Only Human

Intro: BJ the Chicago Kid

Da-da

Da-da-da, da

Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid

Please forgive me if I mess up

Knowing that you watch is so much pressure

Still God I thank, I'll never let up (Let up)

So every day when I see the sun come up, I'ma say, let's get it

Get it done, every day

Provin' that I'm still Your son

If You hear me and You're with me

Heaven not too far, far as I can tell

You just gotta go through a little Hell

Verse 1: Lecrae

Ain't no prescription for my brokenness, no pills for hopelessness

I still pop them tryna cope with it, I cry from loneliness

Devil played his part and played me, I'm foolish, grew too lazy

God say, "Take heed lest you fall," but I'm such an October baby

Need you to hold me down (Down)

World tryna slow me down (Down), know me now

Know my vices, kryptonites, they entice me 'til I slowly drown

Now I'm on holy ground

Can't fight these battles alone, they after my home

They after my mind, they after my time

You said, "I'm an heir" they after the throne

I thought I was running from demons, but maybe I'm running from me and my tether is roamin', running from clones

We talking 'bout running the city, but most of us running from home

Running from trauma and poverty, I hit the lottery, I thought they'd leave me alone

Look at me, richer than ever, but poor as a beggar when you look inside of my soul

Broke the sacred rules and paid a lot of dues on my soul (Soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul)

Almost lost my family, drank the Devil's juice on my soul (Soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul)

Thought I was immune a superhuman, fool on my soul (Soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul)

If I lose my life somehow, I still don't lose on my soul (Soul)

Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid

Please forgive me if I mess up

Knowing that you watch is so much pressure

Still God I thank, I'll never let up (Let up)

So every day when I see the sun come up, I'ma say, let's get it

Get it done, every day

Provin' that I'm still Your son

If You hear me and You're with me

Heaven not too far, far as I can tell

You just gotta through a little Hell

Verse 2: Lecrae

Oh my God, how I beat the odds? How I beat the charge?

Oh my God, how You make the moon? How You speak the stars?

Oh my God, when they see my flaws, they gon' call me fraud

I was lost, blinded by applause, now I know my calling

Said I admit it, I'm countin' the minutes

They comin' to get it, go tell 'em I'm with it

They killed the Messiah, they don't have no limits

So what they gon' do to me? Give me my sentence

Or hit me with venom, I don't have opinions

All I got is patience and a couple pennies

I ain't independent, leanin' on the spirit

I know we gon' win it, so go hang the pennants

I was in a mansion goin' out my mind

Had the doctors on the line

Wifey cryin', momma cryin', we'll be fine, know I'm lyin'

I ain't wanna live, my babies need me live

Come too far to shut my eyes

But all this pain, I can't survive

But God said "Hol' up, I got it, I do this" (Yeah, yeah)

He lifted my head up then helped me get to it

He gave me the beauty for ashes, I blew it (Yeah, yeah)

I thought I was ruined, He started renewin'

I look at my life, I'm like, "What is You doin'?" (Yeah, yeah)

He look at my life, He like, "Already knew it"

And yet I still love you, I'm walking you through it (Yeah, yeah)

Your actions are foolish but I know you human (Human, human)

Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid

Please forgive me if I mess up

Knowing that you watch is so much pressure

Still God I thank, I'll never let up (Let up)

So everyday when I see the sun come up, I'ma say, let's get it

Get it done, every day

Provin' that I'm still Your son

If You hear me and You're with me

Heaven not too far, far as I can tell

You just gotta through a little Hell
