​perfect

[Part I]

[Intro]
Don't you understand?
What don’t you understand?
What don't you understand?
What don't you understand?

[Verse 1]
Why don’t you understand how I feel?
What don't you understand by "I just can't sit still"?
Why don't you ever ask the reason for why I'm not doing well?
Not just in school but in some other things as well
How come everyone else loves me when I don't?
How come whenever I take tests I'm a dolt?
Every day I ask God why I wasn't born normal
Then I remember I gotta be the perfect one

[Part II]

[Chorus]
Like damn, why I gotta be perfect?
Can my friends not see that I’m hurtin’?
One day, one time (One time)
Gotta lock in and get on my grind
Gotta brush it off, gotta thug it out, smile
I don't got a girl ’cause these hoes be wildin'
She said she a ten, why the fuck is she lyin'?
That's what I ask when I’m telling mom I'm fine

[Verse 2]
Got no time for worrying 'bout anything else
Playing all these games with me, could call you Michael Phelps
Who the fuck said that I needed some help?
This is my requiem for my future self
Caught off guard but I'm not Odell
I'm not a loser, I'm not a infidel
Putting up numbers, doing better than Snell
No 1's and 0's 'cause I don't work for Dell

[Chorus]
Like damn, why I gotta be perfect?
Can my friends not see that I'm hurtin'?
One day, one time (One time)
Gotta lock in and get on my grind
Gotta brush it off, gotta thug it out, smile
I don't got a girl 'cause these hoes be wildin'
She said she a ten, why the fuck is she lyin'?
That's what I ask when I'm telling mom I'm fine
