A song about prejudice
I found this on an ourchart.com blog----The song gave me chills.
[GAY BASH- Melange Lavonne]
Kevin was a friend to me we hit it off from
the very beginning he had a very big heart,
That boy was my best friend and that’s real talk
and those who hated Kevin didn’t know Kev at all
Cause I’m about to let yall know you got it twisted
you just see the paint but don’t see the big picture
You go and preach hate but hide behind scripture
you point the finger first but you the worst sinner
I’m angry cause his life was short that’s not fair
you condemn him to going to hell he’s not there
He was good, he was love, he was all of thee above
so I don’t understand how you do not care
You go to church every week you call this devotion
Hide behind the police and say your word is spoken
Your faith is only what you only see your eyes wide open
You say you’re a man of god but you going through the motions
Chorus:
Listen, you ain’t a Christian you go and preach hate
you call yourself a church together you congregate then
turn around and point the finger discriminate
then spit in my face condemn me for being gay
Verse Two:
Yo I think me and Kevin, yeah we both know that this life
I mean world, this world is so cold
I don’t feel safe any place anymore and
you come up in my face just watch me slam the door
Well people take the law in they own hands I gotta take
a stand and represent him for him I’ll go to war
An advocate for peace but peace is what for
You stay ignorant it means you not know
Its 2007 man why u even give a damn
why concentrating on someone life they living in
If society say us people ain’t fitting in ignore us
close your eyes and stop listening
Guess you ain’t got no life nothing to do
tell you what concentrate on you and just you
Yo, I represent those who opposes hate not
people who hate two faced saying god is great
Chorus:
Listen, you ain’t a Christian you go and preach hate
you call yourself a church together you congregate then turn
around and point the finger discriminate
then spit in my face condemn me for being gay
Verse Three:
Can’t believe they did this what happen was foul
And everything that happen don’t make sense right now
And I feel it’s about to go down I want revenge for
taking my best friend and making his life end
And people are afraid of someone who ain’t them
if I were to hate I would be just like them
So I can’tand I won’t cause I’m better than that
But it won’t change the fact that he ain’t coming back
So I gotta be strong now I got my reason to
stand up for people like Kevin who stop breathing
Cause I’m there with you every step of the way
You ain’t gotta be afraid of what society say
Cause I been there before the lowest point in my life
Considered suicide a feeling that I wanted to die
But I survived and you are not alone in this fight
Take a stand for equality and fight for your right.
Chorus:
Listen, you ain’t a Christian you go and preach hate
you call yourself a church together you congregate then turn
around and point the finger discriminate
