You know my past
You know my name
You don't know the hell of how I live this way
You see the options
You see me change
Then draw your own conclusion why I choose my way
It's my own life
Doesn't mean that you won't see me try
Don't you get the chance to speak your mind
But you look at me like I don't deserve the chance to
Just because you see me play
Don't forget that I am human
So make me out your own high
Don't act as if I'm not human
'Cause I know that you know what it really means to me
Tryna do the right thing
But I'm only human
And I know that you want me to do it your way
You don't do it your way
'Cause we're only human
And that's what I'm saying
You know my blood
You know the game
So why do you expect us to always explain
You make assumptions when you don't know what happen
Do yourself a favor, hold your stupid claim
It's my own life
Doesn't mean you wont see me try
Don't you get a chance to speak your mind
But you look at me like
I don't deserve the chance to
Just because you see me play
Don't forget that I am human
So make me out of your own high
You act as if I'm not human
'Cause I know that you know what it really means to me
I'm tryna do the right thing
But I'm only human
And I know that you want me to do it your way
But you don't do it your way
'Cause we're only human
And that's all I'm saying
Human, human, human, human
