Get Back Up

(album: No Mercy - 2010)

[T.I.:]
I'm only human dawg
I'm only human dawg
I'm only human dawg

[Chris Brown:]
Can you hear me
It's an SOS to let me be me

[T.I.:]
Ay, ay, ay listen to me
And when they push you down,
You got to get back up
And when they push you down,
You got to get back up

[T.I.:]
Brush the dirt off your jersey then go for the cup
Or the trophy or the ring, champion no matter what
Cause when you got the belt and the ring
People with ya popping bottles, taking pictures look around
As soon as you fall down all the haters pass a judgement
Surprise, I'm here to show that I'ma rise above this

Ay, what it is World
Yeah it's me again, back before you, at your mercy
Don't bend your knee again, no running from the truth
As much as we pretend, that it ain't what it is, then it hits CNN
Apologies to my fans and my closest friends, (I'm sorry)
For letting you down, I wont take you down this road again
Most of you now saying whatever, here we go again
Blogs, radio, and television all going in
I laugh to keep from crying through all of the embarrassment
I gotta say you fucking haters is hilarious
How dare you sit right there and act as if you holier than thou
Point your finger now with me looking down
Same clown that was twitpic'ing at my wedding
On the same twitter page disrespecting
Wait a second (hold up)
Never mind my imperfections this is fact, remember that
No mistakes too great to recover and bounce back

[Chris Brown:]
And when they push you down, you got to get back up
And when they push you down, you got to get back up

[T.I.:]
Brush the dirt off your jersey then go for the cup
Or the trophy or the ring, champion no matter what
Cause when you got the belt and the ring
People with ya popping bottles, taking pictures look around
As soon as you fall down all the haters pass a judgement
Surprise, I'm here to show that I'ma rise above this

[T.I.:]
I admit, yeah, I done some dumb shit,
Disappointed everybody I know
Try not to hold that against me though
My road to redemption has no GPS
So guess the time must be invested for this to be manifested
Yes it's hard living life in the spotlight
Trying to dodge the haters same time as the cop light
The bible say "let he without sin cast the stone first" (stone first)
The sinner or the one who judged him, who was wrong first?
Yeah he go to work, never done no drugs or to be fair
He just drink his liquor, touch his kids, beat his wife instead
Difference is, my shortcomings hit the media
Thanks to TMZ, the AJC and Wikipedia
See the stairway to heaven while stepping down Jacob's ladder
My good outweigh the bad, God, ain't that what really matters, nope
A matter of fact I'm wrong but after that the good I've done in your hood
Should it overshadow that?
Got the World laughing at me for the moment
But it gonna be your turn 'fore it's over with
Even if you so legit that you get a house with a dog and a picket fence
The people with you then but when they turn on you remember this

And when they push you down, you got to get back up (I'm only human dawg)
And when they push you down, you got to get back up (I'm just a human dawg)

[Chorus:]
Brush the dirt off your jersey then go for the cup
Or the trophy or the ring, champion no matter what
Cause when you got the belt and the ring
People with ya popping bottles, taking pictures look around
As soon as you fall down all the haters pass a judgement
Surprise, I'm here to show that I'ma rise above this

[Chris Brown:]
Hello, out there
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Can you (hear you)
Hello, out there,
Can you hear me
You gotta get you
You gotta gotta believe in me
Hey

[T.I.:]
I accept full responsibility for the all the wrong I've done
If y'all thought I were perfect
I apologise for being human man
But never again partner
You can put my life on that

[Chorus]
And when they push you down, you got to get back up (I'm only human dawg)
And when they push you down, you got to get back up (I'm just a human dawg)
Brush the dirt off your jersey then go for the cup
Or the trophy or the ring, champion no matter what
Cause when you got the belt and the ring
People with ya popping bottles, taking pictures look around
As soon as you fall down all the haters pass a judgement
Surprise, I'm here to show that I'ma rise above this

Hello, out there (and you can love me, or you can leave me)
Can you here me? (before you judge me, just let me be me)
Its an SOS (and you can love me or either leave me)
To let me be me (before you judge me, see life ain't easy)
