[00:48.923]I told my mom,tears rushing down my face [00:50.624]She's like "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k,trippin'" [00:55.398]Yeah,I guess she had a point,didn't she? [00:57.198]Bunch of stereotypes all in my head. [00:59.450]I remember doing the math like,"Yeah,I'm good at little league" [01:02.751]A preconceived idea of what it all meant [01:05.251]For those that liked the same sex [01:06.851]Had the characteristics [01:07.455]The right wing conservatives think it's a decision [01:10.812]And you can be cured with some treatment and religion [01:13.662]Man-made rewiring of a predisposition [01:16.563]Playing God,aw nah here we go [01:19.609]America the brave still fears what we don't know [01:22.359]And God loves all his children,is somehow forgotten [01:24.511]But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago [01:28.925]I don't know [01:30.325]And I can't change [01:35.600]Even if I tried [01:38.351]Even if I wanted to [01:41.929]And I can't change [01:43.630]Even if I tried [01:46.632]Even if I wanted to [01:50.755]My love [01:51.105]My love [01:51.456]My love [01:52.206]She keeps me warm [01:55.07]She keeps me warm [01:57.858]She keeps me warm [02:00.766]She keeps me warm [02:05.319]If I was gay,I would think hip-hop hates me [02:07.771]Have you read the YouTube comments lately? [02:10.371]"Man,that's gay"gets dropped on the daily [02:13.71]We become so numb to what we're saying [02:14.872]A culture founded from oppression [02:16.875]Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em [02:19.226]Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board [02:21.277]A word rooted in hate,yet our genre still ignores it [02:24.479]Gay is synonymous with the lesser [02:27.727]It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion [02:29.328]Gender to skin color,the complexion of your pigment [02:32.181]The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins [02:35.734]It's human rights for everybody,there is no difference! [02:38.334]Live on and be yourself [02:41.113]When I was at church they taught me something else [02:43.414]If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed [02:46.165]That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned [02:48.915]When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless [02:51.717]Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen [02:55.532]I might not be the same,but that's not important [02:57.736]No freedom till we're equal,damn right I support it [03:07.517](I don't know) [03:11.776]And I can't change [03:14.77]Even if I tried [03:16.980]Even if I wanted to [03:20.581]My love [03:21.532]My love [03:21.882]My love [03:22.433]She keeps me warm [03:25.286]She keeps me warm [03:28.136]She keeps me warm [03:31.136]She keeps me warm [03:36.236]We press play,don't press pause [03:37.841]Progress,march on [03:39.641]With the veil over our eyes [03:41.141]We turn our back on the cause [03:42.542]Till the day that my uncles can be united by law [03:45.293]When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart [03:48.345]A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are [03:51.899]And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all [03:54.598]But it's a damn good place to start [03:56.748]No law is gonna change us [03:59.350]We have to change us [04:00.650]Whatever God you believe in [04:01.750]We come from the same one [04:03.551]Strip away the fear [04:04.501]Underneath it's all the same love [04:06.252]About time that we raised up [04:08.202]And I can't change [04:13.627]Even if I tried [04:16.376]Even if I wanted to [04:19.477]And I can't change [04:22.331]Even if I try [04:24.881]Even if I wanted to [04:28.83]My love [04:29.133]My love [04:29.534]My love [04:29.934]She keeps me warm [04:33.135]She keeps me warm [04:35.894]She keeps me warm [04:38.555]She keeps me warm [04:42.909]Love is patient [04:45.412]Love is kind [04:47.813]Love is patient [04:50.665]Love is kind [04:53.465](not crying on Sundays) [04:54.415]Love is patient [04:56.316](not crying on Sundays) [04:57.116]Love is kind [04:58.467](I'm not crying on Sundays) [04:59.818]Love is patient [05:01.621](not crying on Sundays) [05:02.621]Love is kind [05:04.423](I'm not crying on Sundays) [05:05.474]Love is patient [05:07.525](not crying on Sundays) [05:08.225]Love is kind [05:09.927](I'm not crying on Sundays) [05:10.978]Love is patient [05:13.280]Love is kind
