[00:54.80]When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay,
[00:57.50]'Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight.
[01:00.40]I told my mom, tears rushing down my face
[01:03.20]She's like "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k, trippin'."
[01:07.30]Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?
[01:09.10]Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
[01:11.50]I remember doing the math like, "Yeah, I'm good at little league."
[01:14.60]A preconceived idea of what it all meant
[01:17.10]For those that liked the same sex
[01:18.60]Had the characteristics
[01:20.00]The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
[01:22.60]And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
[01:25.50]Man-made rewiring of a predisposition
[01:28.30]Playing God, aw nah here we go
[01:31.70]America the brave still fears what we don't know
[01:34.50]And "God loves all his children" is somehow forgotten
[01:36.90]But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
[01:40.90]I don't know
[01:42.10]And I can't change
[01:47.20]Even if I tried
[01:50.10]Even if I wanted to
[01:53.20]And I can't change
[01:55.80]Even if I tried
[01:58.50]Even if I wanted to
[02:02.70]My love
[02:04.30]She keeps me warm
[02:06.90]She keeps me warm
[02:09.60]She keeps me warm
[02:12.50]She keeps me warm
[02:17.10]If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
[02:19.90]Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
[02:22.60]"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily
[02:25.20]We become so numb to what we're saying
[02:27.70]A culture founded from oppression
[02:29.40]Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
[02:31.10]Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
[02:33.70]A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
[02:36.60]Gay is synonymous with the lesser
[02:39.50]It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
[02:42.00]Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
[02:44.80]The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
[02:47.50]It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
[02:50.20]Live on and be yourself
[02:53.00]When I was at church they taught me something else
[02:55.90]If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed
[02:58.70]That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
[03:01.60]When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
[03:04.30]Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
[03:07.20]I might not be the same, but that's not important
[03:10.10]No freedom 'til we're equal, damn right I support it
[03:19.80](I don't know)
[03:23.70]And I can't change
[03:26.10]Even if I tried
[03:28.80]Even if I wanted to
[03:32.50]My love
[03:34.60]She keeps me warm
[03:37.20]She keeps me warm
[03:40.00]She keeps me warm
[03:42.90]She keeps me warm
[03:48.00]We press play, don't press pause
[03:50.40]Progress, march on
[03:51.80]With the veil over our eyes
[03:53.20]We turn our back on the cause
[03:54.40]'Til the day that my uncles can be united by law
[03:57.40]When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
