[Intro]
|
Planet Earth
|
The place that I live
|
We live
|
Who owns it?
|
You?
|
Nah...nobody owns this shit
|
Just a big ass piece of rock with humans on it
|
Do what the fuck I wanna do
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
A lost human born into a dark society
|
With what mind state?
|
There's no variety
|
Movin' vibrantly
|
Tryna be the best that I can be
|
I've tried to see the light and live in life but it just blinded me, irony
|
Now I'm thinkin' violently
|
Because I feel my country went and lied to me
|
It's bringing out a whole new fucking side to me
|
Ride wit me
|
If you feel my pain then you can cry wit me
|
This fuckin' shady system is the rivalry
|
They the ones who raised us
|
Turned us into cage nuts
|
They're what we're afraid of
|
They are why we ain't us
|
They the reason we constantly livin' for money and we just can't budge
|
It's taking a toll on your dreams, so you gave up
|
And now the pain stuck
|
They ain't showin' nothin' but fake love
|
We just numbers put on a pay stub
|
Our purpose shouldn't be to make bucks
|
We all slaves and if we ever make a change then we straight fucked
|
|
[Hook]
|
I can't stand humans, I hate humans
|
But I'm a human (I'm only human)
|
One monkey eats shit, now all the other monkeys wanna do it
|
Humans are so stupid
|
Don't bring your bull shit around me, you fuckin' human
|
The problem is killin' my mind
|
God give me sign, maybe I'm trippin'
|
Tell me this life is worth livin'
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Who set the standard for everybody to live by?
|
How far along in life would you be if you did try?
|
Who's tryna help these ghetto neighborhoods where kids die?
|
This world has turned into a mother fuckin' pigsty
|
I look outside and it disgusts me
|
It bugs me, it's ugly
|
I trust no other fucking human but me
|
So what needs to be done?
|
Every day is a rerun
|
Technology is advanced
|
As people, how far have we come?
|
Yeah, I can see the time's grown
|
But still, I'm mind blown
|
Cause everybody's mind is stuck inside their iPhone
|
They always textin' and postin' statuses hourly
|
But in reality, there's no sign of a personality
|
It's cowardly
|
We should live life, we scared to get some -ologies
|
The human being is what we don't know how to be
|
And honestly
|
These issues really suck to know
|
But I refuse to sit and let the trouble grow
|
So God, show me where the fuck to go!
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
How can a man with power feel there's no responsibility?
|
These rappers blowin' up, but through my eyes they not as real to me
|
They constantly conceal the beast but never try to heal the streets
|
Teachin' girls to be a slut, but never make 'em feel unique
|
How can we feel fine this way?
|
Open up your minds today
|
The matrix got you young
|
Owin' a debt you'll spend your life to pay
|
Stressed out
|
Assumin' that you'll be more happier inside your brain
|
Don't tell me you don't got no fuckin struggle, nigga cause I know pain
|
To the point where I felt like life was shit
|
Growin' up as a kid with both parents who got no funds to ever provide you wit
|
Should've just stuck with [?]
|
The world is tough to be in
|
Munchin' on fast food
|
Don't even know what the fuck I'm eatin'
|
America, I gave it my all
|
Still you guys arrested me for being black and standing on a sidewalk
|
It doesn't matter if I'm breaking laws or being harmless
|
I'm automatically hated by cops cause my dark skin
|
God was my smartest option
|
My soul is mine, ya'll ain't gonna bargain off it
|
Cause if you do that means the darkness profits
|
The sky is where I got my heart adopted
|
Man, if we all just took the time to think I swear it won't be hard to stop this
|
But ya'll assume that I'm just startin' nonsense
|
But I promise ya'll the fuckin' world is gonna remember Marcus Hopson!
|
There's consequences for enlightenment
|
But if I have to hide the truth to live then I'mma die just like my idols did
|
|
[Hook]
