When I was in the third grade, I thought that I was gay, cause I could draw, my uncle was
and I kept my room straight, I told my mom, tears rushing down my face, she's like Ben
you've loved girls since before pre-k, true, 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, thinkin' to decision, and you can be cured
with some treatment and religion, man made rewiring up a pre-disposition, playin' God,
oh nah, here we go, America the brave, still beers what we don't know, and God loves all
his children, it's somehow forgotten, but we paraphrase a book written 3,500 years ago,
but 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
on, she keeps me on, she keeps me on, she keeps me on
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me, have you read the YouTube comments lately?
Man, that's gay, it 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 form, call each other faggots
behind the keys of a message board, a word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores
it, gayest anonymous with the lesser, it's the same hate that's caused wars from religion,
gendered skin color, the complexion of your pigment, the same fight that led people to
walk out and sit in to 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, that holy water that you soak in is then poisoned, when everyone
else is more comfortable, remain invoiceless, rather than fighting for humans that have
had the rights stolen, I might not be the same, but that's not important, no freedom
until we're equal, damn right I support it, I don't know
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, we press play, don't press pause, progress march on, with
the veil over our eyes, we turn our back on the cars, till the day that my uncles can
be united by law, when kids don't walk around the hallway, plagued 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 god you believe in, we come from the same one, strip
away the fear, underneath it's all the same love, about time that we raised up, sent
us to be united by law, when kids don't walk around the hallway, plagued 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 god you believe in, we come from the same one,
strip away the fear, underneath it's all the same love, about time that we raised up, sent
us to be united by law, when kids don't walk around the hallway, plagued by pain in their
heart, a world so hateful, some would rather die than be who they are, and a certificate
