[Hook:]
|
Everything I am, and everything I want to be
|
I put it in your hands, you could open up to me
|
Everything I am, and everything I want to be
|
I put it in your hands, you could open up to me
|
Oh don't we ever get beyond this wall
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
I am no role model, I am not Mr. Perfect
|
Been bitten a couple of times and I did deserve it
|
Everyday livin' and learnin' through these written verses
|
My life is a sacrifice, I wonder is it worth it?
|
People can change, I'm living physical proof
|
I'm not important, or special or different from you
|
To other people, I may seem like a good adviser
|
But to myself I feel like a dirty womanizer
|
I am just a man, I will never be a celebrity
|
That is a mantra I will cling to the death of me
|
Don't wanna feed my kids the very treachery they fed to me
|
Preferably the aim is equality eventually
|
Don't relegate me below, or elevate me above to you
|
Needless to say, in either place I'm uncomfortable
|
I treat you as an equal, I'm simply a man
|
Your brother in humanity is everything that I am
|
|

|
[Verse 2:]
|
Listen close to the words that were sang in the chorus
|
There's a big difference between fans and supporters
|
Never asked to be scrutinized or consumerized
|
Or treated differently to any other human life
|
Most don't, but some do and it saddens me
|
Force fed celebrity to subdue our humanity
|
See the false image depicted and think it's purity
|
When beneath that image they hold more insecurities
|
Than you do, but sometimes it's hard to tell who's who
|
There's more to life than Twitter followers and YouTube views
|
And if I came across like I was cocky I am sorry
|
You were born original so please don't die a copy
|
Don't relegate me below, or elevate me above to you
|
Needless to say, in either place I'm uncomfortable
|
I treat you as an equal, I'm simply a man
|
Your brother in humanity is everything that I am
|
