No On Prop 8, by Crystal

Verse 1:

It’s such a Travesty that I can’t even be me,
Taking away my civil liberties so I can’t even be me!
Kind of hard to imagine what I could’ve done to you,
To give you such a distorted view, perception of who?
Me? We? The Rainbow Children not the Coalition, just a little different…
Shhh…Listen, as I give you an opportunity to fact check and not simply assume it!
Equal Opportunist, I guess it did a two step.
To the left to the left, because you say we aren’t right!
Highlight! In who’s sight? Why fight?
In your eyes your right and in mines me too!
Just give me the Opportunity to live my life as you do!
Just give me the Freedom to live my life as you do!

Hook:

No Hate! Don’t Hate!
Simply Participate!
Get up and Demonstrate!
Vote NO on Prop 8!
Allow me to make My Own Decisions about My Life,
Why?
Because this is My Life!
No on Prop 8! My Life My Decision to make I say it twice so you get the sincerity about it being My Life!

Verse 2:

Your too concerned with politics and not people.
Last time I checked we were all created equal.
When did it become because I like my same sex,
that my self worth is worth much less?
Any way you take this…I AM ME!
Created in His divine image.
My Faith Christianity!
If this is your religion too.
My goodness you already know,
That he without sin be my guest and cast the first stone.
People we shouldn’t throw stones when we All live in glass houses.
The difference is my secrets I’ve already “Outed!”
Now if I take a look in your dark closet with a light and microscope what will I uncover?
Don’t worry I won’t!
Judge and ye shall be judged isn’t that what the Bible says?
While your half reading and interpreting it your own way!
I read the book of Romans, homosexuality an abomination,
Not keeping the entire 10 Commandments is what destroyed nations!
Again, I say no sin greater than the next!
I pray as you pray forgiveness, wisdom and strength!

Hook:

So…No Hate! Don’t Hate!
Simply Participate!
Get up and Demonstrate!
Vote NO on Prop 8!
Allow me to make My Own Decisions about My Life,
Why?
Because this is My Life!
No on Prop 8! My Life My Decision to make I say it twice so you get the sincerity about it being My Life!

Verse 3:

Discrimination is discrimination anyway you put it!
Look how far we’ve come make your power for good and use it!
If it doesn’t make sense or look right in your eyes,
Homosexuals wedding, not right? I got a history lesson for your mind!
Like Once a upon a Time.
Blacks couldn’t marry whites, their Love hidden.
Segregation suppressed their Love, but eventually Love over rid it.
A little further back to the time of “Roots” black slaves couldn’t marry black slaves, but it was okay for slave trade?!?
My color couldn’t marry my color. Now my sex can’t marry my sex?
I look at you people and I say “Damn! What’s next?”
Simply put all we want is Equal Rights and Respect!
In the time of “Change” make Just decisions and live life with no Regrets!

Hook:

So Again I say,
No Hate! Don’t Hate!
Simply Participate!
Get up and Demonstrate!
Continue to Vote NO on Prop 8!
Allow me to make My Own Decisions about My Life,
Why?
Because this is My Life!
No on Prop 8! My Life My Decision to make I say it twice so you get the sincerity about it being My Life!
