Same Love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

When I was in the third grade
I thought that I was gay
'Cause I (1)__________ 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 (2)__________ (3)__________ since before pre-K
Tripping
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
I (4)________________ 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 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

Oh no, here we go
America the brave
Still fears what we don't know
And God (5)__________ all his children
It's somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written
Thirty (6)________ 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

We've become so numb to what we're saying
Our culture founded from oppression
Yet we don't (8)________ acceptance for them
Call each other faggots
Behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate
Yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is (9)____________________ with the lesser

It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color
A (10)____________________ of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins
There's human rights for everybody
There is no difference
Live on
And be yourself
When I was in church they taught me (11)__________________ else
If you preach hate at the service
Those words aren't anointed
And that Holy Water
That you soak in is then poisoned
When everyone (12)________ is more comfortable
Remaining voiceless (13)____________ than fighting for humans
That have had their (14)____________ stolen
I might not be the same
But that's not important
No freedom (15)________ we're equal
Damn (16)__________ I support 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 keeps me warm

We (17)__________ play
Don't press pause
Progress, march on
With a veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
Kids are walking (18)____________ the hallway
Plagued by pain in (19)__________ heart
A world so hateful
Some would rather die (20)________ 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 (21)________ to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We (22)________ 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
