HOOK (full) Ben, most people would turn you away I don't listen to a word they say They don't see you as I do I wish they would try to I'm sure they'd think again If they had a friend like Ben
VERSE 1 Uh My name's Adair and I'm here to recruit you What up Hip-Hop Can I spit some taboo Hello young world can I change your outlook When I was growing up I was forced to give a frown look to people who were different than me And I just accepted it man but I was so naive See I was scholarship-ed to a private school And in the hood I was with my vatos acting a fool So either way being gay was wrong It was against the hood laws or the laws of God So... I didn't see them - they probably were scared straight But I made a friend I never expected to make.... Now, I can see all the hate reaction on your face This subjects not the type that hip-hop embrace But it's long overdue... where you at Wayne I said it's long overdue where you at Ye? I mean...

VERSE 2 Ben, you're my friend in case you unaware Adair Lion does if nobody else care And I've never been the type to harp on what others think of me So there's no wonder why I call out all this bigotry Being Christian its hard to say this... But the Bible was wrong this time... It's in every species and every family I've met So I don't see why to the world its a crime You see, logistically And statistically Not every dancer dude is gay Not every football players straight And thats crazy huh, but thats fact yo! And that's the same anywhere, even rap yo! Oh you don't see that... You don't believe that... I guess him over there he chose to be Black... And her Asian... And them White... And those God awful gays chose to live that life, huh?!

VERSE 3
Ben, I don't know if my friends will back me up on this They might turn their backs and say that I'm a bitch And I know if you come out you'll get the same shit But we don't need that kind of peeps in our relationship "Gay is okay" the number one thing a rapper shouldn't say... I said it anyway and I made history... (And) to all the little dudes learning to mack The hottest chicks got a gay in their clique, remember that Ben this songs for you while your growing up 'Cause I don't wanna see you break and say you've had enough It doesn't just get better, it gets awesome homie What I mean is I just wanna see you blossom homie It's just they never really miss you 'til you (are) dead or your gone So on that note, I'm leaving after this song You ain't gotta feel any way about Adair for long But at least let Michael tell you why I'm this way...hold on

OUTRO Coincidentally, Ben is the name of someone I've never met...my dad. So why would I ever judge someone who is trying to be two of what I never had?Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
