[Verse]
Eb
We're just a biological speculation
Sittin' here, vibratin'
Fm                                    
And we don't know what we're vibratin'
 Eb
 about
Fm
And the animal instinct in me
Makes me wanna defend me
                                  
It makes me want to live when it's
      Eb
 time to die
             Fm
Y'all see my point?
                                   
I don't mean to come on strong but 
     Eb
I am concerned
             Fm
I believe in god
                                 
Though I know that law and order 
     Eb
must prevail

[Chorus]
Ab
Oh, if and when the laws of man
       Cm    Bb        Eb
Is not just, equal and fair
                 Fm
Then the laws of nature
                     Eb
Will come and do her thang
Ab
She does not think
She just rectifies
    Cm        Bb           Eb
She comes and balances the book
             Fm
Y'all see my point?
             Eb
Y'all see my point?
