Identify As Human - JohnnieB

Lyrics

( Johnnie B On The Beat ) I hope y’all don’t forget, I beat you to my own damn name, Called myself every label first, so your shots don’t hit the same. Call me fake, call me broke, call me lost inside the game, But JohnnieB’s the human side of every mask you try to frame. I’m not one damn character, bitch, I’m the whole cast, The hero, the villain, the joke, and the aftermath. The sinner, the saint, the student from the class, The teacher with a lesson from a fucked-up past. I’m the fan and the rapper, the stage and the seat, The writer, the critic, the loss, and the streak. The confident voice with the doubt underneath, The man that still stands when the boy wants to leave. So go ahead and label me, it won’t make it true, I’ve been called worse by the mirror than I ever heard from you. I’m not one damn word, I’m the whole damn view, Every side of mankind walking in my shoes. Hook I identify as human, human, human, human, Flawed as fuck but still improving. Human, human, human, human, Every side of me keeps moving. Human, human, human, human, Love and hate still both included. Human, human, human, human, JohnnieB is every truth turned into music. Verse 2 Little Johnnie is the parody, the mockery, the mask, The ugly little thought that nobody wants to have. Big John is the prayer when the soul looks back, And JohnnieB is the body where they both unpack. I’m not Ken K, I’m the person behind the joke, The one who sees the smoke and the pain that it holds. The one who can laugh while the heart still broke, Then turn that contradiction into gold when he spoke. I’m the laugh and the cry, the pride and regret, The “I forgive you” with a memory I never forget. I’m the sinner that kneels, I’m the saint that gets pissed, I’m the reason one label will never make sense. I’m every person they judged, every name they misplaced, Every scar on a soul with a smile on its face. Every outcast kid tryna find his own space, Every grown man healing at his own damn pace. Hook I identify as human, human, human, human, Flawed as fuck but still improving. Human, human, human, human, Every side of me keeps moving. Human, human, human, human, Love and hate still both included. Human, human, human, human, JohnnieB is every truth turned into music. Verse 3 I’m every wrong turn that became a lesson later, Every fake friend that turned me to a motivator. Every bad name that became a translator, For a bigger damn truth that the world made stranger. I’m not AI, I’m not fake, I’m not just another clone, I’m a real man making worlds from a phone. You can copy one line, but you can’t copy the soul, You can mimic the sound, but you can’t be the whole. I’m the author and the character, the wound and the pen, The enemy, the ally, the stranger, the friend. The believer, the doubter, the start and the end, The man who falls apart then rebuilds again. So fuck your little boxes, fuck your little claims, Fuck your one-word labels trying to shrink my name. I’m JohnnieB, bitch, I’m the full damn frame, Every side of humanity walking through flame. Hook I identify as human, human, human, human, Flawed as fuck but still improving. Human, human, human, human, Every side of me keeps moving. Human, human, human, human, Love and hate still both included. Human, human, human, human, JohnnieB is every truth turned into music.
