lyrics:

just a nigga with some dreams
but it don't seem like i can ever
make em happen
its like sometimes im too afraid to fail
to get up and take action
maybe thats cause i see what happens to most of the people with passion
they end up like christ in the passion or livin outside diggin for food in trashcans
so i just settle for a check to cash in
but deep down
i know that this shit aint life
i could be changin the world
with the shit i write
why im afraid to manifest
whats in my sight
man it just might be the system
got us thinkin you're gon get killed
for havin wisdom
and that you'll never make a dollar
by havin a vision
so we create these
defense mechanisms
call our goals "dreams"
so we can't make em real
think we'll be laughed at
for sayin how we feel
so we drown the feelins out
with the drink and the pills
not realizin, all the while
we're stuck still
like i used to spit this god shit
like i was professin wisdom
but really it was my biggest
defense mechanism
cause gods are perfect,
and they don't need to change
the perfect excuse to hate yourself
and stay the same
realized, a god shouldnt
even feel hate
so what was i really?
just a human with some great
defenses, but now i come to my senses
and see that i ain't perfect,
but as i keep on ascendin
and stop listenin to the message the media sendin
i ask myself,
is this hate mine or did they make it?
got us thinkin humans are evil
because the systems racist
take the chain of insecurity
and prejudice and break it
i wont let you turn me into you
before i couldn't say it, but im
just a fuckin human
just like everybody else
but that don't mean i can't
do shit with the hand that i was dealt
and it definitely dont mean
i cant have love for myself
i think the love was there along,
but i listened when
y'all told me how i shoulda felt

just a human with some flaws,
i mean everybody got em,
but i hate myself,
where'd that come from?
tryna find the cause,
i mean maybe its what i was told
that i was
by the school and the church
and the laws
i could choose to be a victim,
but defense mechanisms won't control my thoughts
we're just humans with some flaws,
i mean everybody got em,
but we hatin each other,
where'd that come from?
tryna find the cause,
i mean maybe its what we were told
that we are by the school and the church
and the laws
we could choose to be the victims
but defense mechanisms won't control our thoughts
we could all be gods
