[Verse 1: Ibukun]
It dont matter who I'm versus
Reimbursing all their curses
Dream about when world was perfect
This for niggas in the circuit
Let my life be of service
Instead of asking for a quote
Instead of feeding them false hope
Do you feel me in the cold?
Do you feel me in the cold shivers?
Hard liquor that’s inside my liver
I survived the winter
I paint a finer picture
I see the routes to free them out so they'll see they sisters
And their mothers and daughters instead of facing the slaughter
It's funny how the pigs tryna treat us like cattle
Break all the chains never wanna be the chattel
We live in the shadows
Tryna move to meadows
This for all my fellas
This for all my niggas
And for all them bitches who ain’t really fuck with us
I can't figure it out
'Cause they ain't hearing me out
It ain't like days of old
They write to rhythms for clout
I write to rhythms to save the souls of children who ain't the centerfold of attention
They testing their drug retention and act passive to the present presently passing as peasants until the day they reach zenith
Some questions:
Am I a leader if I pour into liters?
Can we keep up with the lies they be teaching?
Can't keep the peace when I'm just thrown in a precinct
I’m freezing, I got the heat of ambition
In my eyes I see visions but
In my mind I’m still dishing destruction to every faction
I'm erudite while you scared to write , I’m taking action
And I'm lacking the tolerance for nonsense
Stay conscious, give a fuck about your comment
I'm riding comets while I pen my sonnets
Flow's Xxxplosive, bro I spit the Chronic
See the world in Mizutani garments
I lost my mind in my days of confinement
[Chorus: Connor]
We ain’t picture perfect, but I'm picturing perfect and I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you (x2)
I'm so cold walking down this road, I don't need you baby, but you fill my soul (x2)
[Verse 2: Hoff]
Here's a penny for your thoughts, I just wanna know
If I do this by my lonely how far would I go?
I'm on this coaster, I can't ride by myself
I just want to be the greatest, I think I need some help
But
I hope you proud of me
This dude I grew to be
I'm doing everything you thought I would, look at me
Coincidentally, you became who I thought
I'm looking back on it now, man I guess it's my fault but
I live for now and the future gets better
If I had a choice, I would be here forever
Life is short, dont you question the length
The mind is power I'm using all of my strength 'cause
Ain't shit promised, except for the light
I see 50 Shades of Grey, ain't nothing black and white
If the world was perfect, I would know what to say
If I could walk on water you wouldn't need to pray
If the world was perfect, I'd make you smile every day
And I wouldn't pick the phone up when she hits me to lay
If the world was perfect, I'd take away your pain
If roles reversed, I'd know you'd do the same
Ain't shit perfect, but you're perfect for me
I'll give you all my love unconditionally
[Verse 3: Eric]
If the world was perfect, I wouldn't regret
If the world was perfect, I wouldn't forget
About the good times, 'Cause there's not many of that
My mind's flooded by the bad times, constantly reminded 'bout that
Remember coldest of winters, so sad and alone
Remember not seeing friends, didn't answer my phone
Remember my first heartbreak, that shit changed me for real
I don't think I can love, I'm more scared to just feel
I'm an incomplete puzzle, I'm missing a piece
I'm that new Roc-A-Fella chain that's missing a link
Out my heart when I see you, probably skipping a beat
I start to feel better but then that shit goes and repeats
[Chorus: Connor]
We ain't picture perfect, but I'm picturing perfect and I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you (x2)
I'm so cold walking down this road, I don't need you baby, but you fill my soul (x2)
