Not a Computer

Intro

Yeah

Henry on the mic

Listen close

Verse 1

Clock ticking loud and I'm pacing the room

Standing in a line feel like wasting my noon

I got a motor in my chest that won't idle

Patience ain't a virtue when your mind is a rifle

Quick to move quick to choose never sit still

Minutes feel like mountains when you climbing uphill

I want it now not later not someday

Tell me why the slow lane gotta be my highway

Chorus

I hate waiting

I hate waiting

That's not what my brain does

That's not what my brain does

Computers do the patience

That's their job not mine

I hate waiting

I hate waiting

Post-Chorus

No no no

Not my job

No no no

Not my job

Verse 2

You got a processor I got a pulse and a plan

You follow instructions I follow what I understand

You run the numbers I run the numbers too

But calculating never made a man out of you

Machines got wires humans got wonder

You never feel the rain you never hear the thunder

I imagine I decide I can change my mind

You just execute the code every single time

Chorus

I hate waiting

I hate waiting

That's not what my brain does

That's not what my brain does

Computers do the patience

That's their job not mine

I hate waiting

I hate waiting

Bridge

Maybe I'm learning

Maybe I'm slow

Maybe the waiting

Is teaching me how to grow

At my own pace

My own time

Still I'm Henry

Still I'm mine

Final Chorus

I hate waiting

I hate waiting

That's not what my brain does

That's not what my brain does

Computers do the patience

That's their job not mine

I hate waiting

I hate waiting

Outro

Spoken word now

I'm Henry

I'm human

I think I feel I choose

A machine can count the seconds

Only I can make them matter

I hate waiting

But I'm learning

At my own pace
