Perfect Blue

I just want my seeds to be greater than I am
I could never say I'm perfect, but could say I was a man
I done did a lot of things when they wasn't in my plans
I could write a million songs and you wouldn't understand
Like a palm reader, got the future in my hands
Makin' music for myself, I don't do it for the fans

I don't mean the streams don't mean a lot
I just mean if I always tryna satisfy y'all, it'd be easy for me to stop
Like when I'm doin' one thing, they want the other
Puttin' stress on a brother
Got me feeling like I'm less
When I'm blessed with the gift of gab
Some niggas would kill to have half of it
When you sell your soul, there ain't no comin' back from it
Back up against the wall, but I'm still buildin'
I be in the cut that's the way I do my healin'
I ain't tryna be appealin' just wanna give em the feelin'
Lord's willin', ima keep killin' it and make a killin'
Not perfect, matter fact I got song called "Flaws"
Not perfect but I'm far from a long lost cause
I been correctin' myself, expressin' myself
I been learnin' I should never think less of myself
Yeah

I just want my seeds to be greater than I am
I could never say I'm perfect, but could say I was a man
I done did a lot of things when they wasn't in my plans
I could write a million songs and you wouldn't understand
Like a palm reader, got the future in my hands
Making music for myself, I don't do it for the fans

I do it for the passion first and that's why you could feel it when I rap a verse
I make my best songs when I'm at my worst
My mama told me that she knew I was special at my birth
But I know to be who I wanna be, I'ma have to work
I'ma have to stay focused, I could be gone in a flash
I'm makin' songs that'll last
They always seen me as clean, lately I'm talkin' my trash
Takin' these artists to class
I ain't rappin' for marketing ads
Man this is all that I have
All that I ask is leave my mistakes all in the past
I ain't perfect
Nobody walkin' this Earth's surface is
But girlfriend, work with the kid
Yeah
And I'm learnin' from the worst that I did
And it's people that be dependin' on the words that I give
And so I stand by 'em
That's the type of man I am
I could never say I'm perfect but I am tryin'
But without the mistakes
We wouldn't know how to be great
Without the mistakes
We wouldn't know how to be great
