SAME LOVE

SAME LOVE 

by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis





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"
Trippin', 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 a little league"
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
For those who like the same sex had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives think its 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 it's somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written 3, 500 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've become so numb to what we're sayin'
Our culture founded from oppression
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
A word routed 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 lead 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
And that Holy Water, that you soak in is then 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

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 a veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
'Till the day That my uncles can be united by law
Their kids are walkin' 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

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

"Gay is synonymous with the lesser " Gumagamit ang mga tao ng "bakla" upang mag-refer sa mga bagay na hindi nila gusto o sumasang-ayon. Samakatuwid natutunan ng mga tao na isipin ang salitang "bakla" bilang isang masamang bagay. Hindi naman ako na "touch" sa linyang ito sa anumang paraan pero ang aking masasabi lang ay unnecessary ang paggamit nito kasi hindi natin alam na offensive ito sa ibang tao at meron naman tayong ibang masasabi maliban sa paggamit nang "bakla" bilang sagot sa mga katanungan.





      Ang linyang "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" ay nakaantig sa aking puso kasi bakit ba ang mga tao may problema sa ibang tao? hindi naman ito "end of the world" kung may isang tao na bakla o may itim na balat.  Ang isa pang rason na hindi ko maintindihan ay kung bakit ginawa pang mga alipin ang mga may itim na balat. Sapagka't lang na itim ang kanilang balat hindi naman dapat na gagawin mo silang alipin. Dapat natin ipagtrato ang lahat ng mga tao ng pantay pantay kasi tayo'y ginawa ng diyos para mag tulongan at hindi mag-away

        Lucrecia Roces Kasilag she is one of the best, if not the best contemporary composers here on the Philippines. She has played the piano for over 50 years and here I'm going to show you how much she has accomplished in those 50 years of playing the piano. 

KAHALAGAHAN NG BUHAY

 

     "May dalawang bagay na importante sa iyong buhay yun ay ang araw na ikaw ay ipinanganak at ang araw na malaman mo kung bakit ka ipinanganak." Mula sa quote na ito dito ko nalaman kung ano ang aking purpose, kung ano kahalaga ang buhay at kung sino ako nabubuhay.

     

     Para sa akin ang kahalagahan ng buhay ay ang pag ranas sa iba't ibang bagay na ibinigay ng buhay sa iyong pagkatao at pag ranas sa mga bagay na iyong masalubong sa daan na iyong pinupunta. Hindi ka talaga kailangan mag-ubos ng oras sa pag-aral o pagiging seryoso, diba? Minsan kailangan mo lang mag relax at maranas ang mga bagay na ibinigay ng panginoon. Sabi ng mga matatanda na ang resulta ay ang pinakamahalaga sa buhay pero sa totoo lang ako ay hindi sang-ayon dito kasi para sa akin ang pinakamahalaga sa buhay ay hindi ang resulta kundi ang progreso.

    Ang aking purpose sa mundo na ito ay mag-enjoy sa mga bagay bagay hanggang ako ay nasiyahan. 
Isa itong simple na sagot pero sa totoo lang wala na akong iba na maiisip o ito lang talaga ang purpose ng lahat ng tao. 


    Ako ay nabubuhay para sa kinabukasan ng mundo. Kasi para sa akin ang purpose ng buhay hindi lang mag-enjoy kundi mag reproduce o multiply kasi ang kinabukasan ng mundo ay hindi mabubuo kung walang bagong mga tao na mag inhabitan dito.
