Same Love (feat. Mary Lambert) Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, Mary Lambert

[00:43.32] When I was in the third grade, I thought that I was gay [00:45.75] 'Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight [00:48.66] I told my mom, tears rushing down my face [00:50.91] She's like, "Ben, you've loved girls since before Pre-K!" [00:54.15] Trippin', yeah I guess she had a point, didn't she? [00:57.05] A bunch of stereotypes all in my head [00:59.73] I remember doing the math like, "Yeah, I'm good at little league." [01:02.68] A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant [01:05.24] For those that like the same sex had the characteristics [01:08.19] The right-wing conservatives think it's a decision [01:10.83] And you can be cured with some treatment and religion [01:13.74] Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition [01:16.68] Playing God, aw nah, here we go [01:19.75] America the brave still fears what we don't know [01:22.43] And "God loves all his children" is somehow forgotten [01:25.03] But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five hundred years ago [01:27.98] I don't know [01:30.35] And I can't change, even if I tried [01:37.75] Even if I wanted to [01:40.97] And I can't change, even if I tried [01:46.42] Even if I wanted to [01:49.61] My love, my love, my love [01:52.21] She keeps me warm [01:54.64] She keeps me warm [01:57.56] She keeps me warm [02:00.72] She keeps me warm [02:03.12] If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me [02:07.53] Have you read the YouTube comments lately? [02:10.21] "Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily [02:13.18] We've become so numb to what we're sayin' [02:15.52] Our culture founded from oppression [02:17.33] Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em [02:19.24] Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board [02:21.68] A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it [02:24.75] "Gay" is synonymous with the lesser [02:26.69] It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion [02:30.04] Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment [02:32.69] The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins [02:35.37] It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference [02:38.28] Live on and be yourself [02:40.58] When I was at church they taught me something else [02:43.50] If you preach hate at the service, those words aren't anointed [02:46.93] That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned [02:49.67] When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless [02:52.46] Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen [02:55.46] I might not be the same, but that's not important [02:58.21] No freedom 'til we're equal, damn right I support it [03:01.24] And I can't change, even if I tried [03:08.69] [03:16.52] Even if I wanted to [03:19.97] My love, my love, my love [03:22.31] She keeps me warm [03:24.95] She keeps me warm [03:27.88] She keeps me warm [03:30.73] She keeps me warm [03:33.49] We press play, don't press pause: progress, march on! [03:39.75] With a veil over our eyes, we turn our back on the cause [03:42.66] 'Til the day that my uncles can be united by law [03:45.51] Kids are walking 'round the hallway [03:47.18] Plagued by a pain in their heart [03:48.77] A world so hateful, some would rather die than be who they are [03:51.49] And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all [03:54.21] But it's a damn good place to start [03:56.60] No law's gonna change us, we have to change us [04:00.32] Whatever god you believe in, we come from the same one [04:03.39] Strip away the fear, underneath it's all the same love [04:06.16] About time that we raised up! [04:08.52] And I can't change, even if I tried [04:15.93] Even if I wanted to [04:18.85] And I can't change, even if I tried [04:24.30] Even if I wanted to [04:27.51] My love, my love, my love [04:30.14] She keeps me warm [04:32.80] She keeps me warm [04:35.44] She keeps me warm [04:38.62] She keeps me warm [04:41.57] Love is patient [04:45.21] Love is kind [04:48.13] Love is patient [04:51.03] Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) [04:53.63] Love is patient (not crying on Sundays) [04:56.81] Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) [04:59.24] Love is patient (not crying on Sundays) [05:01.98] Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) [05:04.70] Love is patient (not crying on Sundays) [05:07.79] Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) [05:10.59] Love is patient [05:13.55] Love is kind [05:15.04]
