I'm Not Perfect ft. Sarah - Jane Lyrics

Show off cause baby you're royal

Head high that's how she's keeping that crown on

And ain't nothing bringing her down

She will always be around

Cause it's the root of all that nature brought

When she smiles

She lights up a room

Afro hair the crown

When she walks

Hips for days they swing

Skin tone chocolate brown

When she feels

She stays so in tune

Universal child

When she wins

She makes sure they know

How you like me now society

Teach young boys like me

To hate my own

Black is wrong and white is gold

Greatest lie thats ever told

Call her name and bash her features plant that seed and watch it grow

Now she's taking pictures using lighter filters for that glow girl you a queen

Don't let no fools like me

Tell you different

Insecurities

I'm weak as can be

That's the difference

I do not deserve your love its too divine

Not your fault it's truly mine

Trained from young to seek the light

In complexion not the mind

Why she's angry all the time

Knowing that I caused her pain

Light or white seems right and acceptance is what I hope to gain

She'd protect with her life

Too bad I don't feel the same

She'd protect me with her life

While with mine I feel the shame

Been heavy on my heart man

And I know

I use to be one of those brothers that held back his sisters you know how that goes

Use to claim to be down for black women but fairer skin were the ones that I chose

And there ain't nothing wrong with that love who you love once you love em and see how it goes

But the problem is when you put one on a pedestal others be lower than low

Look at her light skin look at her curly hair look at her brown eyes oohh she glow

With her braided but when our sisters do it man we act like we'n even know

Use to look at her skin and see lesser than

Society teaching what's better than

See the perfect body all on instagram lets get the picture man stay focused

Young queen stay focused

As you ride your wave of emotions

And deleted the picture you posted cause your insecurities are in the open

Become numb to it so stoic

Started hating yourself without knowing

As your brothers we fail to protect you even though it hurts you don't show it

To a place of worthy is the destination without navigation you going

Authentic now no more emulating what you think is accepted for posting

Just look in the mirror say I am a king and queen see how that goes

And when you not feeling yourself

Despite all the thorns you water the rose

Show off cause baby you're royal

Head high that's how she's keeping that crown on

No nothing putting her down

She'll always be around

Cause she is beautiful

She is so you are so

You are

You are
