2 Human
Json Lyrics

Yes, I'm an artist
I am a creative person who makes music.

But I'm not just music
However, my identity is not limited to my musical talents.

A voice on a record
My voice is present on the music I record.

Only I'm a human
But ultimately, I am a person with complex emotions and experiences.

So let me let you in
I want to share my struggles and pain with you.

Let you see the strain and the hurt
I want to show you the difficult side of my life that comes with my fame.

And the pain, yes it comes with the fame
I acknowledge that being famous has its own set of challenges, including pain.

But I am not just an artist
However, I am more than just a musician.

Shut up to all the artists
I want to show support to fellow artists.

If there's a truth to us
If there is one thing that brings us together as artists, it is our humanity.

Hello to all the bloggers
I acknowledge the work of bloggers and appreciate their voice.

How you doing reviewers?
I acknowledge the role of reviewers and ask how they are doing.

You should know that we're human
I want bloggers and reviewers to remember that we artists are human beings.

And this voice that you listen
The voice you hear in my music belongs to a human being.

Is a husband and father
I am not just an artist but I am also a husband and father.

A brother, a Christian
I am also a brother and a person of faith.

The stage I've been given
I acknowledge that I am privileged to perform on the stage.

It ain't gold cause it glitter
I understand that the glamour of the stage is not everything.

Know what it's like when people judge
I know how it feels when people judge me based on social media.

Like they know you from Twitter
People tend to make assumptions about me from my Twitter account.

Or even Facebook
Or even based on my Facebook presence.

Jaysus making a lie
Some people spread lies about me, such as accusing me of being part of a secret society.

He's just a fake
Those accusations are not true and I am not the person they say I am.

I hit him up
I tried to reach out to confront my accusers.

He ain't never reply
But they did not respond to me.

I, I've been gone but not on vacation
I have been absent for a while but it was not because of a leisure trip.

And I get home, the wife here's got the baby waiting
When I returned home, my wife was waiting with our baby.

My sunny got a gain
My son has an important event that I cannot attend.

I've been booked for a show
But I have to attend a show for my job.

This is our bread and butter
Performing is my main source of income.

It means I gotta go
So I have to leave and prioritize my job.

No, and I ain't asking for sympathy
I want people to know that I am not seeking pity.

I'm just asking for grace and prayer
I am asking for support and understanding.

Remember me
I hope people will remember me beyond my music.

I'm some of what you hear
But what people hear in my music is only a part of me.

Portions of what you see
What people see in interviews or on social media is also only a portion of me.

No, I'm not just music
Again, I want to emphasize that I am not just a musician.

We, we are not just what you don't wanna see deep
Artists are complex people and there is more to us than what people may want to see.

I am just me, I'm human
Ultimately, I am a person and I make mistakes and have flaws like any other human.

You ain't really real no more
Some people may see me as fake or not genuine anymore.

You only making music
They may think that I am only concerned with making music.

You fool really feel no more
They may believe that I have lost touch with my emotions.

You used to print your whole sermon in your songs
They may remember a time when I included more explicit messages in my music.

Now you sounding kinda watered down
They may think my recent music is not as strong as my old work.

Man what's going on?
They may wonder what has changed or what is happening with me.

Homie I had to mature
I have grown and evolved in my life and work.

I have so many issues at heart
I have faced many personal struggles and challenges.

Thought they're screaming into my heart
However, my pain and struggles have inspired my music.

Made me better, set me apart
And I have become a better artist because of my adversities.

If I never get to make another rebel, it's cool
I am not attached to making a certain type of music and am okay with exploring new genres.

That was a season in my life that is settled
I view my past work as a stage of my life that has ended.

And I live a new season
I am now in a new phase of my life.

Growing as a man
I am also evolving as a person and cultivating my identity as a man.

I'd have been around a world
I have traveled extensively around the world.

And starting my own family
I have also started a family.

I've seen a lot of things
Through my travels and experiences, I have seen a lot of the world.

I'd have been though it
And I have been able to overcome my personal struggles.

Know their characters more than the things you know and what you do
I want people to see me and other artists beyond their work and to understand us as individuals with unique personalities.

Who you calling Illuminati?
I want to challenge those who may see me or other artists as part of a secret society.

Not me, I got me
I am not part of a secret society and am true to myself.

Confused with someone who not me
I don't want anyone to think that I am someone I am not.

And if my songs don't define me
My music may not fully capture who I am as a person.

Interviews are a piece
Interviews and appearances only show a small part of my identity.

So you don't really know me when you see me in the streets
People cannot fully understand who I am simply by seeing me out in public.

My respect to the streets
I want to show respect to the people and culture of the streets.

I hear and I listen
I am paying attention to feedback and criticism.

But it's good
Criticism can be beneficial for growth.

We all entitled to our own opinions (true)
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

I embrace your critique
I am open to constructive criticism.

And I'm open to challenge
I am also open to challenges that help me grow.

Let there be grace and truth so I can receive it with balance
I hope that people can provide me criticism with kindness and honesty, so I can learn from it.

I ain't angry or mad
I am not resentful or upset.

Know the purpose for real
I want people to know that I am sincere in my intentions.

Is that you see me as a person
I want people to see me beyond my work and see me as a person who is capable of making mistakes.

I hurt and I feel
I also want people to recognize that I have emotions and can be affected by criticism or negativity.

You hit me up
I want to communicate with my fans.

I wish I could chop it and build with ya
I want to engage in a constructive conversation with my fans.

I'm honest with my life
I try to be honest in my personal life and in my music.

This is not a real picture
However, social media may not always reflect an accurate portrayal of my life.

So if we come off cocky or arrogant even, forgive us
I acknowledge that I or others may come off as confident or overbearing and I hope people can forgive that.

We're fallen people
We are all susceptible to flaws and imperfections.

Still growing in Jesus
As a person of faith, I am still growing and developing my relationship with God.

The difference is when they like you and think you rhyme tight
People may treat me differently depending on how popular my music is.

When you fall they throw us all in the lime light
And when an artist experiences difficulties, the public often shines the spotlight on them.
