[00:42.880]When I was in the third grade
[00:44.760]I thought that I was gay
[00:46.510]Cause I could draw, and my uncle was,and I kept my room straight
[00:48.340]I told my mom tears rushing down my face
[00:52.060]She’s like “Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k shrimp”
[00:54.840]Trippin’, yeah, I guess she had a point, didn’t she?
[00:58.540]Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
[01:00.570]I remember doing the math like,“yea
[01:01.410]I’m good at little league”
[01:03.260]A preconceived idea of what it all meant For those that liked the same sex
[01:07.460]Had the characteristics
[01:08.750]The right wing conservatives think it’s a decision
[01:12.050]And you can be cured with some treatment
[01:14.690]and religion Man made rewiring of a predisposition Playing god,
[01:19.260]aw nah here we go America the brave still fears what we don’t know
[01:23.340]And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
[01:25.660]But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
[01:28.770]I don’t know
[01:31.460]And I can’t change
[01:36.530]Even if I tried
[01:39.090]Even if I wanted to
[01:42.540]I can't change
[01:45.100]Even if I try
[01:47.700]Even if I wanted to
[01:51.510]My love My love My love
[01:53.060]She keeps me warm
[01:55.850]She keeps me warm
[01:58.710]She keeps me warm
[02:01.550]She keeps me warm
[02:04.370]If I was gay,
[02:06.400]I would think hip-hop hates me
[02:08.310]Have you read the YouTube comments lately
[02:11.190]"Man, that’s gay" gets dropped on the daily
[02:13.610]We become so numb to what we’re saying
[02:15.900]A culture founded from oppression
[02:17.860]Yet we don’t have acceptance for
[02:19.550]‘em Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
[02:22.320]A word rooted in hate,
[02:23.650]yet our genre still ignores it Gay is synonymous with the lesser
[02:27.060]It’s the same hate that’s caused wars from religion
[02:30.770]Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
[02:33.600]The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
[02:40.690]and be yourself
[02:42.130]When I was at church
[02:43.020]they taught me something else
[02:44.270]If you preach hate at the service
[02:45.960]those words aren ’t anointed
[02:47.560]That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
[02:50.340]When everyone  else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
[02:53.140]Rather than fighting for humans
[02:54.660]that  have had their rights stolen
[02:56.090]I might not be the same,
[02:57.400]but that’s not important
[02:59.160]No freedom till we’re equal,
[03:00.370]damn right I support it
[03:12.400]And I can’t change
[03:15.020]Even if I tried
[03:17.460]Even if I wanted to
[03:21.040]My love My love My love
[03:23.050]She keeps me warm
[03:25.670]She keeps me warm
[03:28.400]She keeps me warm
[03:31.400]She keeps me warm
[03:36.440]We press play,
[03:37.480]don’t press pause
[03:39.050]Progress, march on
[03:40.180]With the veil over our eyes
[03:41.740]We turn our back on the cause Till the day
[03:43.900]that my  uncles can be united by law
[03:45.970]When kids are walking ‘round the hallway
[03:47.670]plagued by  pain in their heart
[03:49.210]A world so hateful
[03:50.490]some would rather die than be who they are
[03:52.270]And a certificate on paper
[03:53.540]isn’t gonna solve it all
[03:55.040]But it’s a damn good place  to start
[03:58.090]No law is gonna change us
[03:59.970]We have to change us
[04:01.240]Whatever god we believe  in
[04:02.370]We come from the same one
[04:03.950]Strip away the fear
[04:04.900]Underneath it’s all the same  love
[04:06.970]About time that we raised up
[04:08.940]And I can’t change
[04:13.890]Even if I tried
[04:16.640]Even if I  wanted to
[04:19.930]I can't change
[04:22.470]Even if I try
[04:25.210]Even if I wanted to
[04:29.040]My love My love My  love
[04:30.780]She keeps me warm
[04:33.390]She keeps me warm
[04:36.090]She keeps me warm
[04:38.970]She keeps me warm
[04:43.460]Love  is patient
