[00:41.96]When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay
[00:45.90]¡®Cause I could draw, and my uncle was, and I kept my room straight
[00:47.40]I told my mom tears rushing down my face
[00:49.02]She¡¯s like ¡°Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k shrimp¡±
[00:53.90]Trippin¡¯, yeah, I guess she had a point, didn¡¯t she?
[00:56.72]Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
[00:57.78]I remember doing the math like, ¡°yea I¡¯m good at little league¡±
[01:03.72]A preconceived idea of what it all meant
[01:04.91]For those that liked the same sex
[01:05.71]Had the characteristics
[01:06.84]The right wing conservatives think it¡¯s a decision
[01:07.72]And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
[01:08.40]Man made rewiring of a predisposition
[01:09.15]Playing god, aw nah here we go
[01:09.84]America the brave still fears what we don¡¯t know
[01:10.53]And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
[01:11.28]But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
[01:12.60]I don¡¯t know
[01:15.66]And I can¡¯t change
[01:16.22]Even if I tried
[01:16.96]Even if I wanted to
[01:17.59]I can't change
[01:18.28]Even if I try
[01:19.03]Even if I wanted to
[01:19.78]My love
[01:20.47]My love
[01:21.21]My love
[01:21.91]She keeps me warm
[01:22.53]She keeps me warm
[01:23.21]She keeps me warm
[01:24.15]She keeps me warm
[01:24.72]If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
[01:25.35]Have you read the YouTube comments lately
[01:26.09]"Man, that¡¯s gay" gets dropped on the daily
[01:26.78]We become so numb to what we¡¯re saying
[01:27.40]A culture founded from oppression
[01:28.15]Yet we don¡¯t have acceptance for ¡®em
[01:28.84]Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
[01:29.59]A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
[01:30.53]Gay is synonymous with the lesser
[01:32.34]It¡¯s the same hate that¡¯s caused wars from religion
[01:33.15]Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
[01:33.65]The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
[01:34.46]It¡¯s human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
[01:35.22]Live on and be yourself
[01:35.91]When I was at church they taught me something else
[01:36.59]If you preach hate at the service those words aren¡¯t anointed
[01:37.40]That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
[01:38.09]When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
[01:38.78]Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
[01:39.34]I might not be the same, but that¡¯s not important
[01:40.28]No freedom till we¡¯re equal, damn right I support it
[01:40.84]And I can¡¯t change
[01:59.21][01:41.53]Even if I tried
[01:42.21]Even if I wanted to
[01:42.84]My love
[01:43.72]My love
[01:44.41]My love
[01:45.53]She keeps me warm
[01:46.47]She keeps me warm
[01:47.27]She keeps me warm
[01:48.34]She keeps me warm
[01:49.03]We press play, don¡¯t press pause
[01:49.66]Progress, march on
[01:50.71]With the veil over our eyes
[01:51.15]We turn our back on the cause
[01:51.59]Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
[01:52.09]When kids are walking ¡®round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
[01:52.34]A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
[01:52.78]And a certificate on paper isn¡¯t gonna solve it all
[01:53.21]But it¡¯s a damn good place to start
[01:53.66]No law is gonna change us
[01:54.09]We have to change us
[01:54.46]Whatever god we believe in
[01:54.91]We come from the same one
[02:16.97]Strip away the fear
[02:18.40]Underneath it¡¯s all the same love
[02:19.15]About time that we raised up
[02:19.84]And I can¡¯t change
[02:20.40]Even if I tried
[02:21.21]Even if I wanted to
[02:21.90]I can't change
[02:22.52]Even if I try
[02:23.34]Even if I wanted to
[02:23.90]My love
[02:24.34]My love
[02:24.96]My love
[02:25.71]She keeps me warm
[02:26.46]She keeps me warm
[02:27.46]She keeps me warm
[02:28.22]She keeps me warm
[02:28.84]Love is patient
[02:29.59]Love is kind
