Lyrics
Yea
Yea
Far from perfect but that ain’t the goal
Been to hell and back still an untainted soul
Someone that you can’t expose
Built a brand to break the mold
Nothing more nothing less
I’m here for everything I’m owed
Yea
I know the best is yet to come
Long as I’m a man of my word when it’s all said and done
Prone to make mistakes but always do my best to make it right
Regardless of my shortcomings I’m worthy of this life
Far from perfect but good thing that ain’t the destination
And I hope it ain’t yours you’ll be forever waiting
Gotta accept who you are to be who you wanna be
I deserve my fee for all this work that I den done for free
Made it through them valleys I deserve that house on the peak
Talked to God this morning he told me I’m in for a treat
Making money in my sleep
Wake up to some ginger tea
Feeling so complete in my incompleteness lets keep it P
You can buy a piece with that money but you can’t buy peace
Don’t be playing next to that water if you ain’t gon’ dive deep
I gotta way about me
God don’t play about me
You gon’ complain about me go and find yo way without me
I’m outtey
Far from perfect but that ain’t the goal
Been to hell and back still an untainted soul
Someone that you can’t expose
Built a brand to break the mold
Nothing more nothing less
I’m here for everything I’m owed
Yea
I know the best is yet to come
Long as I’m a man of my word when it’s all said and done
Prone to make mistakes but always do my best to make it right
Regardless of my shortcomings I’m worthy of this life
If not me then who?
It’s not me it’s you
It’s not you it’s me
Sometimes I be confused
Used to verbally abuse when my ego was bruised
Now I don’t even raise my voice when I’m speaking my truths
Calm and collective
I changed my perspective
Every problem is an opportunity to get better
It’s my fault if I let you take me out of my character
But I’ll be up to bat again like a Seattle Mariner
I made it all these years and my heart still pure
I’m proud of what I see when I look in the mirror
I’m working on my anger still a little insecure
If I was perfect then I wouldn’t be here
Far from perfect but that ain’t the goal
Been to hell and back still an untainted soul
Someone that you can’t expose
Built a brand to break the mold
Nothing more nothing less
I’m here for everything I’m owed
Yea
I know the best is yet to come
Long as I’m a man of my word when it’s all said and done
Prone to make mistakes but always do my best to make it right
Regardless of my shortcomings I’m worthy of this life
Geraldine Thompson (Granny):
What did I ask you?
Oh, I said how did you change so?
You’re not the same as you used to..
You’re not the same as the last time I saw you
You’re just different
You talk more..
You talk different
You talked about life differently
Or is it you’re talking differently cause you never talked about life before
Put it that way
See what I’m sayin’?
