Lyrics Same Love - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis , Mary Lambert
When
I
was
in
the
third
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
at
little
league."
A
pre-conceived
idea
of
what
it
all
meant
For
those
that
like
the
same
sex
had
the
characteristics
The
right-wing
conservatives
think
it′s
a
decision
And
you
can
be
cured
with
some
treatment
and
religion
Man-made,
rewiring
of
a
pre-disposition
Playing
God,
aw
nah,
here
we
go
America
the
brave
still
fears
what
we
don't
know
And
"God
loves
all
his
children"
is
somehow
forgotten
But
we
paraphrase
a
book
written
thirty-five
hundred
years
ago
I
don′t
know
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
She
keeps
me
warm
She
keeps
me
warm
She
keeps
me
warm
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
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
color,
the
complexion
of
your
pigment
The
same
fight
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
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
And
I
can't
change,
even
if
I
tried
Even
if
I
wanted
to
My
love,
my
love,
my
love
She
keeps
me
warm
She
keeps
me
warm
She
keeps
me
warm
She
keeps
me
warm
We
press
play,
don′t
press
pause:
progress,
march
on!
With
a
veil
over
our
eyes,
we
turn
our
back
on
the
cause
′Til
the
day
that
my
uncles
can
be
united
by
law
Kids
are
walking
'round
the
hallway
Plagued
by
a
pain
in
their
heart
A
world
so
hateful,
some
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!
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
She
keeps
me
warm
She
keeps
me
warm
She
keeps
me
warm
Love
is
patient
Love
is
kind
Love
is
patient
Love
is
kind

crying

Sundays)
Love
