“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 rushing 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 doing the math like yeah in good a little league a preconceived idea of what it all meant. For those who liked the same sex, had the characteristics, the right wing conservatives thinks its a decision and you can be cured with some treatment and religion. Man-made rewiring of a predisposition. Playing god, aw nah here we go. America the brave still fears what we don't know and flood 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, she keeps me warm, she keeps me warm. If I was gay, I would think hiphop 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 saying. A culture founded for 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. Gay synonymous with the lesser. Its the same hate that's caused wars from religion. Gender to skin colour, the complexion of your pigment. The same love that's Leeds people to walk outs and sit ins. Its human rights foe everybody, there is not difference. LIVE ON AND BE YOURSELF. When I was at church they taught me something else. Off 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 remaining vocieless, rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen. I might be the same, but that's not important. No freedom til we're equal, damn right I sports 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 the veil over our eyes. We turn our backs on the cause, til the day that my uncles can be united by law. When kids are walking 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 its a damn good place to start. No law is gonna change us, whatever god you believe in, we all come from the same one. Strip away the fear underneath its all the same love. About time we raised up. Sex. And I can't change, even if 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. ….I HAVE GAY PRIDE AND IM NOT AFRAID TO SHOW IT…”
