    IMPERFECTIONS

    Perfect

    had 2 reverse direction

    lead with discretion

    and hopefully you can

    learn 2 love my imperfections

     

    check it out...

    never

    ever

    ever again

    and never after that

    will i let the sleek

    words i speak

    get in the way of facts

    my  verbal attacks

    not about what you was doin

    but what i lacked

    breakin up with you on sunday

    sayin some day

    we can at least  be friends

    then some way

    finding a way that very same sunday

    2 ask for you back

    people thinkin i was sweet

    testimony from ladies i would meet

    but my soul 

    was coal

    black

    dusty

    musty

    hard  2 read

    ignoring 

    the redness in your eyes

    the tears you would cry

    pouring

    from your  tear sacs

    thinkin i had the inside track

    never knew what i was lacking

    striking out every time 

    i came up 2 bat

    always havin a plan of attack

    actin like a political 

    hack

    my metaphysical

    no longer lyrical

    thinkin i was an alpha male

    but in the pale moon

    howling with the pack

     

    he said

    she  said

    takin drama  2 bed

    before we wed

    distrust

    disgust

    left 4 dead

    a love mislead

    so 

    i knew it was time 2 reverse direction

    lead with discretion

    and hope one day

    some way

    you could learn 2 love my imperfections

     

    check it out  baby....

    sayin i wasnt jealous

    but damn

    my head  was buried in the sand

    there never was another man

    just me being lost in foolish thought

    feeling  like i was a free black man

    on monday

    by tuesday

    feeling like a runaway

    slave massa caught

    always was a self starter

    now here i was tryin 2 barter

    a love i had always sought

    could have been

    should have been

    almost dee never again

    this is all 4 naught

    i was fraught 

    with inconsistentcy

    leaving you distraught

    hearin you say 2 your girlfriend

    this love is feeble

    i am tired of prayin at midnight

    in the garden of good and evil

    tired of his felonious mental assaults

    i was taught

    real men dont reveal too much

    as such

    my past relationships were a crutch

    that is why we always fought

    real rap baby

    i am sick

    of makin you tired

     

    he said 

    she said

    takin drama 2 bed

    before we wed

    distrust

    disgust

    left 4 dead

    a love  mislead

    so 

    i knew  it was time 

    2 reverse direction

    lead with discretion

    and hope one day

    some way

    you could learn 2 love my imperfections

     

    you know what i am sayin is true

    check it out...

    aint no perfect love out here

    i know trust

    must be earned

    how many times  will a woman 

    get close 2 the fire

    before losing the desire

    2 get burned

    i was trippin

    slippin 

    actin like those brothas

    who sip their own sperm

    watching helplessly

    as my irrationality

    became ashes of my insincerity

    an example 

    sitting on the mantle

    stored in a decorative urn

    you always whispering 2 me

    dee

    when are you going 2 stop

    orbiting saturn

    and return

    actin like a grown azz man on wenesday

    on thursday

    actin like i am on an umbilical

    nonsensical

    you cant discern

    god was my judge

    so i hired a law firm

    but my case was so weak

    before i could speak

    court was ajourned

    every way you turned

    leaving  you concerned

    feeling your stomach churn

    if i dont  come correct

    i cant expect

    you 2 serve a second term

     

    not with the ...

    he said

    she said

    takin drama 2 sleep

    before we wed

    distrust

    disgust

    left 4 dead

    a love mislead

    so

    i knew it was time 2 reverse direction

    lead with discretion

    and hope one day

    some way

    you could learn 2 love my imperfections
