Safety Switches (Not a Machine)

IF I COMPUTE, I'M NOT A COMPUTER

Intro

Yeah...

EST GEE type energy...

If I compute, that don't make me a computer.

Real life, real blood, real emotions.

Hook

If I compute, I'm not a computer, nah,

Got a heartbeat, ain't no motherboard, nah.

Humans don't got safety switches, that's facts,

No automatic shutdown when the pressure attack.

Computers love sleep mode, screens go black,

I stay awake stressed, carrying weight on my back.

If I compute, I'm not a computer, nah,

I'm a living soul, can't reduce me to that.

Verse 1

Dad sleeping so long, feel forever to me,

Looking at the clock like it's stuck in history.

Computer don't care, it'll wait all night,

I get impatient, got emotions in sight.

Computer never angry when its owner don't wake,

Never pacing through the house wondering what's at stake.

Never got a heartbeat racing through the chest,

Never got a million thoughts refusing to rest.

I'm calculating problems, but that don't make me code,

Still got feelings carrying a heavy load.

People do math, people think every day,

But a human ain't a machine just because of the way.

Got frustration, got dreams, got fear, got pride,

Things a processor can't keep deep inside.

Hook

If I compute, I'm not a computer, nah,

Got a heartbeat, ain't no motherboard, nah.

Humans don't got safety switches, that's facts,

No automatic shutdown when the pressure attack.

Computers love sleep mode, screens go black,

I stay awake stressed, carrying weight on my back.

If I compute, I'm not a computer, nah,

I'm a living soul, can't reduce me to that.

Verse 2

They say the bed live forever in my mind tonight,

Like it's guarding dreams underneath the moonlight.

Dad in the bed, time moving so slow,

Hours feel eternal when you're waiting alone.

Machines don't miss people, they don't understand,

They don't hold memories or reach for a hand.

They don't get lonely, don't wonder what's next,

Don't feel relief when they finally get a text.

No overheating warning flashing on my face,

Just human pressure trying to keep up the pace.

No reset button when life gets rough,

No power supply when the road gets tough.

That's why I laugh when they compare me to chips,

I got scars and stories, not circuits and scripts.

Outro

If I compute, I'm not a computer.

If I think, I'm still human.

Real emotions, real life, real pain.

No shutdown switch.

No sleep mode.

Just me.
