Whistles, tongue clicks and super slick vocal delivery make up this clever number by the 25-year-old singer and rapper from Philadelphia who has her own uniquely eccentric and humorous style. Her debut album, Whack World, was released in 2018, but this new single heralds a much anticipated second. Out on
You got to be the one that people lookin' up to
I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (I try, I try, I try)
You got to be the one that people lookin' up to
I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (I try, I try, I try)
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, yeah
I'm not perfect, just a person
I'm only human, yeah
Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous
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 roam
I had to figure certain things out on my own
Make a phone call home to the ones I love
Shit crazy out here, have you high on drugs
To be real man, I thought about pullin' the plug
So I can go fly high with the ones above
Yeah
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
You got to be the one that people lookin' up to
I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (I try, I try, I try)
You got to be the one that people lookin' up to
I tried to reach the sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (I try, I try, I try)
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, yeah
I'm not perfect, just a person
I'm only human, yeah
Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous
The pros and the cons of bein' the bomb
Baby, you can have the tick, it 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 yellin', "Yo, that's a brave nigga"
Paparazzi takin' pictures like I'm in a cage, nigga
I don't wanna be judged, I just wanna be me (Damn, damn, damn)
Even though we buy chains, we just wanna be free (Damn, damn, damn)
I don't wanna be judged, I just wanna be me (Damn, damn, damn)
We just wanna be free (Damn)
You got to be the one that people lookin' up to
I tried to reach the Sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (I try, I try, I try)
You got to be the one that people lookin' up to
I tried to reach the Sun but gum is stuck to my shoes (I try, I try, I try)
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, yeah
I'm not perfect, just a person
I'm only human, yeah
Sometimes happy, sometimes nervous
