You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (aw yeah)
I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (I tried, I tried, I tried, yeah-yeah)
You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (aw yeah)
I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (I tried, I tried, I tried, yeah-yeah)

I'm only human
I'm not perfect, just a person (yeah)
I'm only human
Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous
I'm only human
I'm not perfect, just a person
I'm only human
Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous (yeah)

I'm new to this game I ain't been here long
So forgive me if I get this wrong
I get lost sometimes
Italy, I roam
Had to figure certain things on my own
Make a phone call home to the ones I love
Shit crazy out here, have you high on drugs
To be real
Man, I thought about pulling the plug
So I can go fly high with the ones above

Yeah, I don't wanna be judged
I just wanna be me
Even though we buy chains
We just wanna be free
I don't wanna be judged
I just wanna be me
We just wanna be free

You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (aw yeah)
I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (I tried, I tried, I tried, yeah-yeah)
You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (aw yeah)

I'm not perfect, just a person (yeah)
I'm only human
Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous (yeah)
I'm only human
I'm not perfect, just a person
I'm only human
Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous (yeah)

The pros and the cons of being the bomb
Baby, you can have the tick it might not be your time
But, often times I gotta remind myself
To combine my thoughts and never deny my health
A whole lot richer and a whole lot quicker
But I had to slow it down 'cause I ain't no grave digger (ching-ching, ching-ching)
White folks yelling, "Yo, that's a brave nigga"
Paparazzi taking pictures like I'm in a cage nigga (woo)

I don't wanna be judged
I just wanna be me
Even though we buy chains
We just wanna be free
I don't wanna be judged
I just wanna be me
We just wanna be free

You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (aw yeah)
Yeah, I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (I tried, I tried, I tried, yeah-yeah)

I'm only human
Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous (yeah)
I'm only human
I'm not perfect, just a person
I'm only human
Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous (yeah)
