[Intro: T.I.] I'm only, I'm only human dog I'm only human dog (X3) Ay, ay listen to me
[Interlude: Chris Brown] Hello, out there Can you, hear me? It's an S.O.S To let me, be me
[Hook T.I. & Chris Brown] Ay when they push you down you got to (get back up) I'm only human y'all Ay when they push you down you got to (get back up) I'm just a human y'all Push the dirt, off your jersey then go for the cup Or the trophy, or the ring, champion no matter what Cause when you got the belt, and the ring People with you poppin bottles, takin pictures, look around But soon as you fall down all the haters passin judgment (ohh no no) Fly as I'm is shawty I'mma rise above this (ohh no no no no)
[Verse 1] Hey what it is world? Yeah it's me again Back before you, at your mercy, on bended knee again No runnin from the truth, as much as we pretend That it ain't what it is, then it hits CNN Apologies to my fans and my closest friends (I'm sorry) For lettin you down, I won't take you down this road again (uh-uh) Most of you now sayin "Whatever, here we go again" Blogs, radio and television all goin in I laugh to keep from crying through all of the embarrassment (I gotta say) I gotta say you fuckin haters is hilarious (ha ha) How dare you sit right there and act as if you holier than thou? Point your finger now with me looking down (down) Same clown that was Twitpicing at my wedding On the same Twitter page disrespecting, wait a second Never mind my imperfections, this a fact, remember that No mistake's too great to recover and bounce back
[Hook]
[Verse 2] I admit, yeah I done some dumb shit, disappointed e'rybody I know Try not to hold that against me though My road to redemption has no GPS So guess that time must be invested for this to be manifested Yes it's, hard livin life in the spotlight Trying to dodge the haters same time as the cop light The Bible say "Let he without sin cast the stone first" (stone first) The sinner or the one who judged him, who was wrong first? Yea he go to work, never done no drugs up until the Fed He just drink his liquor, touch his kids, beat his wife instead (damn) Difference is my shortcomings hit the media Thanks to TMZ, the AJC and Wikipedia See the stairway to heaven while steppin down Jacob's ladder My good outweigh the bad, God ain't that what really matter? (nope) And matter fact, I'm wrong but after that The good I done in yo' hood, should it over-shadow that? Got the world laughin at me for the moment But it gonna be your turn 'fore it's over with, even if you're so legit That you get a house with a dog and a picket fence The people with you then but when they turn on you remember this
