LYRICS:
[Piano Intro]

[Verse 1: Macklemore]
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 pre-K"
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 a 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 pre-disposition
Playing God
Ahh nah, here we go
America the brave
Still beers, what, we don't know
And God loves all His children
And somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written
3,500 hundred years ago
I don't know

[Hook: Mary Lambert]
iDrenn
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 [x4]

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
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 anonymous with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender and skin color
Collection of your pigment
The same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins
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
[Trumpet]
I don't know

[Hook: Mary Lambert]
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 [x4]

[Verse 3: Macklemore]
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 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 start
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

[Hook: Mary Lambert]
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 [x4]

[Outro: Mary Lambert]
Love is patient, love is kind

Love is patient (not cryin' on Sundays)
Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) [x5]

I like Mackelmore because he's cares about other things besides sex and money. This is a sad world. Actually more of a sad generation. How did it get like this?

[TheReeka3]

I think you're trying a bit too hard.

[FionaBlood]

Is hating on the gays and saying God will burn them right? No, but there is a thing called free speech, something you used to express your opinion and others have the right to use to express theirs.

[FionaBlood]

I'm not saying it is right, making people feel like crap is never right. I should know I had the crap kicked out of me just cuz I had glasses and short hair and I lived in a small town of rednecks. Yet you got on and took the idea of free speech and religion and threw it into other peoples faces. They are ideas and ways of life to other people just as being gay is, and they are really important to some.

[soulsniper18]

I agree



[soulsniper18]

I think gay marriage should be legalized. who cares if you're gay

[thespyisaspy]

no one here should be pretending you're superior to someone who is anti-gay.(I'm indifferent btw.) look in the mirror. listen to your own words. are you any less hateful towards them than they are against gays? you call others ignorant when you yourself are just as ignorant, (if not more) for thinking you're better. I know this will probably be flagged as spam almost instantly, and theres no point in even trying to convince other people they're wrong criticize others. i thought i'd atleaset try.

[Cassandra Schuster]

This song inspires me to have pride in my self

[David Li]

Your presence on this Earth is a disease

[Amber Baby]

This song has a strong message to it. And its about damn time somebody realizes the music industry is more than rapping and writing songs about getting sex, money, and cars.
