Pretending Perfection - Huey Mack

I don’t really know what the future gonna hold

I just want the things that I dreamed to come true

I don’t really know all the things you’ve been told

Just wanna tell the story of the boy named Hue

And I don’t really know what’s left in store

But I ain’t pretending perfection no more

They say I’m not a star and they’re probably right

But I didn’t work my whole life to take their advice

Don’t look like Channing Tatum, can’t sing like JT

But one thing I will never do is let it break me

Opposite of a winner, cards on the table, I bust

But for once it’s time to say enough is enough and fight back

They used to say I was a wanna-be but the thing about me is

I can be whoever I wanna be, I’ve been down, I can make it rich or poor

And the only time I’m ever selling out is on tour

So if I say I’m a winner, then I’m a mother fucking winner

Time to give them something they can remember

Yeah!

I’m really just like you

Never thought I’d be a rapper

Just did it cause it was cool

Just a stubborn kid, I was never supposed to be this

At first they were Lindsay Lohans, everybody was the meanest

Now they got high hopes for me

I’m the fucking voice

For these average ass kids who never had a choice

But to follow the leader and go to class

Make 60k in a year, then get half of that shit taxed

So I dropped out, gave up everything in hopes to get something

My mom lost hers, so I get her the crib she wanted

And from where I stand my fans were the only help

Told the label I’ll call them later and did it myself

Always knew who I was gonna be

Never been who they want from me

All alone, all by myself

Did my own thing without no help

Tried to tell me, tried to sell me short

But I determined my worth

From that West Virginia dirt

My gift, my fear, my curse
