”Gay Bash” by 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

then spit in my face condemn me for being gay
