Fuel Ain’t Electricity

Intro

Man, they treat me like a code

Ones and zeroes, but my blood run cold

They don’t know ‘bout the weight I hold

I ain’t made of steel, I break, I fold

Verse 1

Plug me in but I ain’t runnin', I ain’t no wires

Heart be pumpin’, pressure buildin’ up, I’m on fire

Watchin’ us starve while they feed the machine

Say they protectin’ us, but they just unseen

Coppers circle round with their hands on the steel

Tryna cage our rage, but we fight how we feel

Human, got emotions that they never could code

Sometimes they curse the sky, sometimes they unload

Chorus

I’m not a computer, I got pain in my chest

Electric don’t fuel me, I fight for respect

Try and control me, but I won’t reset

Can’t program my heart, I bleed, I sweat

Verse 2

If they knew what it cost, if they lived what we seen

Binary logic ain’t built for this grief

We ain’t machines, can’t just eat what you feed

Got hunger for justice, got real human needs

See, I got a pulse, and that drive can’t be wired

Can’t debug my anger, can’t code when I’m tired

I’m more than a number, can’t put me on mute

Don’t treat me like hardware, 'cause I’m living proof

Pre-Chorus

We got a soul, don’t forget that fact

You push us too far, we gon’ push right back

They don’t run on feelings, but that’s all we have

Ain’t no reset button, we can’t start from scratch

Chorus

I’m not a computer, I got pain in my chest

Electric don’t fuel me, I fight for respect

Try and control me, but I won’t reset

Can’t program my heart, I bleed, I sweat
