starbright Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Truly inspirational song for a brand new lunar year! When I was in the 3rd gradeI thought that I was gayCause I could draw, my uncle wasAnd I kept my room straightI told my mom, tears rushing down my faceShe's like, "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-K"Trippin', yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't sheA bunch of stereotypes all in my headI remember doing the math like"Yeah, I'm good at little league"A pre-conceived idea of what it all meantFor those who like the same sex had the characteristicsThe right-wing conservatives think its a decisionAnd you can be cured with some treatment and religionMan-made, rewiring of a pre-dispositionPlaying GodAhh nah, here we goAmerica the braveStill fear what we don't knowAnd God loves all His childrenAnd somehow forgottenBut we paraphrase a book written3,500 hundred years agoI don't knowAnd I can't changeEven if I triedEven if I wanted toAnd I can't changeEven if I triedEven if I wanted toMy love, my love, my loveShe keeps me warm [x4]If I was gayI would think hip-hop hates meHave you read the YouTube comments lately"Man that's gay" Gets dropped on the dailyWe've become so numb to what we're sayin'Our culture founded from oppressionYeah, we don't have acceptance for 'emCall each other faggotsBehind the keys of a message boardA word routed in hateYet our genre still ignores itGay is anonymous with the lesserIt's the same hatethat's caused wars from religionGender and skin colorComplexion of your pigmentThe same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-insHuman rights for everybodyThere is no differenceLive on! And be yourself!When I was in churchThey taught me something elseIf you preach hate at the serviceThose words aren't anointedAnd that Holy Water That you soak inIs then poisonedWhen everyone else Is more comfortableRemaining voicelessRather than fighting for humansThat have had their rights stolenI might not be the sameBut that's not importantNo freedom 'til we're equalDamn right I support itI don't knowWe press playDon't press pauseProgress, march on!With a veil over our eyesWe turn our back on the cause 'Till the day That my uncles can united by lawKids are walkin' around the hallwayPlagued by pain in their heartA world so hatefulSomeone would rather dieThan be who they areAnd a certificate on paper Isn't gonna solve it allBut it's a damn good place to startNo law's gonna change usWe have to change usWhatever god you believe inWe come from the same oneStrip away the fearUnderneath it's all the same loveAbout time that we raised upLove is patient,love is kindLove is patient (not cryin' on Sundays)Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) [x5] Edited February 18, 2013 by starbright blueb and jlin71 2 Heal the Past, Live the Present, Dream the Future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
