Hopsin - What's My Purpose

Planet Earth
The place that I live... we live
Who owns it? You?
Nah... nobody owns this shit
Just a big ass piece of rock with humans on it
Do what the fuck I wanna do

A lost human born into a dark society
With what mind state?
There's no variety, moving vibrantly
Trying to be the best that I can be
I've tried to see the light in living life but it just blinded me — irony
Now I'm thinking violently
Because I feel my country went and lied to me
It's bringin out a whole new fuckin side to me
Ride with me
If you feel my pain then you can cry with me
This fuckin shady system is the rivalry
They the ones who raised us, turned us into cage nuts
They're what we're afraid of, they are why we ain't us
They the reason we constantly livin for money and we just can't budge
It's taking a toll on your dreams, so you gave up
And now the pain stuck
They ain't showin nothin but fake love
We just numbers put on a pay stub
Our purpose shouldn't be to make bucks
We all slaves and if we never make a change then we straight fucked

I can't stand humans, I hate humans
But I'm a human (I'm only human)
One monkey eats shit, now all the other monkeys wanna do it
Humans are so stupid
Don't bring your bull shit around me, you fuckin human
The problem is killin my mind
God give me a sign, maybe I'm trippin
Tell me this life is worth livin

Who set the standard for everybody to live by?
How far along in life would you be if you did try?
Who's tryin to help these ghetto neighborhoods where kids die?
This world has turned into a mother fuckin pigsty
I look outside and it disgusts me
It bugs me, it's ugly
I trust no other fuckin human but me
So what needs - to be done?
Every day is a rerun
Technology is advanced
As people, how far have we come?
Yeah, I can see the time's grown
But still I'm mind blown
Cause everybody's mind is stuck inside they iPhone
They always textin and postin statuses hourly
But in reality, there's no sign of a personality, it's cowardly
We shielded like we scared to get some allergies
The human being is what we don't know how to be
And honestly these issues really suck to know
But I refuse to sit and let the trouble grow
So God, show me where the fuck to go

How can a man with power feel there's no responsibility?
These rappers blowin up, but through my eyes they not as real to me
They constantly conceal the beast, but never try to heal the streets
Teaching girls to be a slut, but never make em feel unique
How can we feel fine this way?
Open up your minds today
The matrix got you young
Owin a debt you'll spend your life to pay, stressed out
Assuming that you'll be more happier inside your grave
Don't tell me you don't got no fucking struggle, nigga cause I know pain
To the point where I felt like life was shit
Growing up as a kid with both parents
Who got no funds to ever provide you with
Shit is just stuck repeatin
The world is tough to be in
Munching on fast food
Don't even know what the fuck I'm eatin
America, I gave it my all
Still you guys arrested me for bein black and standin on a sidewalk
It doesn't matter if I'm breakin laws or bein harmless
I'm automatically hated by cops cause my dark skin
God was my smartest option
My soul is mine, ya'll ain't gonna bargain off it
Cause if you do that means the darkness profits
The sky is where I got my heart adopted
Man, if we all just took the time to think
I swear it won't be hard to stop this
But ya'll assume that I'm just startin nonsense
But I promise ya'll the fuckin world is gon remember Marcus Hopson
There's consequences for enlightenment
But if I have to hide the truth to live
Then I'mma die just like my idols did
