A Perfect Mess

...had a million in the bank when i turned 22. alright.

... doing impressions of myself so people say it hasn't changed me.

If only that were true now. but aint a artist in the game that can do what

I do.

I aint your little secret no more. but listen real close, and i give you

One more.

See all of these american dreams, that i find myself living out.

Mixed with all of these man-made woman that i find myself digging out.

They tell me all day long to get a bodyguard to help myself get around.

But i aint ever been afraid of people getting inside, i'm more afraid of

What i got on the inside, getting out.

And what was left. a perfect mess.

And if we forget. a perfect mess.

And what was left. a perfect mess.

That we forget.

Been a while since 09 remember when i told you it was... in time that you

Believed me. did it take this long.

I told sean if i ever got on that i'd never ever buy a chain with ice.

And i didn't.

Before this all changed my life, from dreams in the... to doing big things

In the boardroom.

See all of these non-american bottles that i find myself sipping out.

Mixed with all of the things imma have to relearn and one day live without.

Mixed all of the things inside my head that i can't figure out.

But i aint ever been afraid of people seeing inside, i'm more afraid of

What i got on the inside, getting out.

And what was left. a perfect mess.

And if we forget. a perfect mess.

And what was left. a perfect mess.

That we forget.
