L.S.S. // Macklemore, need I say more?

A new post I guess. I first heard this on the radio but I never thought Macklemore enraptured my eardrums once again with one of his masterpieces.
I'm pretty sure you all know this song already. I know, I know, I'm pretty backwards when it comes to the newest trends but what can I do, I like staying in my room.
Anyways, without further adieu.. Same Love 

 

This song, especially this music video not only give chills down my spine but it also invited a bunch of ninjas in my room. I cried like a baby. For some reason, Same-Sex rights always gets me, I'm not gay yet I feel so attached to the community as if I'm one. I don't hate it, I actually like it but I'm really weirded out by it, but no matter. I see everyone as equal...not unless you did something bad to me then I would retaliate as if I erased you in this worlds completely. Ahem... moving on, this music video just inspired me to tap into my creative side ha ha. 

I truly have a soft spot in my heart for Same - Sex Equality, I don't know if it's because my uncle is or the fact that my mom was surrounded by them but I just feel a strong connection for them as if I'm one of them, sadly, I'm not. I guess they're just lucky.

By the way, here are the lyrics to the song which you can find anywhere in Google.


LYRICS

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?
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
I remember doing the math like, "Yeah, I'm good at little league"
A preconceived idea of what it all meant
For those that 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 predisposition
Playing God, aw 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 become so numb to what we're saying
A 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 at 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 till we're equal, damn right 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 press play, don't press pause
Progress, march on
With the veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids are walking 'round 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 is 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
