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

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

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

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
