Human Nature

Verse 1
They told me living life is half the battle
Tryna stay on mounted saddle
Grew up in too deep my niggers out at sea without a paddle
Crooked goon or born with silver spoon
We all end in the gravel
Tryna touch the youth but they gon do me like I’m Jimmy Saville
Leroy boxing through the day
Packed a punch like sugar ray
Like leaves in Autumn breeze that’s how his dreams just upped an blew away
Blessings with that holy water only sought ta baptise
Only so much you can rock the boat before it capsizes
Burning effergies, got no energy for enemies
Still tryna make a mill but we can’t figure out the recipe
Mother always told me if you do it do it by the book
But she weren’t at home so know them streets had taught me how to cook
Learn it right, serve it right, stay in view while out of sight
Sleeping through the day cause know we vamping through the summer nights
Either way some gon’ love ya some gon’ hate ya
Some be leaders, some believers
Chalk it up to human nature

Chorus
Tryna make it real to me, in reality
Knowing we don’t believe in miracles
Somehow we get through, trials and we get to
Hoping time don’t neglect you
It’ll take, all you have just to live it
Living this life we push to the limit
Cause we know, we can only go so far
Knowing we only human

Verse 2
Somewhere in between good and evil they tell me I pivot on that precipice
Living’s hard as hell wonder if dyings gon’ be effortless
My uncle was my father man I love him man he keep me humble
We was broke as hell but shit he never let my belly grumble
Mother was Medusa know one look’ll turn your ass to stone
Taught me to succeed you know black people can be failure prone
Working through these questions use my essence as a stepping stone
We don’t get no answers like a private caller on the phone
Duffle coats is zipping, bucked up Moses at that Zenith Chicken
None of my niggers slipping on my watch, but shit
That time is ticking
Time to make a move, tell my girl I love her we almost there
Baby we gon’ make it, run my fingers through her curly hair
Meanwhile young black immigrants losing their innocence
Niggers tried to kill they set fire to my residence
Either way some gon’ love you some gon’ hate ya
Some respect ya some’ll tec ya lets just pray they don’t forget ya

Chorus
Tryna make it real to me, in reality
Knowing we don’t believe in miracles
Somehow we get through, trials and we get to
Hoping time don’t neglect you
It’ll take, all you have just to live it
Living this life we push to the limit
Cause we know, we can only go so far
Knowing we only human

Bridge
Knowing the world just ain’t fair
Where do we run to, nowhere
All that we’ve been through, laid bare
Search and we find you

Chorus
Tryna make it real to me, in reality
Knowing we don’t believe in miracles
Somehow we get through, trials and we get to
Hoping time don’t neglect you
It’ll take, all you have just to live it
Living this life we push to the limit
Cause we know, we can only go so far
Knowing we only human
