 human being from planet earth 
 I dont believe you 
 i am a family member of the most common & widespread species of primate, & the last surviving species of the genus: homo. 

this means i'm a great ape, which pleases me deeply, & according to other great apes this also means i'm characterized by my hairlessness, bipedalism, & high intelligence,  

& while i'm not so sure about all that but it's fine, 

on a personal level, 

i'd like to think im a good ape, too, in a general sense at least,

which has nothing to do with my primary physical characteristics & more has to do with listening to the song in my heart.
