Perfect People (feat. Chelsea)

My uncle used to tell me: Keep it real close

This is for the little kids who see us as a hero (a hero)

Mama made a soufflé, now I'm out the soup case

Do whatever you say, homies playing 2K

Daddy used to tell me: Never trust a perfect person

Watching all my benjamins to see who could be lurking

I'm surfing, ah-ah, I'm skirting, ah-ah

We hide behind our pretty masquerades like it's a curtain

We stay so flawed

Live in our facade

We're doing great and we don't need no one to save us

Look around because this feeling is contagious

Tell us how we are and look around on our end

Not pretending that we probably think we're perfect and we aren't

I hit the record button to tell them all that I'm fake

I'm really posting and chilling my college dorm by the lake

And no, I know I ain't safe, I say that I'm doing great

And I ain't got a single problem, there's no reason to pray

My hometown, there's no frowns, my mama: Stay straight

We A-1, we sayin': We know we're on our way

Ooo mama, this is all I really wanted, like

This is all my masking, all the people I can never write

We stay so flawed

Live in our facade

We're doing great and we don't need no one to save us

Look around because this feeling is contagious

Tell us how we are and look around on our end

Not pretending that we probably think we're perfect and we aren't

And if you look me in the eyes

Would you start to see the lies?

Filling my coat with all of the figments that measure a night

Like a ship with no lighthouse

We belong to pretending that we're okay

And we're falling onto our knees, praying to the Lord please

Bless us for our crooked smile

'Cause we've been falling every day

What is there to pray for?

But who's really perfect?

Who's really perfect?

A hero
