Biological Speculation
Funkadelic Lyrics

We're just a biological speculation
We exist and function as biological beings, and our nature and purpose is yet to be fully understood.

Sittin' here, vibratin'
Existing and operating in our biological form, with our cells and organs functioning and interacting.

And we don't know what we're vibratin' about
Despite our capability to vibrate internally, we are uncertain about the purpose or meaning of this physical action.

And the animal instinct in me
Referring to the primal and natural impulses that guide our behavior and choices.

Makes me want to defend me
Our innate drive to protect ourselves and our interests, which is a product of our animalistic nature.

It makes me want to live when it's time to die
Our instinctual desire to survive, even in the face of death or danger, is deeply ingrained in our biological makeup.

Y'all see my point?
Asking the listener to understand and acknowledge their perspective on these matters.

I don't mean to come on strong but I am concerned
This line serves as a disclaimer that the artist is not trying to be forceful or aggressive, but rather share a genuine worry or fear they have.

I believe in God
An expression of religious or spiritual faith and belief in a higher power or force.

Though I know that law and order must prevail
Despite their belief in a higher power, the artist recognizes the importance and necessity for societal laws and regulations to maintain order and structure.

Oh, if and when the laws of man
Describing a hypothetical situation where human laws are unjust or unfair.

Is not just, equal and fair
When societal systems and laws don't operate with justice, equity or fairness in mind.

Then the laws of nature will come and do her thing
The idea that nature will ultimately restore balance and justice, even when human-made systems fail to do so.

Oh, she does not think
Personifying nature as an entity that doesn't operate with thoughts, but merely serves to bring balance and harmony.

She just rectifies
Nature acts as a force of correction or restitution, rather than with conscious intent or thought.

She comes and balances the book
Nature serves as a mechanism of accountability, restoring balance and order when a system or structure is unbalanced or unfair.

Some of you, you might not be aware
The artist points out that some people may be ignorant or oblivious to certain aspects of reality or societal issues.

That some of us don't eat
Not everyone has the resources or ability to acquire nourishment or sustenance.

Some of you don't, you don't even care
Acknowledging that some individuals are apathetic or indifferent to the suffering of others in regards to poverty or hunger.

Oh, if and when the system
Referring to a societal structure or apparatus that controls or regulates certain aspects of life, such as economics or politics.

Creates hunger and hate
When a system generates social or economic inequality, it can create feelings of resentment or hostility between individuals or groups.

Then the laws of nature will come and do her thing
Once again, emphasizing that nature will ultimately restore balance to an unbalanced system.

She works by instinct
Reiterating that nature carries out actions and reactions through an innate and intuitive sense of balance and harmony.

Survival is her thing
Nature operates with the fundamental goal of preservation and continuation of life and balance.
