00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,300
When I was in the third grade
I thought that I was gay,
1
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:00,200
'Cause I could draw, my uncle
was, and I kept my room
straight.
2
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,000
I told my mom, tears rushing
down my face
3
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,100
She's like "Ben you've loved
girls since before pre-k,
trippin'."
4
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:08,900
Yeah, I guess she had a point,
didn't she?
5
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:11,300
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
6
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,400
I remember doing the math
like, "Yeah, I'm good at
little league."
7
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,900
A preconceived idea of what it all meant
8
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:18,400
For those that liked the same sex
9
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Had the characteristics
10
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,400
The right wing conservatives
think it's a decision
11
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,300
And you can be cured with some
treatment and religion
12
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:28,100
Man-made rewiring of a predisposition
13
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:31,500
Playing God, aw nah here we go
14
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:34,300
America the brave still fears
what we don't know
15
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,700
And "God loves all his
children" is somehow forgotten
16
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:40,700
But we paraphrase a book
written thirty-five-hundred
years ago
17
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:41,900
I don't know
18
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:47,000
And I can't change
19
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,900
Even if I tried
20
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:53,000
Even if I wanted to
21
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,600
And I can't change
22
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,300
Even if I tried
23
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:02,500
Even if I wanted to
24
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:04,100
My love
25
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:06,700
She keeps me warm
26
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:09,400
She keeps me warm
27
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,300
She keeps me warm
28
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:16,900
She keeps me warm
29
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:19,700
If I was gay, I would think
hip-hop hates me
30
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:22,400
Have you read the YouTube
comments lately?
31
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,000
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped
on the daily
32
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,500
We become so numb to what we're saying
33
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:29,200
A culture founded from oppression
34
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:30,900
Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
35
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:33,500
Call each other faggots behind
the keys of a message board
36
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:36,400
A word rooted in hate, yet our
genre still ignores it
37
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,300
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
38
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:41,800
It's the same hate that's
caused wars from religion
39
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,600
Gender to skin color, the
complexion of your pigment
40
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,300
The same fight that led people
to walk outs and sit ins
41
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:50,000
It's human rights for
everybody, there is no
difference!
42
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,800
Live on and be yourself
43
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,700
When I was at church they
taught me something else
44
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:58,500
If you preach hate at the
service those words aren't
anointed
45
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:01,400
That holy water that you soak
in has been poisoned
46
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,100
When everyone else is more
comfortable remaining
voiceless
47
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:07,000
Rather than fighting for
humans that have had their
rights stolen
48
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,900
I might not be the same, but
that's not important
49
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:18,100
No freedom 'til we're equal,
damn right I support it
50
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,500
(I don't know)
51
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,900
And I can't change
52
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:28,600
Even if I tried
53
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,300
Even if I wanted to
54
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:34,400
My love
55
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,000
She keeps me warm
56
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,800
She keeps me warm
57
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,700
She keeps me warm
58
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:47,800
She keeps me warm
59
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,200
We press play, don't press pause
60
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,600
Progress, march on
61
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,000
With the veil over our eyes
62
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,200
We turn our back on the cause
63
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,200
'Til the day that my uncles
can be united by law
64
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,700
When kids are walking 'round
the hallway plagued by pain in
their heart
65
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,300
A world so hateful some would
rather die than be who they
are
66
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:06,300
And a certificate on paper
