Human Beings


Human beings are

Interesting creatures

Covering up their scars

Having flaws complimented by amazing feautures

Some have homes, others on the streets

Some are straight, BI, gay

Some drop bombs, others drop beats

Humanity needs Jesus, everyone give God praise

Girls dress... dress to impress

Impress who?

Outer beauty rarely leads you to success

You're just impressing some low life fool

Always quick to judge

Claims to forgive and forget

Yet we hold a grudge

Our mind is already set

I mean we live in an age where kids carry grenades in their pockets

See, I'm very aware of the world we live in

Israeli Palestinian conflicts

We're just chasing dividends

All about shoes, fitteds, and snapbacks

Maintaining that level of "swag"

I'll get you a snapback for free, McDonalds is hiring relax

Swag swag swag and then the pants start to sag

Bands make her dance?

Facebook got her to twerk?

Come on what's her future plans?

You know a real job, a real place to work

Everyone wants to make money and not do hard work

Everybody wants to go to heaven but no one wanrs to die

Claim to be nice yet they always wear that smirk

Everyone wants the truth yet everyone lies
