Same Love - Slacker Nation[00:00:00]
When I was in the 3rd grade[00:00:11]
I thought that I was gay[00:00:12]
'Cause I could draw my uncle was[00:00:14]
And I kept my room straight[00:00:15]
I told my mom tears rushing down my face[00:00:17]
She's like Ben you've loved girls[00:00:19]
Since before pre-K[00:00:21]
Tripping yeah I guess she had a point didn't she[00:00:22]
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head[00:00:25]
I remember doing the math like[00:00:28]
Yeah I'm good at little league[00:00:30]
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant[00:00:31]
For those who like the same sex had [00:00:33]
The characteristics[00:00:35]
The right-wing conservatives think its a decision[00:00:37]
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion[00:00:39]
Man-made rewiring of a predisposition[00:00:42]
Playing God[00:00:44]
Ahh nah here we go[00:00:47]
America the brave[00:00:48]
Still fears what we don't know[00:00:49]
And God loves all His children[00:00:51]
Is somehow forgotten[00:00:52]
But we paraphrase a book written[00:00:53]
35 hundred years ago[00:00:55]
I don't know[00:00:57]
And I can't change[00:00:58]
Even if I tried[00:01:04]
Even if I wanted to[00:01:07]
And I can't change[00:01:10]
Even if I tried[00:01:12]
Even if I wanted to[00:01:15]
My love my love my love[00:01:18]
She keeps me warm[00:01:21]
She keeps me warm[00:01:23]
She keeps me warm[00:01:26]
She keeps me warm[00:01:29]
If I was gay[00:01:34]
I would think hip-hop hates me[00:01:34]
Have you read the YouTube comments lately[00:01:36]
Man that's gay[00:01:39]
Gets dropped on the daily[00:01:40]
We've become so numb to what we're saying[00:01:42]
Our culture founded from oppression[00:01:44]
Yeah we don't have acceptance for 'em[00:01:46]
Call each other faggots[00:01:47]
Behind the keys of a message board[00:01:48]
A word routed in hate[00:01:50]
Yet our genre still ignores it[00:01:51]
Gay is synonymous with the lesser[00:01:53]
It's the same hate that's[00:01:56]
Caused wars from religion[00:01:57]
Gender and skin color[00:01:58]
Complexion of your pigment[00:02:00]
The same fight that lead people[00:02:01]
To walk-outs and sit-ins[00:02:03]
It's human rights for everybody[00:02:04]
There is no difference[00:02:05]
Live on And be yourself[00:02:07]
When I was in church[00:02:09]
They taught me something else[00:02:10]
If you preach hate at the service[00:02:12]
Those words aren't anointed[00:02:14]
And that holy water[00:02:16]
That you soak in[00:02:17]
Is then poisoned[00:02:18]
When everyone else[00:02:18]
Is more comfortable[00:02:19]
Remaining voiceless[00:02:19]
Rather than fighting for humans[00:02:20]
That have had their rights stolen[00:02:22]
I might not be the same[00:02:24]
But that's not important[00:02:26]
No freedom until we're equal[00:02:27]
Damn right I support it[00:02:28]
And I can't change[00:02:40]
Even if I tried[00:02:43]
Even if I wanted to[00:02:45]
My love my love my love[00:02:49]
She keeps me warm[00:02:51]
She keeps me warm[00:02:54]
She keeps me warm[00:02:56]
She keeps me warm[00:02:59]
We press play[00:03:05]
Don't press pause[00:03:06]
Progress march on[00:03:07]
With a veil over our eyes[00:03:08]
We turn our back on the 'cause[00:03:09]
Till the day[00:03:11]
That my uncles can be united by law[00:03:12]
Kids are walking around the hallway[00:03:13]
Plagued by pain in their heart[00:03:15]
A world so hateful[00:03:17]
Someone would rather die[00:03:17]
Than be who they are[00:03:19]
And a certificate on paper[00:03:20]
Isn't gonna solve it all[00:03:22]
But it's a damn good place to start[00:03:23]
No law's gonna change us[00:03:26]
We have to change us[00:03:28]
Whatever god you believe in[00:03:29]
We come from the same one[00:03:31]
Strip away the fear[00:03:32]
Underneath it's all the same love[00:03:33]
About time that we raised up[00:03:34]
And I can't change[00:03:37]
Even if I tried[00:03:42]
Even if I wanted to[00:03:45]
And I can't change[00:03:48]
Even if I tried[00:03:50]
Even if I wanted to[00:03:53]
My love my love my love[00:03:57]
She keeps me warm[00:03:59]
She keeps me warm[00:04:01]
She keeps me warm[00:04:04]
She keeps me warm[00:04:07]
Love is patient[00:04:12]
Love is kind[00:04:14]
Love is patient[00:04:17]
Love is kind not crying on Sundays[00:04:20]
Love is patient not crying on Sundays[00:04:23]
Love is kind not crying on Sundays[00:04:26]
Love is patient not crying on Sundays[00:04:29]
Love is kind not crying on Sundays[00:04:31]
Love is patient not crying on Sundays[00:04:34]
Love is kind not crying on Sundays[00:04:37]
Love is patient[00:04:40]
Love is kind[00:04:42]
