In a Perfect World |
| Ain’t nobody perfect |
| Ain’t nobody perfect |
| Ain’t nobody perfect |
| Ain’t nobody perfect |
| See, in a perfect world it would all be so simple |
| Sometimes simple isn’t worth it |
| Cause all the hard times I’ve been through |
| Made me the man I am today |
| And I ain’t nowhere close to perfect |
| But I’m perfectly fine with that, I’m still breathing |
| So many scars and wounds that’ll never heal |
| I’m still bleeding, I know you see 'em |
| All those imperfections in yourself |
| You’re just stressing it too much, but life’s a lesson in itself |
| One day we’ll learn what it means |
| One day we’ll learn to be free |
| Lately I’ve been trying to separate my wants and my needs |
| But what does perfect mean? |
| lately I’ve been asking myself |
| If I paint you this picture maybe you’ll answer yourself |
| You see, a perfect world to me is no more violence |
| No more gunshots at night, homie and no more sirens |
| No more kids losing their life too soon and no drunk driving |
| I seen it happen way too many times and we ain’t trying |
| We ain’t trying hard enough to change it |
| Broken hearts and hatred |
| A perfect world to me is a world free of this racists |
| So who are you to judge a person by the color of skin |
| How hard is it just to smile and treat each other as kin |
| I wish, there was a world where our children could play outside |
| Without a drive-by occurring and watching stray bullets fly |
| But why, why does it feel like we’re not ready? |
| When I talk about change, man |
| Why I feel like they don’t get me? |
| Well, I guess I ain’t perfect enough |
| One day the money and jewels gon' be worthless to us |
| We gonna value ourselves based of the love in our hearts |
| Not the cash in our pockets |
| I’m thinking what if we start a perfect world |
| Where the music ain’t downgrading our women |
| And they stop degrading themselves |
| They lost faith in our women |
| Trust me, I’m not one to judge |
| Can’t stand the way that I’m livin' |
| We all dream of that perfect place and man |
| I’m way beyond vision |
| See, I can hear it, taste it and feel it |
| The scent of it is so potent |
| Perfect like your first love before your heart was broken |
| Perfect like the sound of crashing waves in the ocean |
| It’s perfect like the sound of music when you play it while smoking |
| So many, perfect imperfections in this world, still I love it here |
| Only 21 and I hope to make it another year |
| But if not, my soul will be perfectly free |
| She might not be perfect to you, but man she’s perfect to me |
| Yours Truly |
| Ain’t nobody perfect |
| But we’re all worth this life |
| Don’t matter where we’re going |
| As long as we’re living right |
| Ain’t nobody perfect |
| But we’re all worth this life |
| Don’t matter where we’re going |
| As long as we’re living right |
| We only got this one time, one time |
| For a limited time |
| We only got this one time, one time |
| For a limited time |
| We only got this one time, one time |
| For a limited time |
| We only got this one time, one time |
| For a limited time |
| Ain’t nobody perfect |
| You see, at the very end of it |
| I didn’t know where I was |
| All I know it was peaceful |
| Almost like a place nothing could go wrong |
| A place so perfect |
| I’ve always imagined a place like this |
| Ever since I was young, I was |
| Never really able to sleep |
| My mom always told me: |
| «Close your eyes, picture the waves crashing |
| Imagine yourself there with no worries» |
| That’s the only thing that ever really helps |
| So much going on in this world |
| Sometimes I wonder if we were able to think our |
| Own heaven into existence |
| What would mine be like? |
| Well, I think I finally found it |
| Better yet, I think it’s been with me all along |
