WHEN I WAS IN THE THIRD 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 RUSHIN' DOWN MY FACE
SHE'S LIKE, BEN
YOU'VE LOVED GIRLS
SINCE BEFORE PRE-K, TRIPPIN'
YEAH, I GUESS
SHE HAD A POINT, DIDN'T SHE
BUNCH OF STEREOTYPES
ALL IN MY HEAD
I REMEMBER DOIN' THE MATH
LIKE, YEAH
I'M GOOD AT LITTLE LEAGUE
A PRECONCEIVED IDEA
OF WHAT IT ALL MEANT
FOR THOSE THAT
LIKED THE SAME SEX
HAD THE CHARACTERISTICS
THE RIGHT WING CONSERVATIVES
THINK IT'S A DECISION
AND YOU CAN BE CURED
WITH SOME
TREATMENT AND RELIGION
MAN-MADE REWIRIN'
OF A PREDISPOSITION
PLAYIN' GOD
AWW, NO, 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 THIRTY-FIVE
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
AND 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 BECOME SO NUMB
TO WHAT WE'RE SAYIN'
A CULTURE
FOUNDED FROM OPPRESSION
YET WE DON'T HAVE
ACCEPTANCE FOR 'EM
CALL EACH OTHER FAGGOTS
BEHIND THE KEYS
OF A MESSAGE BOARD
A WORD ROOTED IN HATE
YET OUR GENRE STILL IGNORES IT
AND GAY IS SYNONYMOUS
WITH THE LESSER
IT'S THE SAME HATE THAT'S
CAUSED WARS FROM RELIGION
GENDER TO SKIN COLOUR
THE COMPLEXION
OF YOUR PIGMENT
THE SAME FIGHT
THAT LED 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 AT CHURCH
THEY TAUGHT ME SOMETHIN' ELSE
IF YOU PREACH
HATE AT THE SERVICE
THOSE WORDS AREN'T ANOINTED
THAT HOLY WATER
THAT YOU SOAK IN
HAS BEEN POISONED
WHEN EVERYONE ELSE
IS MORE COMFORTABLE
REMAININ' VOICELESS
RATHER THAN FIGHTIN'
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
AND 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
AND SHE KEEPS ME WARM
SHE KEEPS ME WARM
WE PRESS PLAY
DON'T PRESS PAUSE
PROGRESS, MARCH ON
WITH THE VEIL OVER OUR EYES
WE TURN OUR
BACK ON THE CAUSE
'TIL THE DAY THAT MY UNCLES
CAN BE UNITED BY LAW
WHEN KIDS ARE WALKIN'
'ROUND THE HALLWAY
PLAGUED BY PAIN IN THEIR HEART
A WORLD SO HATEFUL
SOME 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 START
NO LAW IS 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
SEX
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
AND SHE KEEPS ME WARM
SHE KEEPS ME WARM
NOT CRYIN' ON SUNDAYS
NOT CRYIN' ON SUNDAYS
I'M NOT CRYIN' ON SUNDAYS
NOT CRYIN' ON SUNDAYS
NOT CRYIN' ON SUNDAYS
NOT CRYIN' ON SUNDAYS
I'M NOT CRYIN' ON SUNDAYS
