Perfect ft. The Thought Lyrics

I don't know, I just be lookin' at my kids, man, I be seein' they struggles, and I just..

I just wanna fix everything for em', you know

But I know that's not my job, so

Check, look, uh, I write these notes, as think pieces to my wealth

Somethin' I can give my son when he needin' help

Want him to know that every card that he's bein' dealt

Is not a winner, some of these losses I really felt

Don't ever think I had it figured out, I never did

But the bumps and the bruises made me better, kid

At times I was flyin', but see, I really skid

You gotta know that when you blindin', you can feel the slip

Don't let it happen, but I know that you gon' probably trip

But when you get up from the fall, know it's heaven sent

You here for a purpose, so just relish it

And your life is your life, don't embellish it

It's funny how the universe make it relevant

To everything necessary for your elegance

That's pressure you're feelin' cause you're intelligent

But we don't make a nigga sweat for the hell of it

Be certain in your life with the things that you need

Purpose is the light on the road to succeed

Perfect ain't a thing, but we gon' be the closest thing

(Cause you're the closest thing to perfect)

Be certain in your life with the things that you need

Purpose is the light on the road to succeed

Perfect ain't a thing, but we gon' be the closest thing

(We gon' be the closest thing)

I jot these words as a free write for my soul

Somethin' I can give my daughter when the world is cold

Tell her it's gon' be okay, you gotta see it through

And even if you don't agree, you gotta keep your cool

You better off showin' them instead of wastin' words

And don't you wait in line, you gotta know to take your turn

You got fire in your veins, that's your daddy, baby

Just keep your mind on your goals and you'll be happy, baby

I know there'll probably be some people in your life

That you think will be alright, but they really want your light

Just know, whenever that you need some insight

Even when I'm dead and gone, I'm your moon at midnight

Never might, it's fa sho, even when I gotta go

When a nigga on the road, you the only one I hold in the globe

Just know I'm rushing back to your arms

Even when you old and grown, you will always be my charm, said I love you baby

Be certain in your life with the things that you need

Purpose is the light on the road to succeed

Perfect ain't a thing, but we gon' be the closest thing

(Cause you're the closest thing to perfect)

Be certain in your life with the things that you need

Purpose is the light on the road to succeed

Perfect ain't a thing, but we gon' be the closest thing

(We gon' be the closest thing)

I ain't handing down no cycles

Every link in the chain I've broke

Paving over every bump on my roads

You ain't gotta drive those

Only there to guide you home

Who am I to cry if you choose to fly

From the nest, make it on your own?

All I'd ever feel is pride

From the moment that your eyes opened wide

That's been all I've known

I hope you know within your soul

That I don't expect perfection

(It ain't a thing!)

I'm both your oldest living fan

And a boulder you can stand on

I leave it all to your discretion

I'll give everything I have

And never ask for a pittance...

And never give me your pity!

Your very presence a blessing

I could never pay you back for all that you give me
