Same Love
Macklemore

When I was in the 3rd 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!

Tripping, 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

Ahh, 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

Mary Lambert Hook:

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 x4

Macklemore Verse 2:

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 saying

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, 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 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

Trombone Interlude:

I don't know

Hook

Macklemore Verse 3:

We press play, don't press pause

Progress, march on!

With a veil over our eyes, we turn our back on the cause

'Till the day that my uncles can be united by law

Kids are walking around the hallway

Plagued by 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!

Hook

Mary Lambert Outro:

Love is patient, love is kind

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 (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)
