Houston-based rapper Bizzle has
recorded a scatting response to Macklemore's gay marriage anthem Same
Love.
A performance of Same Love at
the Grammy last weekend attracted wide attention for featuring Queen
Latifah presiding over the marriages of 33 gay and straight couples.
In his version, Bizzle rejects marriage
equality based on his religious faith, dismisses comparisons to the
Civil Rights Movement and calls pro-equality rappers like Macklemore
“sellouts.”
“You rather fight God than fight sin;
The Bible is alright until it calls what you like sin; And I feel so
disrespected that you were so desperate; You would compare your
sexual habits to my skin; Calling it 'the new black?' Tell me, where
they do that?; They hung us like tree ornaments, where were you at?;
They burned us for entertainment, you go through that?; Moms raped in
front of their kids while they shot dad; Ever been murdered just for
trying to learn how to read, bro?; Show of hands? I didn't think so;
So quit comparing the two, it ain't the same fight; You can play
straight. We can never play white; Using black people as pawns for
your agenda; These sellout rappers that do whatever you tell em.”
Bizzle also compares gays to
pedophiles: “It angers you if I compare you to a pedophile; Because
he's sick, right? And you're better, how?”
