REFRAIN 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 (× 4)
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 become so numb to what we’re saying A culture founded from 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 is synonymous with the lesser It’s the same hate that’s caused wars from religion Gender to skin colour, the complexion of your pigment The same fi ght that led people to walk outs and sit ins It’s human rights for everybody, there is no difference! Live on and be yourself When I was at church they taught me something else If 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 voiceless Rather than fi ghting 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 I don’t know
(Refrain)
We press play, don’t press pause Progress, march on With the veil over our eyes We turn our back 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
