Tekst piosenki:
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, trippin'!"
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
For those that liked the same sex
Had 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, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
And "God loves all his children"
Is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book
Written thirty-five-hundred years ago
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
Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other faggots
Behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate
Yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous 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 walk outs 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
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
When everyone else
Is more comfortable remaining 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 'til 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
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
'Til the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids are walking 'round 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 is 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... sex
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
(not cryin’ on Sundays)
Love is patient, love is kind
(not cryin' on Sundays)
Love is patient, love is kind
(not cryin’ on Sundays)
Love is patient, love is kind
(not cryin' on Sundays)
Love is patient, love is kind
