What's My Purpose - Hopsin

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

A lost human born into a dark society

With one mind state, there’s no variety

Movin' vibrantly, tryin' to be the best that I can be

I’ve tried to see the light in livin' life but it just blinded me… irony

Now I’m thinkin' violently, because I feel my country went and lied to me

It’s bringin' out a whole new fuckin' side to me

Ride with me, if you feel my pain then you can cry with 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 takin' 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 fucked

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 (Fuckin' human)

The problem is killin' my mind, God, give me a sign

Maybe I’m trippin', tell me this life is worth livin'

Who set the standard for everybody to live by?

How far along in life would you be if you did try?

Who 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 fuckin' human but me

So what needs, to be done?

Every day is a rerun

Technology’s advanced, as people how far have we come?

Yeah, I can see that 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 suck to know

But I refuse to sit and let the trouble grow, so God, show me where the fuck to

go

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 (Fuckin' human)

The problem is killin' my mind, God, give me a sign

Maybe I’m trippin', tell me this life is worth livin'

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 happy inside your grave

Don’t tell me about no fuckin' struggle then, 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 with

Shit is just stuck repeatin', 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 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, y’all 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 y’all assume that I’m just startin' nonsense

But I promise y’all the fuckin' 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

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 (Fuckin' human)

The problem is killin' my mind, God, give me a sign

Maybe I’m trippin', tell me this life is worth livin'
