Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (Oh yeah)
I tried to reach the sun, but gum is stuck to my shoes (Yeah yeah)
You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (Oh yeah)
I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (Yeah yeah)
[Verse 2]
I'm only human, yeah (I'm not perfect, just a person)
I'm only human, yeah (Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous)
I'm only human (I'm not perfect, just a person)
I'm only human, yeah (Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous)
[Verse 3]
I'm new to this game, I ain't been here long
So forgive me if I get this wrong
I get lost sometimes, Italy I Rome
I had to figure certain things on my own
Make a phone call home to the ones I love
Shit crazy out here, have you high off drugs
To be real man, I thought about pulling the plug
So I can go fly high with the ones above
Yeah
[Verse 4]
I don't wanna be judged, I just wanna be me
Even though we buy chains, we just wanna be free
I don't wanna be judged, I just wanna be me
We just wanna be free
[Verse 5]
You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (Oh yeah)
I tried to reach the sun, but gum is stuck to my shoes (Yeah yeah)
You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (Oh yeah)
I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (Yeah yeah)
[Verse 6]
I'm only human, yeah (I'm not perfect, just a person)
I'm only human, yeah (Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous)
I'm only human (I'm not perfect, just a person)
I'm only human, yeah (Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous)
[Verse 7]
The pros and the cons of being the bomb
Baby, you can have the ticket, might not be your time
But often times I gotta remind myself to combine my thoughts
And never deny my health
A whole lot richer and a whole lot quicker
But I had to slow it down, 'cause I ain't no grave digger
White folks yelling "Yo, that's a brave ****"
Paparazzi taking pictures like I'm in a cage, ****
[Verse 8]
I don't wanna be judged, I just wanna be me
Even though we buy chains, we just wanna be free
I don't wanna be judged, I just wanna be me
We just wanna be free
[Verse 9]
You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (Oh yeah)
I tried to reach the sun, but gum is stuck to my shoes (Yeah yeah)
You got to be the one the people lookin' up to (Oh yeah)
I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (Yeah yeah)
[Verse 10]
I'm only human, yeah (I'm not perfect, just a person)
I'm only human, yeah (Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous)
I'm only human (I'm not perfect, just a person)
I'm only human, yeah (Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous)
