Humanity lyrics:
Now no introductions are needed, you better believe it,
I been here for thousand of years
I put blood in the sand, I’m a woman, I’m a man
I’m a child and I created all your fears
I started world war 1, and I made happen the second one
I split the atom and I flew the Enola Gay
I created religion, philosophy and wisdom
Science, mathematics and psychology
I put Jesus on the cross, I’ve won and I have lost
I’m a saviour and sinner, now listen
I brought the final solution, created the industrial revolution
Capitalism and communism
If it wasn’t for me, there would be no poverty
No starving children, no suicides
There would be no songs to sing, be no Queen or no King
Be no governments across the world wide
Who am I? Who am I? You know me I’m humanity
Who am I? Who am I? You know me I’m humanity
I put a man on the moon, I almost created our doom
When the cold war started to get hot
I poisoned the seas, cut down a million trees
And invented guns so others could get shot
I placed mad men in power, killed children by the hour
But everything I did wasn’t so deplorable
I put food on the table, medicine, so folk were able
To stand on their own two feet after a fall
If it wasn’t for me, you know there would never be
Diseases but also their cures
Drug addicts and alcoholics, from wine to narcotics
From undiluted to the impure
Who am I? Who am I? You know me I’m humanity
Who am I? Who am I? You know me I’m humanity
In the skies I put planes, across the landscape placed trains
In depths of the oceans submarines
In everybody’s hands, smartphones now can be found
For selfies I invented vanity
From politics to pornography, I disgust somebody
I’m divided in so many ways
From black and white skin, to her now becoming him
I’ve killed people because they are simply gay
I’ve been a nurse helping the dying, a politician that’s been lying
I am every colour under the sun
So young I have died, brokenhearted I have cried
To be separated from my loved one
Who am I? Who am I? You know me I’m humanity
Who am I? Who am I? You know me I’m humanity
I made the heart beat, from a kiss that’s so sweet
Just a simple touch on the lips can blow me away
Jealousy and envy, can be found in me
It’s something I have to live with everyday
I’m a revolutionary, a warlord selling armoury
A poet, a painter, a comedian
I put words on the pages, all through the ages
And from my lungs you can hear me singing
I’m a law man on the corner, I like to disrupt the social order
My opinion is more important than any of yours
A philanthropist at heart, sometimes a wild card
I may not like to admit it, but I got flaws
I enslaved my brothers, prostituted my sisters
Killed my mother and father just to get paid
I polluted the earth, didn’t care what it was worth
And the climate I may irreversibly change
Who am I? Who am I? You know me I’m humanity
Who am I? Who am I? You know me I’m humanity
