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, curving and watching straight 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 the 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
