[00:14.49]'Cause I could draw my uncle was [00:15.92]And I kept my room straight [00:17.00]I told my mom tears rushing down my face [00:19.93]She's like Ben you've loved girls [00:21.12]Since before pre-K [00:22.30] [00:22.86]Tripping yeah I guess she had a point didn't she [00:25.82]A bunch of stereotypes all in my head [00:28.13] [00:28.83]I remember doing the math like [00:30.22]Yeah I'm good at little league [00:31.39]A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant [00:33.98]For those who like the same sex had [00:35.66]The characteristics [00:37.11]The right-wing conservatives think its a decision [00:39.41]And you can be cured with some treatment and religion [00:42.67]Man-made rewiring of a predisposition [00:44.99]Playing God [00:45.67] [00:47.19]Ahh nah here we go [00:48.75]America the brave [00:49.42]Still fears what we don't know [00:51.55]And God loves all His children [00:52.46]Is somehow forgotten [00:53.74]But we paraphrase a book written [00:55.31]35 hundred years ago [00:56.40] [00:57.49]I don't know [00:58.12] [00:58.91]And I can't change [01:00.30] [01:04.29]Even if I tried [01:06.45] [01:07.10]Even if I wanted to [01:08.97] [01:10.32]And I can't change [01:12.09] [01:12.74]Even if I tried [01:14.09] [01:15.55]Even if I wanted to [01:17.20] [01:18.96]My love my love my love [01:21.12]She keeps me warm [01:22.38] [01:23.84]She keeps me warm [01:25.23] [01:26.44]She keeps me warm [01:28.66] [01:29.53]She keeps me warm [01:31.46] [01:34.08]If I was gay [01:34.72]I would think hip-hop hates me [01:36.66]Have you read the YouTube comments lately [01:39.37]Man that's gay [01:40.74]Gets dropped on the daily [01:42.13]We've become so numb to what we're saying [01:44.52]Our culture founded from oppression [01:46.23]Yeah we don't have acceptance for 'em [01:47.76]Call each other faggots [01:48.65]Behind the keys of a message board [01:50.85]A word routed in hate [01:51.85]Yet our genre still ignores it [01:53.15]Gay is synonymous with the lesser [01:55.21] [01:56.32]It's the same hate that's [01:57.16]Caused wars from religion [01:58.38] [01:58.99]Gender and skin color [02:00.12]Complexion of your pigment [02:01.31]The same fight that lead people [02:03.56]To walk-outs and sit-ins [02:04.82]It's human rights for everybody [02:05.70]There is no difference [02:06.65] [02:07.29]Live on And be yourself [02:09.30] [02:09.96]When I was in church [02:10.69]They taught me something else [02:12.41]If you preach hate at the service [02:14.67]Those words aren't anointed [02:16.14]And that holy water [02:17.07]That you soak in [02:18.12]Is then poisoned [02:18.70]When everyone else [02:19.24]Is more comfortable [02:19.86]Remaining voiceless [02:20.59]Rather than fighting for humans [02:22.07]That have had their rights stolen [02:24.42]I might not be the same [02:26.13]But that's not important [02:27.48]No freedom until we're equal [02:28.31]Damn right I support it [02:29.84] [02:40.47]And I can't change [02:41.96]

eyes [03:09.89]We turn our back on the 'cause [03:11.71]Till the day [03:12.21]That my uncles can be united by law [03:13.83]Kids are walking around the hallway [03:15.92]Plagued by pain in their heart [03:17.10]A world so hateful [03:17.93]Someone would rather die [03:19.22]Than be who they are [03:20.51]And a certificate on paper [03:22.25]Isn't gonna solve it all [03:23.55]But it's a damn good place to start [03:25.18] [03:26.81]No law's gonna change us [03:27.89] [03:28.40]We have to change us [03:29.83]Whatever god you believe in [03:31.20]We come from the same one [03:32.34]Strip
