| Love’s gonna get you killed | 
| But pride’s gonna be the death of you and you and me | 
| And you and you and you and me | 
| And you and you and you and me | 
| And you and you and you and me and— | 
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care | 
| In another life, I surely was there | 
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care | 
| I care, I care | 
| Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions | 
| Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen? | 
| The better part, the human heart, you love 'em or dissect 'em | 
| Happiness or flashiness? | 
| How do you serve the question? | 
| See, in a perfect world, I would be perfect, world | 
| I don’t trust people enough beyond they surface, world | 
| I don’t love people enough to put my faith in man | 
| I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make a band | 
| I understand I ain’t perfect, I probably won’t come around | 
| This time I might put you down | 
| Last time I ain’t give a fuck, I still feel the same now | 
| My feelings might go numb, you’re dealing with cold thumb | 
| I’m willing to give up a leg and arm to show empathy from | 
| Pity parties and functions of you and yours | 
| A perfect world, you probably live another 24 | 
| I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure | 
| I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure | 
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care | 
| In another life, I surely was there | 
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care | 
| I care, I care | 
| Maybe I wasn’t there (We saw you first) | 
| Maybe I wasn’t there (I saw you first) | 
| Maybe I wasn’t there (I saw you first) | 
| Maybe I wasn’t there | 
| Now, in a perfect world, I probably won’t be insensitive | 
| Cold as December but never remember what winter did | 
| I wouldn’t blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid | 
| Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays | 
| Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there | 
| Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here | 
| I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back | 
| The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that | 
| Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride | 
| A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies | 
| Promises are broken and more resentment come alive | 
| Race barriers make inferior of you and I | 
| See, in a perfect world, I’ll choose faith over riches | 
| I’ll choose work over bitches, I’ll make schools out of prison | 
| I’ll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service | 
| Just to tell 'em we ain’t shit, but He’s been perfect, world | 
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care | 
| In another life, I surely was there | 
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care | 
| I care, I care | 
| Maybe I wasn’t there (We saw you first) | 
| Maybe I wasn’t there (I saw you first) | 
| Maybe I wasn’t there (I saw you first) | 
| Maybe I wasn’t there |
