Lyrics

I'm only, I'm only human, dawg Hello out there (I'm only human, dawg) Can you hear me? (I'm only human, dawg) It's an S.O.S (I'm only human, dawg) To let me be me (ay, listen to me, ay, ay, ay) Ay, when they push you down, you got to get back up (I'm only human, dawg) When they push you down, you got to get back up (I'm just a human, y'all) Push 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 you poppin' bottles, takin' pictures, look around (yeah, yeah, yeah) But soon as you fall down, all the haters passin' judgement (oh, no, no) Fly as I'm is, shawty, I'ma rise above this Hey, what it is, world? (Ay) yeah, it's me again Back before you, at your mercy, on bended knee again No runnin' from the truth (nah), 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 lettin' you down, I won't take you down this road again (uh-uh) Most of you now sayin', "Whatever, here we go again" (what?)

Point your finger now with me (now) lookin' down (down) Same clown that was Twit-pickin' at my weddin' (ay) On the same Twitter page, disrespectin', wait a second (Hold up) Never mind my imperfections, this a fact, remember that No mistake's too great to recover and bounce back Ay, when they push you down, you got to get back up (I'm only human, dawg) When they push you down, you got to get back up (I'm just a human, y'all) Push the dirt off your jersey then go for the cup (oh, no, no, oh, no, no) Or the trophy, or the ring, champion no matter what 'Cause when you got the belt, and the ring People with you poppin' bottles, takin' pictures, look around (yeah, yeah, yeah) But soon as you fall down, all the haters passin' judgement (oh, no, no, no, no) Fly as I'm is, shawty, I'ma rise above this I admit, yeah, I done some dumb sh- Disappointed erry'body, I know (damn) Try not to hold that against me though (ay) My road to redemption has no GPS So yes, the time must be invested for this to be manifested (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Yes, it's hard livin' life in the spotlight Tryna dodge the haters, same time as the cop light (whoop) 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? (Huh) Yeah, he go to work, never done no drugs up until the Fed He just drink his liquor, touch his kids, beat his wife instead (damn) Difference is my shortcomings hit the media Thanks to TMZ, the AJC, and Wikipedia (what?) See the stairway to Heaven while steppin' down Jacob's ladder My good outweigh the bad, God, ain't that what really matter? (Nope) And matter of fact, I'm wrong, but after that The good I done in your hood, should it over-shadow that? (Shadow) Yeah, the world laughin' at me for the moment But it gonna be your turn 'fore it's over with, even if you're so legit That you get a house with a dog and a picket fence (ay, ay, ay) The people with you then, but when they turn on you, remember this Ay, when they push you down, you got to get back up (I'm only human, dawg) When they push you down, you got to get back up (I'm just a human, y'all) Push the dirt off your jersey, then go for the cup (ay, ay) Or the trophy, or the ring, champion no matter what 'Cause when you got the belt, and the ring People with you poppin' bottles, takin' pictures, look around (yeah, yeah, yeah) But soon as you fall down, all the haters passin' judgement (oh, no, no, no, no) Fly as I'm is, shawty, I'ma rise above this Hello out there (hello out there) (Can you hear me?)
