Adian Coker - Human Nature lyrics

Verse 1 They told me living life is half the battle Tryna stay on mounted saddle Grew up in too deep my n******gs out at sea without a paddle Crooked goon or born with silver spoon We all end in the gravel Tryna touch the youth but they gon do me like I'm Jimmy Saville Leroy boxing through the day Packed a punch like sugar ray Like leaves in Autumn breeze that's how his dreams just upped an blew away Blessings with that holy water only sought ta baptise Only so much you can rock the boat before it capsizes Burning effergies, got no energy for enemies Still tryna make a mill but we can't figure out the recipe Mother always told me if you do it do it by the book But she weren't at home so know them streets had taught me how to cook Learn it right, serve it right, stay in view while out of sight Sleeping through the day cause know we vamping through the summer nights Either way some gon' love ya some gon' hate ya Some be leaders, some believers Chalk it up to human nature Chorus Tryna make it real to me, in reality Knowing we don't believe in miracles Somehow we get through, trials and we get to Hoping time don't neglect you It'll take, all you have just to live it Living this life we push to the limit Cause we know, we can only go so far Knowing we only human Verse 2 Somewhere in between good and evil they tell me I pivot on that precipice Living's hard as hell wonder if dyings gon' be effortless My uncle was my father man I love him man he keep me humble We was broke as hell but sh** he never let my belly grumble Mother was Medusa know one look'll turn your a** to stone Taught me to succeed you know black people can be failure prone Working through these questions use my essence as a stepping stone We don't get no answers like a private caller on the phone Duffle coats is zipping, bucked up Moses at that Zenith Chicken None of my n******gs slipping on my watch, but sh** That time is ticking Time to make a move, tell my girl I love her we almost there Baby we gon' make it, run my fingers through her curly hair Meanwhile young black immigrants losing their innocence n******gs tried to k** they set fire to my residence Either way some gon' love you some gon' hate ya Some respect ya some'll tec ya lets just pray they don't forget ya Chorus Tryna make it real to me, in reality Knowing we don't believe in miracles Somehow we get through, trials and we get to Hoping time don't neglect you It'll take, all you have just to live it Living this life we push to the limit Cause we know, we can only go so far Knowing we only human Bridge Knowing the world just ain't fair Where do we run to, nowhere All that we've been through, laid bare Search and we find you Chorus Tryna make it real to me, in reality Knowing we don't believe in miracles Somehow we get through, trials and we get to Hoping time don't neglect you It'll take, all you have just to live it Living this life we push to the limit Cause we know, we can only go so far Knowing we only human
