Same Love - feat. Mary Lambert - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

[Piano Intro]

[Verse 1: Macklemore]
When I was in the 3rd 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!"

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 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

[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 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 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, 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 difference
Live 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 poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless

Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same but that's not important
No 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 law
Kids are walking around 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!


[Hook]


[Outro: Mary Lambert]
Love is patient, love is kind
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)

Love is patient (not crying on Sundays)

Love is kind (not crying on Sundays)
