[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 |
