Same Love - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

[00:42.280]When I was in the third grade
[00:44.160]I thought that I was gay
[00:45.910]Cause I could draw, and my uncle was,and I kept my room straight
[00:47.740]I told my mom tears rushing down my face
[00:51.460]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 ***
[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,
[02:23.050]yet our genre still ignores it Gay is synonymous with the lesser
[02:26.460]It’s the same hate that’s caused wars from religion
[02:30.170]Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
[02:33.000]The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
[02:40.090]and be yourself
[02:41.530]When I was at church
[02:42.420]they taught me something else
[02:43.670]If you preach hate at the service
[02:45.360]those words aren ’t anointed
[02:46.960]That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
[02:49.740]When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
[02:52.540]Rather than fighting for humans
[02:54.060]that have had their rights stolen
[02:55.490]I might not be the same,
[02:56.800]but that’s not important
[02:58.560]No freedom till we’re equal,
[02:59.770]damn right I support it
[03:11.800]And I can’t change
[03:14.420]Even if I tried
[03:16.860]Even if I wanted to
[03:20.440]My love My love My love
[03:22.450]She keeps me warm
[03:25.070]She keeps me warm
[03:27.800]She keeps me warm
[03:30.800]She keeps me warm
[03:35.840]We press play,
[03:36.880]don’t press pause
[03:38.450]Progress, march on
[03:39.580]With the veil over our eyes
[03:41.140]We turn our back on the cause Till the day
[03:43.300]that my uncles can be united by law
[03:45.370]When kids are walking ‘round the hallway
[03:47.070]plagued by pain in their heart
[03:48.610]A world so hateful
[03:49.890]some would rather die than be who they are
[03:51.670]And a certificate on paper
[03:52.940]isn’t gonna solve it all
[03:54.440]But it’s a damn good place to start
[03:57.490]No law is gonna change us
[03:59.370]We have to change us
[04:00.640]Whatever god we believe in
[04:01.770]We come from the same one
[04:03.350]Strip away the fear
[04:04.300]Underneath it’s all the same love
[04:06.370]About time that we raised up
[04:08.340]And I can’t change
[04:13.290]Even if I tried
[04:16.040]Even if I wanted to
[04:19.330]I can't change
[04:21.870]Even if I try
[04:24.610]Even if I wanted to
[04:28.440]My love My love My love
[04:30.180]She keeps me warm
[04:32.790]She keeps me warm
[04:35.490]She keeps me warm
[04:38.370]She keeps me warm
