Same Love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

When I was in the third grade
I thought (1)________ I was gay

Tears (2)______________ down my face
She's like, Ben you've loved girls since (3)____________ 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 (4)________ 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 (5)________ treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition
Playing God

Oh no, here we go
America the brave
Still fears what we don't know
And God (6)__________ all his children
It's somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a (7)________ 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 saying
Our culture founded from oppression
Yet we don't have (8)____________________ for them
Call (9)________ other faggots
Behind the keys of a message board

A complexion of (11)________ pigment
The same fight that led (12)____________ to walk-outs and sit-ins
There's human (13)____________ for everybody
There is no difference
Live on
And be yourself
When I was in church (14)________ (15)____________ me something else
If you preach hate at the service
Those words aren't anointed
And that (16)________ Water
That you (17)________ in is (18)________ poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable
Remaining voiceless rather (19)________ fighting for humans
That have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same
But that's not important
No freedom till we're equal
Damn right I (20)______________ it

I don't know

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 (21)__________ me warm

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 (22)________ my uncles can be united by law
Kids are (23)______________ (24)____________ 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
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
