Hopsin - What's My Purpose? lyrics

[Intro:] Planet Earth The place that I live... we live Who owns it? You? Nah... nobody owns this sh** Just a big a** piece of rock with humans on it Do what the f** I wanna do [Verse 1:] A lost human born into a dark society With what mind state? There's no variety, moving vibrantly Trying to be the best that I can be I've tried to see the light in living life but it just blinded me — irony Now I'm thinking violently Because I feel my country went and lied to me It's bringin out a whole new f**in side to me Ride with me If you feel my pain then you can cry with me This f**in shady system is the rivalry They the ones who raised us, turned us into cage nuts They're what we're afraid of, they are why we ain't us They the reason we constantly livin for money and we just can't budge It's taking a toll on your dreams, so you gave up And now the pain stuck They ain't showin nothin but fake love We just numbers put on a pay stub Our purpose shouldn't be to make bucks We all slaves and if we never make a change then we straight f**ed [Hook:] I can't stand humans, I hate humans But I'm a human (I'm only human) One monkey eats sh**, now all the other monkeys wanna do it Humans are so stupid Don't bring your bull sh** around me, you f**in human The problem is k**in my mind God give me a sign, maybe I'm trippin Tell me this life is worth livin [Verse 2:] Who set the standard for everybody to live by? How far along in life would you be if you did try? Who's tryin to help these ghetto neighborhoods where kids die? This world has turned into a mother f**in pigsty I look outside and it disgusts me It bugs me, it's ugly I trust no other f**in human but me So what needs - to be done? Every day is a rerun Technology is advanced As people, how far have we come? Yeah, I can see the time's grown But still I'm mind blown Cause everybody's mind is stuck inside they iPhone They always textin and postin statuses hourly But in reality, there's no sign of a personality, it's cowardly We shielded like we scared to get some allergies The human being is what we don't know how to be And honestly these issues really s** to know But I refuse to sit and let the trouble grow So God, show me where the f** to go [Hook] [Verse 3:] How can a man with power feel there's no responsibility? These rappers blowin up, but through my eyes they not as real to me They constantly conceal the beast, but never try to heal the streets Teaching girls to be a s*ut, but never make em feel unique How can we feel fine this way? Open up your minds today The matrix got you young Owin a debt you'll spend your life to pay, stressed out Assuming that you'll be more happier inside your grave Don't tell me you don't got no f**ing struggle, n***a cause I know pain To the point where I felt like life was sh** Growing up as a kid with both parents Who got no funds to ever provide you with sh** is just stuck repeatin The world is tough to be in Munching on fast food Don't even know what the f** I'm eatin America, I gave it my all Still you guys arrested me for bein black and standin on a sidewalk It doesn't matter if I'm breakin laws or bein harmless I'm automatically hated by cops cause my dark skin God was my smartest option My soul is mine, ya'll ain't gonna bargain off it Cause if you do that means the darkness profits The sky is where I got my heart adopted Man, if we all just took the time to think I swear it won't be hard to stop this But ya'll a**ume that I'm just startin nonsense But I promise ya'll the f**in world is gon remember Marcus Hopson There's consequences for enlightenment But if I have to hide the truth to live Then I'mma die just like my idols did [Hook]
