lyrics

Malachi 2:6
Don't listen to that devil when he say cant nobody be perfect
Christ said in Matthew 5:48
Be perfect like my father is
Who said you couldn't do it
Romans 1:25 somebody lied
Who said you couldn't do it


(verse 1)
Yea I used to be what I was used to
Straight class act, a few screws loose
And I had a tough guy complex
Carry thumper round niggas ain't want that

Had a point to prove that I wasn't hoe made
Cuz my momma raised me by her self
Had to be the man when when I was just a boy had to learn to trust in myself

So what that mean, I had to get dough
By any means like Malcolm x spoke
Cuz I'll be damn if I let em hit me all upside my head like Martin Luther king

By the age 16, man I try to flex on scene
So I Try connect with a team
With a 22 and some green in the jeans I was king to the feens
but it all was a dream because it all wasn't me,

prolly didn't even see a g
Then twan got caught with the piece.
That's a small little piece that we all get to see when we chasing this paper the mark of the beast

Either the cage or the grave that be our destiny
Why we act like we can not even see
Why we don't know where the hell we belong
We prolong our oppression though our obsession

(hook)
I'm trying to live perfect
I try and live perfect
But everybody saying Nay
You know it can't be done,
You know where you come from
You know the dirt you den done
still I'm trying to live perfect

Man who changed the truth, of what he came to do free Israel from these strangers.
Said his law was void, and we can all enjoy what our heart desire With no quarrel.
Like we can bang these sluts
Or we can bang slugs
and there's no recompense for it.
Saying cool it cool it I'm too serious
Like its all games saying ain't It just sport

Nawl,

Ain't we at the bottom all around the world
Ain't we at the top of lists of things that's not desired
Single parent, poverty, and bold face liars
I den seen it all some say they the Messiah
All the nations they despise us
Cuz the blessings of highest
Said Israel'll come together and
set the world on fire
With the truth of scripts In the midst of the north
Where the pots are seething I can hear they heart stop
Why they not breathing

They was never alive living outside this word
Prophecies being fulfilled, that's his word
And he always show his self to me.
Who?
You know the word!
And he told me it's still shelter for Israel
They calling me shareef saying gone somewhere
Trying to ridicule me I don't even really care
Cuz the goal dwell where the Most High dwell
If that ain't what you want, the only thing left is death

(hook)
