Mackle more starts out the rap with a strong first stanza- ‘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.” Not only did he recognize the fact there were pretty unreasonable stereotypes about people who like the same sex, but also that stereotypes are already invading the brains of the new generation at a very young age and how it’s influencing our society.
Also the chorus features the unbelievable beautiful voice of Mary lambert. The lyrics are so heart full “And I can’t change, even if I try, even if I wanted too.
