Ain't Perfect - David Dallas, Jordache

I just want everything to be perfect

Everything to fit into place

House, food on the table and some liquor to chase

But my moms still hooked on how cigarettes taste

And my dad lost his eye and a bit of his face

About a month back cause of cancer

Trying to figure how to really deal, no evander

This sort of shit can make you jump off the ---

When peeps that don’t know you seem to think that you’re a wanker

But I don’t harbor no anger to em, my big brothers oversees wonder how he’s

doing

Wish that he could be home with us, he a loner at heart so worry if he’s on his

own too much

And I owe so much to the fam, that im feeling like a failure

When I can’t even lend a hand on the money front

I’m hoping things is on the up and up

When my career fingers crossed I don’t fuck it up

But all it takes is one man and one word

And the greatest song make it go unheard

Lord knows there was better men before that went under the radar

I kid you no stories, so I isn’t mad at stations who don’t play my recordings

I’m just fucking happy that ‘m performing

And that you listening to me, right now, you’ll see

So you should put your hands up, hey

It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay

I’m living proof you could do what you never thought

And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk

Bro you should put your hands up, hey

It isn’t perfect but we be doing okay

I’m living proof you could do what you never thought

And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk

Where we headed now there isn’t no guessing

But I’m tired of hearing the same old questions

When ya gonna find a real profession

I don’t need a reminder bro’s stop stressing

I rather keep messing with this music shit and hardly make a cent

Before I go to David Brent just to pay the rent

Because an office cubicle is not suitable when you’re the star

Like they trying to make you play the bench

I ain’t content with that, I won’t stop to surrender like -----

Ya see the flip side is I need a new Mac pro

Could probably ask my girlfriend if she would lend for that

But too proud for a hand or a hand out

I’m tired of staying this still, I’m trying to stand out

Be the man now, that’s the plan now

From here on guess we’ll see out it fans out

So you should put your hands up, hey

It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay

I’m living proof you could do what you never thought

And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk

Bro you should put your hands up, hey

It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay

I’m living proof you could do what you never thought

And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk

I know I walk like I grew up in a war zone

I tread lightly, even when a store won’t

Blow my horn though

I don’t like to draw no attention to myself

How ironic my careers based on getting on the shelf

Or a blog or a stage, put my whole life on the page

And I hope that some relate to what I say

It Sounds so vain when I put it in those terms

When asked about the industry I ain’t go no words

But people press try to ask me how them hoes were

Wonder why I wasn’t at the club when my bros were

On the red carpet showing up with a chauffer

And VIP with big bottles of patron were

And truth I was at home, chillin on the 360

Knowing if I died them fake dudes wouldn’t miss me

Everybody’s best friends when they getting tipsy

But when the free drinks run they seem to jet quickly

So you should put your hands up, hey

It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay

I’m living proof you could do what you never thought

And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk

Bro you should put your hands up, hey

It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay

I’m living proof you could do what you never thought

And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
