Mary Lambert: I Felt Like Kanye After Finishing Debut LP!

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
Shes like Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k tripping,
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didnt she?
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
I remember doing the math like, Yeah, Im good at little league
A preconceived idea of what it all meant
For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think its a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing god, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we dont know
And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I dont know

(Mary Lambert)
And I cant change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
I can't change
Even if I try
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

(Macklemore)
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately
"Man, thats gay" gets dropped on the daily
We become so numb to what were saying
A culture founded from oppression
Yet we dont 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
Its the same hate thats 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
Its 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 arent 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 thats not important
No freedom till were equal, damn right I support it

(Mary Lambert)
And I cant 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

(Macklemore)
We press play, dont press pause
Progress, march on
With the veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids are walking round 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 isnt gonna solve it all
But its a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath its all the same love
About time that we raised up

(Mary Lambert)
And I cant change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
I can't change
Even if I try
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
