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
