Lyrics to What's My Purpose

[Intro]

Planet Earth

The place that I live

We live

Who owns it?

You?

Nah...nobody owns this shit

Just a big ass piece of rock with humans on it

Do what the fuck I wanna do

[Verse 1]

A lost human born into a dark society

With what mind state?

There's no variety

Movin' vibrantly

Tryna be the best that I can be

I've tried to see the light and live in life but it just blinded me, irony

Now I'm thinkin' violently

Because I feel my country went and lied to me

It's bringing out a whole new fucking side to me

Ride wit me

If you feel my pain then you can cry wit me

This fuckin' 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 ever make a change then we straight fucked

[Hook]

I can't stand humans, I hate humans

But I'm a human (I'm only human)

One monkey eats shit, now all the other monkeys wanna do it

Humans are so stupid

Don't bring your bull shit around me, you fuckin' human

The problem is killin' my mind

God give me 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 tryna help these ghetto neighborhoods where kids die?

This world has turned into a mother fuckin' pigsty

I look outside and it disgusts me

It bugs me, it's ugly

I trust no other fucking 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 their iPhone

They always textin' and postin' statuses hourly

But in reality, there's no sign of a personality

It's cowardly

We should live life, we scared to get some -ologies

The human being is what we don't know how to be

And honestly

These issues really suck to know

But I refuse to sit and let the trouble grow

So God, show me where the fuck to go!

[Hook]

I can't stand humans, I hate humans

But I'm a human (I'm only human)

One monkey eats shit, now all the other monkeys wanna do it

Humans are so stupid

Don't bring your bull shit around me, you fuckin' human

The problem is killin' my mind

God give me sign, maybe I'm trippin'

Tell me this life is worth livin'

[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

Teachin' girls to be a slut, 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

Assumin' that you'll be more happier inside your brain

Don't tell me you don't got no fuckin struggle, nigga cause I know pain

To the point where I felt like life was shit

Growin' up as a kid with both parents who got no funds to ever provide you wit

Should've just stuck with [?]

The world is tough to be in

Munchin' on fast food

Don't even know what the fuck I'm eatin'

America, I gave it my all

Still you guys arrested me for being black and standing on a sidewalk

It doesn't matter if I'm breaking laws or being 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 assume that I'm just startin' nonsense

But I promise ya'll the fuckin' world is gonna 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]

I can't stand humans, I hate humans

But I'm a human (I'm only human)

One monkey eats shit, now all the other monkeys wanna do it

Humans are so stupid

Don't bring your bull shit around me, you fuckin' human

The problem is killin' my mind

God give me sign, maybe I'm trippin'

Tell me this life is worth livin'
