Only Human Lyrics

I said momma don't cry no more
She said baby don't lie no more, tell me the truth
When you gon' come back home?
I said listen momma I don't know I'm only human [2x]

Poor momma spent 4 years praying for a daughter.
When she asked god for a girl I don't think I am what she thought of.
Cause' my whole life i did nothing else except fault her.
Even to this day i don't live the way that I was brought up.
See I got caught up in a different kind of life.
She ain't raise me wrong but I found a different kind of right.
And my brother moved back home and they always tryna fight.
So I packed my shit and dipped cuz it was getting kinda tight.
I became a hussla's wife on the other side of town.
She start to wonder why I never come around.
Cause' I'm too busy chasing different highs in different towns.
And if she ever saw me how that would really bring her down.
So what now? too much time has passed by
And I don't wanna see it if I gotta see her cry.
My brother steady calling tryna tell me I should try,
To ease her before we run out of time
Run out of time? that ain't right she here forever.
In my mind she never dies and I mean never.
So I got plenty time to make it better.
But everytime she try to fix it I can never let her.

I said baby don't cry no more
She said momma don't lie no more, tell me the truth.
When you gon' come back home?
I said listen baby i don't know im only human. [2x]

I look in her face and her gaze puts me in my place.
Cause' every second I ain't with her it's another second waste.
And I don't like the way it tastes bitter sweet sour days.
Working hour after hour tryna keep her laced in J's.
But what a fucking waste, waste of money, waste of time, cause'
She'd go barefoot just to have me home at night.
It's bad enough her daddy couldn't do shit if he tried.
So the only parent she got left is taken by a nine to five.
Make that nine to nine these checks don't cut it.
So what if everything in me tells me I should just say say fuck it?
I'll just keep mopping floors and let my tears fall in this bucket.
Cause' my daughter at home thinking how the fuck she say she love me, when
She aint never here and she always drop me off,
At another mother fuckers house and she don't even call.
No she don't care at all she just wanna get that money.
But what good is the cash if i can't trade it for her lovin'?

I said baby don't cry no more
She said momma don't lie no more, tell me the truth.
When you gon' come back home?
I said listen baby i don't know im only human.
I said momma don't cry no more
She said baby don't lie no more, tell me the truth.
When you gon' come back home?
I said listen momma I don't know I'm only human.
