Lyrics
[INTRO]
There's nothing wrong with retracing your steps or admitting your mistakes
Se wo were fi na wosankofa aa yeenkyi
"It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten"
Need to learn to forgive ourselves if we arent perfect traversing this imperfect world
We are allowed to make mistakes, there has to be a reason an eraser was invented
And know we can always go back and restart, reset, take deep breaths
[VERSE: ede]
F1, my heart always racing
That mental crisis state
Bro, I eat junk as occupation
My status? Isolation
Can't get it enough at this side of the matrix
Feel like the NPC with the worst innovation
Sleep in echo of chambers of Satan
On my knees still praying
Hating myself at best, binoculars
Toward the lies I set the Eighty thousand pests
Around my neck I dread
My regret is that I can't reject
Whatever lemons life gave till this age I'm at
What is it? not like the alphabets
Evolve my social class, hedonist sociopath
With no ego to work with so I avoid new friends
Can't overshare, better save the sesh
Work hard, play hard, Gotta keep going
Burn out, Too far and I keep going
Too hard, Too far and it cease flowing
Look!
I've stayed a mess, I gotta face my friends
I kinda sound intense, I made some bet
With myself and that's my straining force
My thorn in the flesh
[VERSE: Mistersrado]
I was born in sin
How dare you call me perfect
Tell me your story, tell me your journey
It's not as fine as a pic on pinterest
The greatest ever project I worked on is myself
But it seems I can never finish and stuff it on shelf
Granny said to always finish every food that's on the plate (that's an essay)
Don't let a grain go to waste (that's an essay)
Don't let the pain show on your face (that's an essay)
Why am I expected to live this way
Perfection expected
But on the same person expecting Perfection is neglected
Sunny days and rainy days
Dark nights, the broken prays
Hoping that a way be paved
And may her sick son be saved
He's only sixteen, how's his heart failing
Too soon to get a grave
I guess the world it self ain't perfect
But it wants us to be slaves
Or it wants us to be brave
[BRIDGE]
I know damn well
I Was a stuck-up christian with them flaws
Underneath the cloak I don't like it anymore
Like it anymore
The shrivelling behind closed doors
Dawg, I'm sulking
Pardon the mister I don't need no help
I don't like it anymore
But I don't like it anymore
If emotion fist fight you, like you depressed or dull
Level 1, 2, 3, and more
Reach your family cause you're bored
Reach your family be
Reach your family cause you're bored
Reach your family be reborn
[OUTRO]
Running from my shadow, now I’m through with the chase,
Tried to polish every flaw, tried to cover every trace.
But I’m bruised and I’m bent, still I stand where I am,
I’m not a broken soul, just an imperfect man.
I stumble when I love, I fall when I care,
Got pride in my pocket and doubt in the air.
If failure’s a teacher, I’m learning its plan,
Learning to love me, the imperfect man
