Same Love - feat. Mary Lambert

[Piano Intro][Verse 1: Macklemore]When I was in the 3rd grade
I thought that I was gay
Cause I could draw, my uncle wasAnd I kept my room straightI 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 characteristicsThe right-wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religionMan-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition, playing GodAhh, nah, here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't knowAnd "God loves all his children" is somehow forgottenBut we paraphrase a book written thirty-five hundred years ago
I don't know[Hook: Mary Lambert]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]
[Verse 2: Macklemore]If I was gay I would think hip-hop hates meHave you read the YouTube comments lately?
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the dailyWe've become so numb to what we're sayingOur culture founded from oppression
Yet we don't have acceptance for 'emCall each other faggots
Behind the keys of a message boardA word rooted in hate
Yet our genre still ignores it"Gay" is synonymous with the lesserIt's the same hate that's caused wars from religionGender 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 differenceLive 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
That Holy Water that you soak in has been poisonedWhen everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolenI might not be the same but that's not importantNo freedom til we're equal
Damn right I support it[Trombone Interlude]
I don't know
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Macklemore]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 lawKids are walking around the hallway
Plagued by pain in their heartA world so hateful
Some would rather die
Than be who they areAnd a certificate on paper
Isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to startNo law's gonna change us
We have to change usWhatever god you believe in
We come from the same oneStrip away the fear, underneath, it's all the same loveAbout time that we raised up!
[Hook]

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)
