When I was in the third grade, I thought that I was gay Cause I could draw who my uncle
was and I kept my room straight I told my mom, tears rushing down my face
She's like, been you've loved girl since before pre-k
Sure
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?
Bunch of stereotypes, all in my head I remember doing the math, like yeah
I'm good at little league, a preconceived idea of what it all meant
But those that like the same sex, have the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives, think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made rewiring of a predisposition playing God
Oh nah, here we go, America the brave, still fears what we don't know
And God loves all His children, it's somehow forgotten But we paraphrase a book written
3500 years ago
But if I, I don't know
And I can't change
Even if I tried, even if I wanted to And I can't change
Even if I tried, even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love, she keeps me warm
She keeps me warm, she keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
Man, that's gay, gets dropped on the daily
We become so numb to what we're saying
A culture founded from oppression
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for them
Call each other faggots, behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
Gayest amount of myths with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walkouts and sit-ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference
Live on and be yourself
When I was at church, they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service, those words aren't anointed
At holy water that you soak in is then poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable, remain in voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same, but that's not important
No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it
I don't know
And I can't change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love, she keeps me warm
She keeps me warm, warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
We press play, don't press pause
Progress march on, with the veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids don't walk around the hallway
Played by pain in their heart
A world so hateful, some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law's gonna change us, we have to change us
Whatever guy you believe in, we come from the same one
Strip away the beer, underneath it's all the same love
About time that we raised up
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love, she keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is kind
Love is kind
Love is kind
Love is kind
Love is kind
