Only Human

(album: Restoration - 2020)

Da-da
Da-da-da, da

Please forgive me if I mess up
Knowing that You watching, so much pressure
Still God I thank, I'll never let up
So everyday when I see the sun come up I'ma say
Let's get it (Yeah)
Get it done, everyday proving that I'm still Your son
If you hear me, and you with me
Heaven not too far, far as I can tell
You just gotta go through a little hell

Ain't no prescription for my brokeness
No pills for hopelessness
I still pop them, tryna cope with it
I cry from loneliness
Devil played his part and played me
I'm foolish, grew too lazy
God said, "Take heed lest you fall"
But I'm such an October baby
Need you to hold me down (Down)
World tryna slow me down (Down)
Know me now
Know my vices, kryptonites
They entice me till I slowly drown
Now I'm on holy ground
Can't fight these battles alone
They after my home
They after my mind
They after my time
You said I'm an heir
They after the throne
I thought I was running from demons
But maybe I'm running from me
And my tether is roaming
Running from clones
We talking 'bout running the city
But most of us running from home
Running from trauma and poverty
I hit the lottery
I thought they'd leave me alone
Look at me, richer than ever
But poor as a beggar
When you look inside of my soul
Broke the sacred rules
And paid a lot of dues, oh my soul
Almost lost my family
Drank the devil's juice, oh my soul
Thought I was immune
A superhuman fool, oh my soul
If I lose my life somehow
I still don't lose, oh my soul

Please forgive me if I mess up
Knowing that You watching, so much pressure
Still God I thank, I'll never let up
So everyday when I see the sun come up I'ma say
Let's get it (Yeah)
Get it done, everyday proving that I'm still Your son
If you hear me, and you with me
Heaven not too far, far as I can tell
You just gotta go through a little hell

Oh my God, how'd I beat the odds?
How I beat the charge?
Oh my God, how you make the moon?
How you speak the stars?
Oh my God, when they see my flaws
They gon' call me fraud
I was lost, blinded by applause
Now I know my calling
Said I admit it
I'm counting the minutes
They coming to get it
Go tell them I'm with it
They killed a Messiah
They don't have no limits
So what they gon' do to me?
Give me my sentence
Or hit me with venom
I don't have opinions
All I got is patience
And a couple pennies
I ain't independent
Leaning on the spirit
I know we gon' win it
So go hang the pennants
I was in a mansion going out my mind
Had the doctors on the line
Wifey crying, momma crying
We'll be fine, know I'm lying
I ain't wanna live, My babies need me live
Come too far to shut my eyes
But all this pain, I can't survive
But God said, hold up
I got it, I do this
He lifted my head up
And help me get to it
He gave me the beauty for ashes, I blew it
I thought I was ruined
He started renewing
I look at my life, I'm like, "What is you doing?"
He look at my life, He like, "Already knew it
And yet I still love you
I'm walking you through it
Your actions are foolish
But I know you're human" (Human)

Please forgive me if I mess up
Knowing that You watching, so much pressure
Still God I thank, I'll never let up
So everyday when I see the sun come up I'ma say
Let's get it (Yeah)
Get it done, everyday proving that I'm still Your son
If you hear me, and you with me
Heaven not too far, far as I can tell
You just gotta go through a little hell
