Perfect

(Verse 1)

In order to prevail you oughta plot a scheme
In baseball I’ve learned to fail more than I succeed
Which taught me how to deal with problems when they would come up
I’m a monster and a lover filled with bottomless hunger
It’s the quest I’m on to try to find unsolvable answers
The stress from tryna live up to impossible standards
Than that’s when Static’s inner passion came together
And Sam started rappin’ as a reaction to the pressure
I’m the truth in the flesh, always spewin’ it best
So anything rumored as less, I’ll refuse to accept
I’m a Hip Hop purest, MC at all costs
Tweakin’ these bars until they’re free of all flaws
My own worst critic, fussin’ over sucker shit
Forgettin’ I once did it for the fun and for the love of it
To only cover up what hides beneath the surface
At times I wonder if it’s worth it, striving to be Perfect

(Verse 2)

As long as I can say my message was heard
I’m content with every word, my intentions are pure
With so many suggestions the jealousy is endless
Till part of me feels defenseless, it’s hard to deal with friendships
I’ve given up on treating peers with respect
Cause I’m not able to live up to their idea of success
They see my wallet then lecture me with their logic
Potential for their pocket, the pressure to make a profit
But I hold the only protection to my legacy
And been too consistent for you to question my integrity
They tell me “Spit that hardcore”, “Keep the beats lethal”
But I shouldn’t have to speak evil just to please people
And all I hear about’s what they would do if they were me
But it’s plain to see you would’ve settled for complacency
Or maybe they just wanna see me do well
But either way nobody’s been harder on me than myself
