Verse 1
Eb
Cm
When I was in the 3rd grade
Ab
I thought that I was gay 'cause I could draw,
Eb
My uncle was and I kept my room straight
Eb
Cm
I told my mom,
tears rushing down my face, she's like,
Ab
Eb
"Ben you've loved girls since before pre-K"
Eb
Trippin',
Cm
yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?
Ab
Eb
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
Eb
Cm
I remember doing the math like
"Yeah, I'm good a little league"
Ab
Eb
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
Eb
Cm
For those who like the same sex
had the characteristics
Ab
Eb
The right-wing conservatives
think its a decision
Eb
Cm
And you can be cured
with some treatment and religion
Ab
Eb
Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition.
Eb
Cm
Playing God
Ahh nah, here we go
Ab
America the brave
Eb
Still fears what we don't know
Eb
Cm
And God loves all his children
it's somehow forgotten
Ab
But we paraphrase a book
Eb
written thirty five hundred years ago
I don't know

Verse 2
Eb
Cm
If I was gay I would think hip-hop hates me
Ab
Eb
Have you read the Youtube comments lately
Eb
Cm
"Man that's gay" Gets dropped on the daily
Ab
Eb
We've become so numb to what we're sayin'
Eb
Cm
Our culture founded from oppression
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em
Ab
Call each other faggots
Eb
behind the keys of a message board
Eb
A word routed in hate,
Cm
yet our genre still ignores it
Ab
Eb
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
Eb
It's the same hate
Cm
that's caused wars from religion
Ab
Gender to skin color
Eb
the complexion of your pigment
Eb
The same fight
Cm
that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins,
Ab
Eb
It's human rights for everybody
There is no difference
Eb
Cm
Live on! And be yourself!
Ab
When I was in church,
Eb
they taught me something else
Eb
Cm
If you preach hate at the service
Those words aren't anointed
Ab
And that Holy Water,
Eb
that you soak in is then poisoned
Eb
When everyone else Is more comfortable
Cm
remaining voiceless
Ab
Rather than fighting for humans,
Eb
that have had their rights stolen
Eb
G
I might not be the same
But that's not important
Ab
Eb
No freedom 'til we're equal

Verse 3
Eb
Cm
We press play, don't press pause
Ab
Eb
Progress, march on!
Eb
With a veil over our eyes
Cm
We turn our back on the cause
'Till the day
Ab
Eb
That my uncles can be united by law
Eb
Their kids are walkin' around the hallway
Cm
Plagued by pain in their heart
Ab
A world so hateful,
Eb
some would rather die than be who they are
Eb
Cm
And a certificate on paper
Isn't gonna solve it all,
Ab
Eb
but it's a damn good place to start
Eb
Cm
No law's gonna change us
We have to change us.
Ab
Eb
Whatever God you believe in
We come from the same one
Eb
G
Strip away the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
Ab
Eb
About time that we raised up

Love is patient, love is kind
(Not crying on Sundays)
