Human Nature

Do you ever sit back kick back and wonder? Is this the real me or a spell I am under? Making blunders Running for cover when I hear the thunder Underneath it all never fear the call Of the natural state informing what's nurtured Happy outside, inside tortured 'Til I retrieve My ability to be a realer me Heal the tree Wipe the blood from the roots Let the branches be free in the wind Heal the wounds shake the noose Set loose by my ancestors Will we collectively forgive or leave them festering forever? Rendering our elders irrelevant, whatever Is it room for human error Why so many live in terror? Of debt collectors and oppressors Depression and the weather Blind mice and men in pursuit of pleasure Oh, it's just in my nature I said I'd do it now but I'll prolly do it later Oh, it's just in my nature Wanna fuck, eat, sleep and party 'til I meet my maker Oh but it's also my nature To see my reflection in the eyes of a stranger So is that human nature? We all different but we come from the same earth Shake the curse off Are we worse off Since the first man found a flock and a field A sword and a shield asking other men to yield He said she said who says what's real? Peel back the layers Check your notifications Is that capacity for love, or a need for validation? While the news feed bleeds innoculation Speaks to a monstrous nation Running on the tick tock slave to the clock Is our species defined by Headlines 'bout pipelines Deadlines and blood lines Poison on the lunch line But that's only sometimes Inconsistent when existence is resistant it's met only with persistence Hold up, check the pulse Do you feel that way too? 'Cause it's natural for me to wanna connect with you Express something that relates Illuminates a human fate Greater than escaping nature man versus ape A miracle we still find bliss amidst the stress We all make excuses let me get mine off my chest Let me get it off my chest Oh, it's just in my nature I said I'd do it now but I'll prolly do it later Oh, it's just in my nature Wanna fuck, eat, sleep and party 'til I meet my maker Oh but it's also my nature To see my reflection in the eyes of a stranger So is that human nature? We all different but we come from the same earth Where did we come from? Where will we go? Nobody knows These questions with no answers Just a chance at life One shot We've all got this body just for a moment So what will you do? Will you rise to the occasion? And let your nature Your true nature Shine through
