We got kids firin’/ guns at school/ 
we got suicidal homies, they think they ain’t cool/
we got cryin’ mothers n’ mournin’ fathers/
why’s everybody’s concerned what gay people gonna do.

We got the poor drownin’ in endless pain/
we got the self-absorbed rich, dancin’ in a rainbow rain/
we got the loveliest humans homeless in the streets
why does everybody flip out when gay couples pick a different lane? 

homie, don’t get mad, but it ain’t our fuckin’ business/
understand they didn’t have the option to be this. 
when they come outta the closet, they’re sharing their secrets/
so how ‘bout we show them love, and say you hate this.

Segregation, nations, don’t be patient/
against degradation, religions’ manipulation.
if you got a homophobic homie, don’t let him say shit/
let’s spread love, instead of negativity n’ hatred.

I love you, regardless/
of who you sleep at night, cuz i ain’t  heartless.
As long as you leave a legacy of kindness.
i’ll have your back, till you overcome your nightmares.

they say it ain’t natural, it’s against the law/
it’s against humanity, it’s repulsive, it’s a flaw/
yea ok i got it, don’t let them get married/
n’ let your 8 year old carry guns as an outlaw.

homophobes, to me, are like racists/
you hate someone for what they ain’t got control of, the pain is/
so over your imagination, i know it, cuz i’ve felt racism/
that’s why i got respect for gay homies that have made it.

equality and justice, easy to say/
you say them, and still get on your knees to pray/
the ‘God’ who’s been ignorin’ the growth of ignorance, 
how could you, with so much shit happenin’ everyday. 

If i was ever lucky to find my beautiful queen/
treat her right, be the wall of love n’support for her to lean/
if we got a pretty girl, n she grew to be ellen degenerous.
I’d be the proudest dad the universe has ever seen. 


black homies endured slavery, to get where they’re at now.
women were seen as worthless, but men now    all take a bow
now you’re degraded and bashed, cuz you wanna love your own sex/
it makes no sense, but hey, stay strong, and be proud. 

yea homie, just stay who you are, and know that, we love you regardless of who you sleep at night, cuz we ain't heartless...let's go!

I love you, regardless/
of who you sleep at night, cuz i ain’t  heartless.
As long as you leave a legacy of kindness.
i’ll have your back, till you overcome your nightmares.
