Same Love Lyrics - The Heist [deluxe Edition] - Macklemore

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 who liked 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, praying God 

Ahh nah, here we go 

America the brave 

Still fears what we don't know

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

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 too 

And I can't change 

Even if I tried 

Even if I wanted too 

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" 

Photos 

Gets dropped on the daily 

We've become so numb to what we're sayin' 

Our culture founded from oppression 

Yeah, 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 

Complexion of your pigment 

The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins 

Human rights for everybody 

There is no difference 

Live on! And be yourself! 

When I was in church, they taught me something else 

If you preach hate at the service 

Those words aren't anointed 

And that holy water that you soak in is then 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 

I don't know 

And I can't change 

Even if I tried 

Even if I wanted too 

And I can't change 

Even if I tried 

Even if I wanted too 

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 united by law 

Kids are walkin' around the hallway 

Plagued by pain in their heart 

A world so hateful someone 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 too 

And I can't change 

Even if I tried 

Even if I wanted too 

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 (not cryin' on Sundays) 

Love is patient (not crying on Sundays) 

Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) 

Love is patient (not crying on Sundays) 

Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) 

Love is patient (not crying on Sundays) 

Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) 

Love is patient, love is kind.
