Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

When I was in the third grade, I thought that I was gay

小时候我上三年级，以为自己是同性恋

'Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight

'因为我会画画，我叔叔也是，我把房间整理得干干净净

I told my mom, tears rushing down my face

我告诉妈妈，泪水顺着脸颊流下来

She's like, "Ben, you've loved girls since before pre-K"

她说：“本，你从学前班之前就喜欢女孩”

Trippin', yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?

我有点迷惑，是啊，她可能说得对，不是吗？

Bunch of stereotypes all in my head

脑子里满是成见的偏见

I remember doing the math like, "Yeah, I'm good at little league."

我还记得算过数学，“没问题，我擅长棒球”

A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant

对这所有事的先入为主的理解

For those that like the same sex had the characteristics

认为喜欢同性的人具有某些特质

The right-wing conservatives think it's a decision

右翼保守派觉得这是个决定

And you can be cured with some treatment and religion

还说可以用一些治疗和宗教来“治愈”

Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition

人造的，重塑天生的倾向

Playing God, aw nah, here we go

扮上帝，不不，开始了

America the brave still fears what we don't know

勇敢的美国仍害怕未知

"God loves all his children" is somehow forgotten

“上帝爱所有的孩子”却似乎被忘了

But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five hundred years ago

我们却把三千五百年前写的一本书改写

I don't know

我不知道

And I can't change

我无法改变

Even if I tried, even if I wanted to

即便我努力，甚至我想要

And I can't change, even if I tried

我无法改变，即使我尝试

Even if I wanted to, my love, my love, my love

即便我想要，我的爱，我的爱，我的爱

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me

如果我也是同志，我就会觉得说唱讨厌我

Have you read the YouTube comments lately?

你最近看过YouTube上的评论了吗？

"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily

“那是同性恋”每天都有人这么说

We've become so numb to what we're sayin'

我们对自己所说的话变得麻木了

Our culture founded from oppression

我们的文化建立在压迫之上

Yet, we don't have acceptance for 'em

但我们对他们却不包容

Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board

在留言板后面叫别人“娘娘腔”

A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it

这词根源于仇恨，然而我们的音乐类型还在忽略它

"Gay" is synonymous with the lesser

“Gay”就等于更低一等

It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion

这是引发宗教战争的仇恨

Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment

从性别到肤色，你的肤色

The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins

同样的斗争，让人们走上罢工和静坐

It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference

是人人的人权，没有区别

Live on and be yourself

继续生活，做自己

When I was at church, they taught me something else

小时候我在教会，他们教我别的

If you preach hate at the service, those words aren't anointed

如果你在礼拜中散布仇恨，那些话就不被祝福

That holy water that you soak in, has been poisoned

你洗礼的圣水，早已被污染

And when everyone else is more comfortable remainin' voiceless

当别人都选择保持沉默的时候

Rather than fightin' for humans that have had their rights stolen

而不是为那些被剥夺权益的人而战

I might not be the same, but that's not important

我可能不一样，但那不重要

No freedom 'til we're equal, damn right, I support it

没有平等就没有自由，没错，我支持

And I can't change, even if I tried

我无法改变，即使我努力

Even if I wanted to, my love, my love, my love

即便我想要，我的爱，我的爱，我的爱

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

We press play, don't press pause

我们按播放，别按暂停

Progress, march on

向前进，继续前行

With a veil over our eyes, we turn our back on the cause

蒙着眼睛转身，我们背对真相

'Til the day that my uncles can be united by law

直到有一天，我的叔叔能被法律认可

When kids are walkin' 'round the hallway, plagued by a pain in their heart

当孩子们在走廊上走着，心中痛苦

A world so hateful, some would rather die than be who they are

一个充满仇恨的世界，有人宁愿死也不愿做自己

And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all

纸上的证明并不能解决所有问题

But it's a damn good place to start

但这是个很好的开始

No law is gonna change us, we have to change us

没有哪个法律能改变我们，我们要自己改变

Whatever god you believe in, we come from the same one

你信仰的神，我们都来自同一个

Strip away the fear, underneath it's all the same love

撕去恐惧，深藏的都是一样的爱

About time that we raised up and said something

该站出来了，说点什么的时候

And I can't change

我无法改变

Even if I tried, even if I wanted to

即使我努力，甚至我想要

And I can't change, even if I tried

我无法改变，即使我尝试

Even if I wanted to, my love, my love, my love

即便我想要，我的爱，我的爱，我的爱

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖

She keeps me warm

她让我温暖
