Macklemore-Same Love Art

Here's a picture which was inspired by Macklemore's Same Love from the Album The Heist. Below are the lyrics.

"Same Love"
(with Ryan Lewis)
 (feat. Mary Lambert)


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... sex

 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

 Love is patient
 Love is kind
 Love is patient
 Love is kind
 (not crying on Sundays)
 Love is patient
 (not crying on Sundays)
 Love is kind
 (I'm not crying on Sundays)
 Love is patient
 (not crying on Sundays)
 Love is kind
 (I'm not crying on Sundays)
 Love is patient
 (not crying on Sundays)
 Love is kind
 (I'm not crying on Sundays)
 Love is patient
 Love is kind
