| I just want everything to be perfect
|
| Everything to fit into place
|
| House, food on the table and some liquor to chase
|
| But my moms still hooked on how cigarettes taste
|
| And my dad lost his eye and a bit of his face
|
| About a month back cause of cancer
|
| Trying to figure how to really deal, no evander
|
| This sort of shit can make you jump off the ---
|
| When peeps that don’t know you seem to think that you’re a wanker
|
| But I don’t harbor no anger to em, my big brothers oversees wonder how he’s
|
| doing
|
| Wish that he could be home with us, he a loner at heart so worry if he’s on his
|
| own too much
|
| And I owe so much to the fam, that im feeling like a failure
|
| When I can’t even lend a hand on the money front
|
| I’m hoping things is on the up and up
|
| When my career fingers crossed I don’t fuck it up
|
| But all it takes is one man and one word
|
| And the greatest song make it go unheard
|
| Lord knows there was better men before that went under the radar
|
| I kid you no stories, so I isn’t mad at stations who don’t play my recordings
|
| I’m just fucking happy that ‘m performing
|
| And that you listening to me, right now, you’ll see
|
| So you should put your hands up, hey
|
| It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay
|
| I’m living proof you could do what you never thought
|
| And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
|
| Bro you should put your hands up, hey
|
| It isn’t perfect but we be doing okay
|
| I’m living proof you could do what you never thought
|
| And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
|
| Where we headed now there isn’t no guessing
|
| But I’m tired of hearing the same old questions
|
| When ya gonna find a real profession
|
| I don’t need a reminder bro’s stop stressing
|
| I rather keep messing with this music shit and hardly make a cent
|
| Before I go to David Brent just to pay the rent
|
| Because an office cubicle is not suitable when you’re the star
|
| Like they trying to make you play the bench
|
| I ain’t content with that, I won’t stop to surrender like -----
|
| Ya see the flip side is I need a new Mac pro
|
| Could probably ask my girlfriend if she would lend for that
|
| But too proud for a hand or a hand out
|
| I’m tired of staying this still, I’m trying to stand out
|
| Be the man now, that’s the plan now
|
| From here on guess we’ll see out it fans out
|
| So you should put your hands up, hey
|
| It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay
|
| I’m living proof you could do what you never thought
|
| And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
|
| Bro you should put your hands up, hey
|
| It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay
|
| I’m living proof you could do what you never thought
|
| And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
|
| I know I walk like I grew up in a war zone
|
| I tread lightly, even when a store won’t
|
| Blow my horn though
|
| I don’t like to draw no attention to myself
|
| How ironic my careers based on getting on the shelf
|
| Or a blog or a stage, put my whole life on the page
|
| And I hope that some relate to what I say
|
| It Sounds so vain when I put it in those terms
|
| When asked about the industry I ain’t go no words
|
| But people press try to ask me how them hoes were
|
| Wonder why I wasn’t at the club when my bros were
|
| On the red carpet showing up with a chauffer
|
| And VIP with big bottles of patron were
|
| And truth I was at home, chillin on the 360
|
| Knowing if I died them fake dudes wouldn’t miss me
|
| Everybody’s best friends when they getting tipsy
|
| But when the free drinks run they seem to jet quickly
|
| So you should put your hands up, hey
|
| It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay
|
| I’m living proof you could do what you never thought
|
| And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
