DEPARTED (Same Love Remix)
Justin Hammer
(Verse 1)
-When I was in the fourth grade, I got called retarded
-Cause I have two different ears, see ones bigger than the other
-Cause I have two different ears, see ones bigger than the other
-Bus ride home, tears streaming down my face
-Asking mom why God made a mistake.. Nah..
-Justin, there is a rhyme and reason
-God got meaning for everything, start believin’
-But at the time I just wanted to fit in, so I grew long hair to hide what made me different
-Hockey hair till freshmen year all Because of one word,
-Asking mom why God made a mistake.. Nah..
-Justin, there is a rhyme and reason
-God got meaning for everything, start believin’
-But at the time I just wanted to fit in, so I grew long hair to hide what made me different
-Hockey hair till freshmen year all Because of one word,
-Imagine the feeling, a disease without a healing
-Yet used to hate on one another
-Can be so sad what we keep under the covers
-Worst part being, we’re not even the ones to suffer
-A disease that can push families, right up to the fence
-The way we use it, we don’t even make sense
-A mental disposition commonly used as an adjective
– ….I don’t think so
-Yet used to hate on one another
-Can be so sad what we keep under the covers
-Worst part being, we’re not even the ones to suffer
-A disease that can push families, right up to the fence
-The way we use it, we don’t even make sense
-A mental disposition commonly used as an adjective
– ….I don’t think so
(Verse 2)
-If I was retarded, I would think students hate me
-Have you been in the hallways lately?
-If I was retarded, I would think students hate me
-Have you been in the hallways lately?
-“Man, that’s retarded” gets dropped on the daily
-We’re so oblivious to what we’re saying
-A nation based upon equality
-We’re so oblivious to what we’re saying
-A nation based upon equality
-Yet no respect for the special needs
-Callin’ each other retards is makin’ my heart feel sore
-A word rooted in hate, despite it, some still ignore
-Because retard is equivalent with the lesser
-It’s the same ignorance that brought hate in many ways
-Like the civil rights movement, thank God for MLK!
-And marriage restriction set upon the gays
-It’s respect for everyone, there is no difference!
-So live full and be yourself
-Callin’ each other retards is makin’ my heart feel sore
-A word rooted in hate, despite it, some still ignore
-Because retard is equivalent with the lesser
-It’s the same ignorance that brought hate in many ways
-Like the civil rights movement, thank God for MLK!
-And marriage restriction set upon the gays
-It’s respect for everyone, there is no difference!
-So live full and be yourself
-Flaunt your differences, it’s makin you no one else
-If you live with the norm, you’re uniqueness has been wasted
-Damn, our perceptions have become jaded
-So many remain mute when there’s hate that is acute
-And differences can make it so scary to do you
-But no one is perfect and our sins can be inadvertent
-Abolition of the “R” word; The movement has started.
-Damn, our perceptions have become jaded
-So many remain mute when there’s hate that is acute
-And differences can make it so scary to do you
-But no one is perfect and our sins can be inadvertent

(Verse 3)
-There’s no rewind, we’re just moving forward
-Consciously vocalize with love within our minds
-We turn the page to a new
-Hold it together like glue
-And learnin’ to bless each other like someone just ah-choo’ed
-No division on this mission, it’s just part of your definition
-Any predispositions is just makin’ you limited edition
-So put the key in the ignition and start up the engine
-Because no one person is gonna change us
-If we strip away the color, the culture, the location
-What we got left is sheer unification
-Together with love, us humans are all one.
-And as one this battle’s already won
-There’s no rewind, we’re just moving forward
-Consciously vocalize with love within our minds
-We turn the page to a new
-Hold it together like glue
-And learnin’ to bless each other like someone just ah-choo’ed
-No division on this mission, it’s just part of your definition
-Any predispositions is just makin’ you limited edition
-So put the key in the ignition and start up the engine
-Because no one person is gonna change us
-If we strip away the color, the culture, the location
-What we got left is sheer unification
-Together with love, us humans are all one.
-And as one this battle’s already won
