Lyrics
[Verse 1: Brother Ali] I would've followed you to hell and back In my mind, I never asked you for anything back I came at you with love just looking for mercy It was never your fault, the world made me unworthy I showered you in admiration, was fascinated Not exaggerating at all, my God, you're that amazing Decades later, I peel back the layers Actually traded in loyalty for your validation You never asked to be a father to this grown-ass son Can't fault you for the fact you never acted like one I demanded the one thing impossible to give If it's real, it's gotta come from within If it's unhealthy, I know that that's at least half me But I might just need to leave that be Sometimes, it needs to be that growth and adjustment The hearts are never closed, they're just under construction But what then? [Chorus: Brother Ali] Human beings are mysterious things It's a body with a spirit that wiggle the strings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times, hearing it stings Human beings are mysterious things Lot of stress with the lesson experience brings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times, hearing it stings [Verse 2: Brother Ali] When you say to me, "I don't want to lead you I want to be equals," I'm trying to believe you If we truly are peers, I need it to appear and be clear In our equity, respect, and our ideas What I want to know, as far as partnership go If you're really down to roll if you're not in control? Do you speak to me in ways you would never be spoken to? Control me in ways you would never be open to? Maybe I can grow, but I'll never be grown to you Now that I know that, what the hell am I supposed to do? It's oh so true, I couldn't have become me without you I also couldn't become the next me around you Think I might be doin' better than ever before I don't even argue with you in my head anymore I let you win 'em all, for the record, never settled the score That's just not an argument that I have energy for anymore [Chorus: Brother Ali] Human beings are mysterious things It's a body with a spirit that wiggle the strings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times, hearing it stings, mm-mm Human beings are mysterious things Lot of stress with the lesson experience brings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times, hearing it stings [Verse 3: Brother Ali] Our first relationship is with the supreme being Whatever language it is you use for the source of meaning All the pain and the anger and questions I hope they graduate to gratitude and acceptance The second is the bond that we build with our own selves Lifetime of trauma, memories, and our folktales Hope you feel at home in the hole where your soul dwells From your receding hairline to your toenails We mix it with the mamas and our first romances Our childhood circumstances and our chances You glance at the surface, below it, there's a universal load That you carry to the banquet before the first hello There's a universe going on inside us all It's always tryna unite and divide us all That's the factory setting, it's just by default Just trying to reflect a little light is all Yes, y'all [Chorus: Brother Ali] Human beings are mysterious things It's a body with a spirit that wiggle the strings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times, hearing it stings, yadda I mean? Human beings are mysterious things Lot of stress with the lesson experience brings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times, hearing it stings
