Sl1m - Perfect World Lyrics

Everybody got a story man
But not everybody willing to share it
But I wanted to share mine
This is conversations
Welcome to the tape
Hear me talk
(Hm, Hm, yeah, yeah)
I wish i woulda done some things different
I know i said i have no regrets
But i sure do wish from time to time
I could go back and change a couple things
Like Maybe the way i thought
Or Maybe my actions
If i knew then what i knew now
If not all then just a fraction
Woulda put me in a different position
To not have to hustle to come up on acquisitions
Currency runs the world but i wish it didn't
I wish you didn't have to slave just to make a living
What if we only worked to get clothes and food
Oh How nice would that be
No worries about rent or past dues
Be careful of the ones you look up to
Sometimes the matter of life and death
Cause our reasons to live are our reasons to die
The ones who we look to supply for us
Are usually the ones to leave us questioning why
Like why you leaving
Why you don't believe me
Why you don't think that if i grind i can achieve it
Cause it's depressing knowing time waits on no man
And i got people saying yeah i support you I'm a fan
But what am i putting out for them to celebrate
I feel like I'm stuck in space
Like i never had a reason in the first place
But it ain't a perfect world I know
But do i sometimes wish it was fa sho
But the fact that it isn't has be feelin so below
I still wish i woulda started writing a long time ago
But looking back gets you nowhere
Like rolling your eyes in the back of your head
They say just sleep when you die
But we more worried about staying alive
Tryna survive
Dudes really out here goin broke
Cause they wanna flex and look rich
Spend money on J's
But don't wanna raise the kids
Woah, wait
Need to have your priorities straight
I know it ain't a perfect world
But at least carry your weight
Be mindful of your state of mind
Cause how we feelin on the inside
Determine the outer product
Cross me wrong i get so outta pocket
I try not to but I'm just being honest
I try and put my words so i sound like a prophet
To make a profit
So in due time I'll be able to have a fat wallet
But let me not get off topic
Let me stay in my lane and keep it modest
I just wanna be somebody
Not necessarily famous but maybe well known
For doin what i love doin
That's why I'm always pursuin
I do what other people don't
But i feel like I'm never noticed
But i can't lose my focus
And when they tell me i ain't goin hard enough
I know that's bogus
But hey
It ain't a perfect world
Never was and probably never will
I'll just make sure i put in my will
Somethin more than money
Like education and jobs and prosperity
For my youngins growing up in this new time
Everyday I'm comin up with a new rhyme
Everyday people gettin charged with a new crime
But everyday ima go harder so one day I'll shine
And remember that my journey is nobody else's
But mine
