Same Love (In the Style of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Feat. Mary Lambert)(Vocal Version|In the Style of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Feat. Mary Lambert)
When I was in the 3rd grade
- When I was in the 3rd grade
- I thought that I was gay
- Cause I could draw my uncle was
- And I kept my room straight
- I told my mom tears rushing down my face
- She's like ben you've loved girls since before prek
- Trippin' yeah I guess she had a point didn't she
- A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
- I remember doing the math like
- Yeah I'm good at little league
- A pre conceived idea of what it all meant
- For those who like the same sex had the characteristics
- The right wing conservatives think its a decision
- And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
- Man made rewiring of a predisposition
- Playing god
- Ahh nah here we go
- America the brave
- Still fears what we don't know
- And god loves all his children
- Is somehow forgotten
- But we paraphrase a book written
- 35 hundred years ago
- I don't know
- And I can't change
- Even if I tried
- Even if I wanted to
- And I can't change
- Even if I tried
- Even if I wanted to
- My love my love my love
- She keeps me warm
- She keeps me warm
- She keeps me warm
- She keeps me warm
- If I was gay
- I would think hip-hop hates me
- Have you read the youtube comments lately
- Man that's gay
- Gets dropped on the daily
- We've become so numb to what we're sayin'
- Our culture founded from oppression
- Yeah we don't have acceptance for 'em
- Call each other faggots
- Behind the keys of a message board
- A word routed in hate
- Yet our genre still ignores it
- Gay is synonymous with the lesser
- It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
- Gender and skin color
- Complexion of your pigment
- The same fight that lead people to walk outs and sit ins
- It's human rights for everybody
- There is no difference
- Live on and be yourself
- When I was in church
- They taught me something else
- If you preach hate at the service
- Those words aren't anointed
- And that holy water
- That you soak in
- Is then poisoned
- When everyone else
- Is more comfortable
- Remaining voiceless
- Rather than fighting for humans
- That have had their rights stolen
- I might not be the same
- But that's not important
- No freedom 'til we're equal
- Damn right I support it
- I don't know
- And I can't change
- Even if I tried
- Even if I wanted to
- My love my love my love
- She keeps me warm
- She keeps me warm
- She keeps me warm
- She keeps me warm
- We press play
- Don't press pause
- Progress march on
- With a veil over our eyes
- We turn our back on the cause
- 'Till the day
- That my uncles can be united by law
- Kids are walkin' around the hallway
- Plagued by pain in their heart
- A world so hateful
- Someone would rather die
- Than be who they are
- And a certificate on paper
- Isn't gonna solve it all
- But it's a damn good place to startxx
- No law's gonna change us
- We have to change us
- Whatever god you believe in
- We come from the same one
- Strip away the fear
- Underneath it's all the same love
- About time that we raised up
- And I can't change
- Even if I tried
- Even if I wanted to
- And I can't change
- Even if I tried
- Even if I wanted to
- My love my love my love
- She keeps me warm
- She keeps me warm
- She keeps me warm
- She keeps me warm
- Love is patient love is kind
- Love is patient love is kind
- Not cryin' on sundays
- Love is patient not crying on sundays
- Love is kind not crying on sundays
- Love is patient not crying on sundays
- Love is kind not crying on sundays
- Love is patient not crying on sundays
- Love is kind not crying on sundays
- Love is patient love is kind
