03:01.270] damn right I support it
[03:13.300] And I can’t change
[03:15.920] Even if I tried
[03:18.360] Even if I wanted to
[03:21.940] My love My love My love
[03:23.950] She keeps me warm
[03:26.570] She keeps me warm
[03:29.300] She keeps me warm
[03:32.300] She keeps me warm
[03:37.340] We press play,
[03:38.380] don’t press pause
[03:39.950] Progress, march on
[03:41.080] With the veil over our eyes
[03:42.640] We turn our back on the cause Till the day
[03:44.800] that my uncles can be united by law
[03:46.870] When kids are walking ‘round the hallway
[03:48.570] plagued by pain in their heart
[03:50.110] A world so hateful
[03:51.390] some would rather die than be who they are
[03:53.170] And a certificate on paper
[03:54.440] isn’t gonna solve it all
[03:55.940] But it’s a damn good place to start
[03:58.990] No law is gonna change us
[04:00.870] We have to change us
[04:02.140] Whatever god we believe in
[04:03.270] We come from the same one
[04:04.850] Strip away the fear
[04:05.800] Underneath it’s all the same love
[04:07.870] About time that we raised up
[04:09.840] And I can’t change
[04:14.790] Even if I tried
[04:17.540] Even if I wanted to
[04:20.830] I can't change
[04:23.370] Even if I try
[04:26.110] Even if I wanted to
[04:29.940] My love My love My love
[04:31.680] She keeps me warm
[04:34.290] She keeps me warm
[04:36.990] She keeps me warm
[04:39.870] She keeps me warm
[04:44.360] Love is patient
