| Love’s gonna get you killed
|
| But pride’s gonna be the death of you and you and me
|
| And you and you and you and me
|
| And you and you and you and me
|
| And you and you and you and me and—
|
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
|
| In another life, I surely was there
|
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
|
| I care, I care
|
| Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions
|
| Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
|
| The better part, the human heart, you love 'em or dissect 'em
|
| Happiness or flashiness? |
| How do you serve the question?
|
| See, in a perfect world, I would be perfect, world
|
| I don’t trust people enough beyond they surface, world
|
| I don’t love people enough to put my faith in man
|
| I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make a band
|
| I understand I ain’t perfect, I probably won’t come around
|
| This time I might put you down
|
| Last time I ain’t give a fuck, I still feel the same now
|
| My feelings might go numb, you’re dealing with cold thumb
|
| I’m willing to give up a leg and arm to show empathy from
|
| Pity parties and functions of you and yours
|
| A perfect world, you probably live another 24
|
| I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
|
| I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
|
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
|
| In another life, I surely was there
|
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
|
| I care, I care
|
| Maybe I wasn’t there (We saw you first)
|
| Maybe I wasn’t there (I saw you first)
|
| Maybe I wasn’t there (I saw you first)
|
| Maybe I wasn’t there
|
| Now, in a perfect world, I probably won’t be insensitive
|
| Cold as December but never remember what winter did
|
| I wouldn’t blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
|
| Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
|
| Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
|
| Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
|
| I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
|
| The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
|
| Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
|
| A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
|
| Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
|
| Race barriers make inferior of you and I
|
| See, in a perfect world, I’ll choose faith over riches
|
| I’ll choose work over bitches, I’ll make schools out of prison
|
| I’ll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
|
| Just to tell 'em we ain’t shit, but He’s been perfect, world
|
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
|
| In another life, I surely was there
|
| Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
|
| I care, I care
|
| Maybe I wasn’t there (We saw you first)
|
| Maybe I wasn’t there (I saw you first)
|
| Maybe I wasn’t there (I saw you first)
|
| Maybe I wasn’t there |
