Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wear my emotions on my sleeve, you know what I'm sayin'
I've always been like that, my whole life, man
If I fuck with you, I'm all the way out there
If I don't fuck with you, I don't mind you knowing I don't fuck with you
[Verse 2]
Breaking down a key of coke, I ain't never seen a boat
Khaza got circumcised, thinkin' I'ma need a load
Boobie, he a shooter, hit the the top of your medulla
From a scooter with a Ruger, I don't think he even need a scope
[Verse 3]
Attending college been a goal that I'm after
Evaded doin' life without parole wearin' shackles
Mmm, I'm only fucking with what matters
A washed up rapper talking trash doesn't matter
[Verse 4]
Front windshield of the car, when it shatters
My **** brains blown out, layin' in my lap
Told God, take me, everybody blamed me
Prayin' till I'm prayed out, won't bring him back
[Verse 5]
They say my life is amazing
Funny, been a question, kinda wonder how I made it
Forrest Gump and I got something in common
The world treat you different when brilliant
[Verse 6]
We ain't booted off molly, we don't do shrooms
All we do is pass gas loud, excuse who?
Twin-turbo 911, make it vroom, vroom
We in all black, my mechanic, make the tool move
[Verse 7]
Say you sip lean, yeah, I do too
I ain't tryna hit your cup, ****, do you
I'm Michael Jackson, I'm reincarnated
I channel this spirit like Ali the greatest
[Verse 8]
Medicinal marijuana, am I medicated
Aerosmith jaded
She looked like Nala when she got on top of me
I gazed in her eyes, and responded
Can we go half on a baby
[Verse 9]
Broke another fingernail scratching on my back
Navel to the ceiling when I'm pushing on her pelvis
See my tattoo of Elvis when I'm tearing up her cat
She tapped
[Verse 10]
I'm a perfect imperfection
My craft has been perfected, I just need affection
Emotionally, I'm a introvert, but it come off as aggression
No one understand me, and everybody can't be slow
It's refreshing to find someone who thinks like me, so I can't be wrong
[Verse 11]
I'm a perfect imperfection
And I don't find interest in the radio
Sometime I get high, watch the time pass by like away we go
Is it okay to cry when you're dying inside
Seem like codeine is the one thing that help take my mind from the lies
[Verse 12]
Point the flame at my brain with the full clip
Drake said, Gates do his thing, he don't bullshit
All you other **** rap about is bullshit
In the studio on drugs when you get all in your feelings
[Verse 13]
Look into your eyes, ****, you ain't ever lived it
Always talking cooking dope, ****, ever had a heartache?
Ever lost money, learned how to cook oil based?
Ever grind hard, tryna pay for your lawyer?
[Verse 14]
Get him paid off and you still go to jail
And that bitch that you love don't pick up when you call her
Fuckin' with your **** when you get out, and you dog her
Go on with your mood with a ****, you don't argue
[Verse 15]
Came here to die in the game, I'm retarded
Know its got a name, I ain't knowin' what to call it
Mama three way the call choppin' game, me and 40
Freeman, I look up to you, ****, I love you
[Verse 16]
Know you lost your parents but with me, you got a brother
Malaki and Chris Sprite, all same trap
Cousin Lil Quick tellin' me he wanna rap
Uptown beezy and the white house administration
[Verse 17]
Get the paper, had to see Tyrese in the scrap
When his seatbelt strap, make it hard to lean back
Sittin' up straight in the car with the shades on
Young Seven with the Jensen, and my main man gone
[Verse 18]
I was doing time up in Rivers when he came home
Now I'm waitin' on a **** for the get out of line
No drive by, we jump out and dump where you grind
Excuse me, I meant to say where you spend time
[Verse 19]
You too scared to hustle, you're just wasting time
I used to spend nights with Khalil and Jaquincy
And his brother fucked with the ones who against me
Stop making threats 'cause I swear I hate living
[Verse 20]
You say you don't like me, well shut up or kill me
Well shut up or kill me
You say you don't like me, well shut up or kill me
Bitch, shut up or kill me
[Verse 21]
I'm a perfect imperfection
My craft has been perfected, I just need affection
Emotionally, I'm a introvert, but it come off as aggression
No one understand me, and everybody can't be slow
It's refreshing to find someone who thinks like me, so I can't be wrong
[Verse 22]
I'm a perfect imperfection
And I don't find interest in the radio
Sometime I get high, watch the time pass by like away we go
Is it okay to cry when you're dying inside
Seem like codeine is the one thing that help take my mind from the lies
