Lyrics Imperfect - K Rino

Imperfect

How can I perfect myself, I just wanna learn the ways
Many chapters in the book of life, you gotta turn the page
Lying and chicanery, no more living dangerously
You ain’t with me every day so you don’t see the change in me
Yeah it’s been a long road, evil got a strong hold
They say I ain’t perfect, tell me something that I don’t know
Runnin' tryin' to make up ground, ain’t no time to play around
Every time I plan my rise, others plot to take me down
Yeah man it’s a dirty game, got them words from Murder One
Any time I’m 'bout to judge, I think about the dirt I done
I’mma try to find the top, whether people ride or not
Some say they have no regrets, I can’t lie I got a lot
Keep your ignorant opinions, see I don’t need none of them
There’s only ten or twelve people I trust and you not one of them
I knew that I’d be criticised, slandered with opposing talk
So why would I complain about a path that I chose to walk?
Made mistakes while tryin' to build
I’m not perfect, but I still
Keep my focus, keep my pride
Don’t allow no hate inside
I took some chances to prevail
Some would work out, some would fail
But in the end though none agree
When y’all are gone I’ll still be me
It’s getting harder to survive, all you wanna do is hide
Wished that you could make it stop, contemplated suicide
If you that stupid, try it, there won’t be no intervention
Some people need help for real, you just tryin' to get attention
Put my demons on a page, exercise 'em vocally
People criticse me daily, who the hell you supposed to be?
Judge me all the way through, hateful and ungrateful
Ridiculing me for trying to drop knowledge and save you
The damn nerve of you, I did that 'cus I loved you
Always walked among the people, never stood above you
My brain had no piece of time, tryin' to write some decent lines
Every move I made up in this shit I had the streets in mind
Never changed scenery, some hate me instinctively
You think I lose sleep worrying about what people think of me?
Lot of people know the truth, most of 'em just scared to tell it
Observing my soul, I guess they made because I didn’t sell it
You say that my work is worthless, in vain, not worth a damn
Well I guess there’s plenty artist doing better than I am
With way more money, way more power, none of them you tryin' to touch
But if I’m so irrelevant, why the hell am I on your mind so much?
In your eyes, governments and dirty cops do not apply
Dragon growling at you, why the hell you try to swat a fly?
Y’all don’t wanna unify, to you I’ve done nothing, dude
I ain’t poisonin' the food, I ain’t shootin' up no schools
I ain’t sellin' dope and guns, I ain’t stealin' from the poor
You must be a undercover agent, who you working for?
Go at me, I’ll go at you, make sure that you tell 'em that
Any time you see success, you’l see where the jealous at
