Imperfect - K Rino

How can I perfect myself, I just wanna learn the ways

Many chapters in the book of life, you gotta turn the page

Lying and chicanery, no more living dangerously

You ain’t with me every day so you don’t see the change in me

Yeah it’s been a long road, evil got a strong hold

They say I ain’t perfect, tell me something that I don’t know

Runnin' tryin' to make up ground, ain’t no time to play around

Every time I plan my rise, others plot to take me down

Yeah man it’s a dirty game, got them words from Murder One

Any time I’m 'bout to judge, I think about the dirt I done

I’mma try to find the top, whether people ride or not

Some say they have no regrets, I can’t lie I got a lot

Keep your ignorant opinions, see I don’t need none of them

There’s only ten or twelve people I trust and you not one of them

I knew that I’d be criticised, slandered with opposing talk

So why would I complain about a path that I chose to walk?

Made mistakes while tryin' to build

I’m not perfect, but I still

Keep my focus, keep my pride

Don’t allow no hate inside

I took some chances to prevail

Some would work out, some would fail

But in the end though none agree

When y’all are gone I’ll still be me

It’s getting harder to survive, all you wanna do is hide

Wished that you could make it stop, contemplated suicide

If you that stupid, try it, there won’t be no intervention

Some people need help for real, you just tryin' to get attention

Put my demons on a page, exercise 'em vocally

People criticse me daily, who the hell you supposed to be?

Judge me all the way through, hateful and ungrateful

Ridiculing me for trying to drop knowledge and save you

The damn nerve of you, I did that 'cus I loved you

Always walked among the people, never stood above you

My brain had no piece of time, tryin' to write some decent lines

Every move I made up in this shit I had the streets in mind

Never changed scenery, some hate me instinctively

You think I lose sleep worrying about what people think of me?

Lot of people know the truth, most of 'em just scared to tell it

Observing my soul, I guess they made because I didn’t sell it

You say that my work is worthless, in vain, not worth a damn

Well I guess there’s plenty artist doing better than I am

With way more money, way more power, none of them you tryin' to touch

But if I’m so irrelevant, why the hell am I on your mind so much?

In your eyes, governments and dirty cops do not apply

Dragon growling at you, why the hell you try to swat a fly?

Y’all don’t wanna unify, to you I’ve done nothing, dude

I ain’t poisonin' the food, I ain’t shootin' up no schools

I ain’t sellin' dope and guns, I ain’t stealin' from the poor

You must be a undercover agent, who you working for?

Go at me, I’ll go at you, make sure that you tell 'em that

Any time you see success, you’l see where the jealous at
