[Intro: Blu]
But I'm only human
But I'm only human (Yeah, humanity)
But I'm only human (Uh, human)
You've made mistakes too (Yeah)
[Verse 1: Blu]
I evolved from the great ape runnin' away from jaguars, leopards, and lions
Used to climb tall trees, now I stand tall like 'em
From a small monkey to a giant
I built kingdoms of gold, silver, bronze, and iron
Yet I never let women reach the same level I am
On, now I'm tryna right my wrongs as I write this song
Readin' psalms, thinkin' Solomon was wrong
All the wisdom and the sinnin' make the wisdom feel lost
Like medallions with Jesus on the cross
May our leaders bust nine millimeters at the hogs
Cause they treat us like dogs
Tryna beat us cause they know they can't defeat us
We are gods and we been stronger than you all along
We evolved from bein' lion's food to fightin' troops
If we light the fuse to the bomb, and they fire nukes
Say bye-bye to the humans, you survived
Six million years of violence and abuse just to die
Which includes you and I
[Verse 2: Homeboy Sandman]
The homo sapien, gatherin' in numbers that there's safety in
Some of y'all won't take me in
We're all descendants of the same neanderthals, allegedly
Tryna have it our way
Despite the fact the same Yahweh give us energy, we bicker
Poison ourselves with drugs, liquor
Tobacco, sake, opium, opiates, the substances evolve
But the human tendency to run away need to be solved, y'all
Bibles, Torahs, Qurans, lots of manuals
We different from all the other animals
A bird would never think to snatch a purse or do insane crimes
Somehow we perfect and imperfect at the same time
Stupid even though we smart
Giants of math, science, and art
That are able to wield matter when it come to the matters of the heart
And manage, well that's the hard part
[Verse 3: Asher Roth]
It's hard, dawg
So what am I to do? Who am I to you?
Human eyes can humanize, but who designed the truth?
The human side gets brutalized by humankind, that's cool?
More like crazy, sexy, the left eye's illumed
Wide eyed, confused, wise guys, Confucius
Thomas Aquinas tried philosophize what's intertwined us
What's behind us? Consciousness, thoughts anonymous
Gots to be gods and goddesses, undecided if
Whether Earth is doomed, cause Earth's consumed
Earth's been for five bil', we've been around for two
Hundred thou', that's kinda wild, look what we've got into
A new age have shied away from the devout and rule
The word "vibe" is ruined, but vibe's the root
Vibrations go to higher planes, fly the coop
Close your eyes and clear your mind, be undivided to
A new alignment, build a shrine in tune with what's inside of you
Instead of constitutions, civil rights, and politics
Could we harmonize or will there always be a Gaza Strip?
I'm conflicted, I'm upset, obsessed, depressed
Lost direction, thoughts incessant
Stocks, investments, Catholicism, box confessions
Oxys, Molly, Percocet, botox injections
Causin' nausea, diarrhea, indigestion
That's all so stressin'
[Outro]
I dunno, anybody about to turn forty
Any man about to turn forty, in here?
Let me tell you what's about to happen, sir…
