HUMAN FIRST

+ Show full styles

[Intro – Spoken] Yo check one-two one-two... Y’all motherfuckers listening? Strip the labels off. [drop] [Hook – chant with stacks] Human first - fuck your boxes, fuck your biases, fuck your curses. Human first - every surface different, different fire, same furnace. Human first - quit policing bodies, shades, and verses. Human first - say it ‘til it severs all the worthless. Human first - no more rankin’ souls by paint and birthmarks. Human first - all the petty hate just makes the world dark. Human first - we are more than scars and checkmarks. Human first - carve it in your chest, embed it in your heart. [Verse 1] I’m sick of little rigid picket fences in the psyche’s district, statistics twisted wicked just to brand a human “misfit.” They pitch a script that’s brittle, brittle glass around the spirit, then yell “be civil,” while they scribble slurs and call it “critics.” I’m flippin’ every filter, fillin’ syllables with friction, I’m pinning bigots to their figments, watch ’em fidget with conviction. You tally melanin-like measurements for merit — that’s pathetic. You fetishize identities, then weaponize aesthetics. You’re threatened by a spectrum you could never even see through, so you aim at what is different when the enemy’s the evil. You weigh a person’s worth on weight and gait, a limp, a lisp, you grade a face like stock and trade, then trade a hate-filled list. I’m pacing in your algorithm, glitched inside your gate-kept churches, break the circuit, make ’em nervous — human first, for every purpose. [Pre-Chorus - percussive triplets] Strip the slurs, rip the terms that clip our worth. Flip the curse, fuse the nerves that split the earth. Grip the hurt, spit it firm, we live, we learn. Human first, human first, let it burn. [Hook] Human first - fuck your boxes, fuck your biases, fuck your curses. Human first - every surface different, different fire, same furnace. Human first - quit policing bodies, shades, and verses. Human first - say it ‘til it severs all the worthless. [Verse 2] Wheelchair wheels still peel streets, you see skill or warm seat? You see the chair, not the heat, but they still outwork your weak feet. Vitiligo skin a night sky, star maps, fine art. You call it “damage,” I call it cosmic body art. Autistic mind with railgun focus, laser lanes through noise, and you mock the stims and cadence while they engineer your toys. Trans kid dodgin’ slander, dodgin’ bathrooms like it’s warfare, let a soul be safe inside the body they can own there. Speech impediments are metronomes with different grooves, don’t you dare equate the rhythm with a value you can choose. Big bodies, little bodies, deep scars, chemo crowns, every line you draw around them is a mirror of your bounds. I’m punchin’ prejudice in pressure points, it folds like paper. If compassion is a currency, I’m payin’ back with acres. [Switch-up] Heartbeats sync in four-four, lungs drum in unison. Any metric that denies the math is fucking lunacy. [Hook] Human first - kill the caste and all the fake worth. Human first - skin and sin don’t set a pay-perth. Human first - we ain’t playin’ purity church. Human first - say it louder, shake the earth. [Verse 3] Y’all rank life like leaderboards, rewardin’ clones and costumes, chasin’ comfort, guardin’ corners, hoardin’ norms like locked rooms. I’m torchin’ torture jargon, jar it, toss it off the top soon, turn a trauma into temple, carve a truth across the chalk dunes. If your creed needs casualties to stand, it’s brittle plaster. If your peace is “quiet them,” your dogma’s built for masters. If your god’s a measuring stick for hate, I’ll snap it backwards, let compassion be the metric, let inclusion be the password. Culture cops and language landlords try to take our breath, but the lease is void the moment empathy prevents your theft. I’ll bend the beat and seed the street with needed seeds for next, where a kid with trembling hands can still be greeted, seen, and blessed. No podium for purity trolls, mute their static. We boost the bruised and battered voices, calm the panic. We fuse the crews and scatter borders, route the traffic. The truth is human, first and last, compute the magic. [Bridge - chant + clap pattern] We bleed. We breathe. We build. We hurt. We grieve. We heal. Believe our worth. Repeat the key ’til speakers burst Human first. Human first. Human first - fuck your boxes, fuck your biases, fuck your curses. Human first - every surface different, different fire, same furnace. Human first - quit policing bodies, shades, and verses. Human first - say it ‘til it severs all the worthless. Human first - let the choir be the crowd’s pulse. Human first - let the loud love drown the loud wars. Human first - stamp it on the laws and on the hall doors. Human first - not a slogan, this is heart’s course. [Outro] Strip the labels. Keep the person. Turn the volume past the hurt. If they ask for what is certain, tell ’em human, ’cause it’s first.
