PICTURE PERFECT, IS NOT...IS ME!

PICTURE PERFECT
IS NOT
IS ME….

SO LOOK DOWN YOUR NOSE
JUDGE WHAT YOU SEE
CREATE YOUR OPINIONS
OF WHAT YOU ONCE THOUGHT.... WAS ME
AND THEN….

GOSSIP WITH HATRED
KEEP ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW
THE REAL OBSTACLES I WAS DEALT
WHEN I HAD TO GROW...UP

AND THE TEARS I SUCKED UP, WIPING AWAY
YOU NEVER HEARD......ME BEG YOU TO STAY
YOU NEVER REALLY SAW
FEAR IN YARNING EYES
BECAUSE LIFE WAS PAINTED PERFECT
FOR ALL YOUR JUDGING EYES

SO….

NO LIES
I LAY DOWN
BECAUSE I FEEL MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A FIGHT
TAGGED WRONG
BUT WHO WAS SO RIGHT

DREAMING TO BE GONE
EACH AND EVERY NIGHT...JUST TO BREATH
JUST TO FIND SOMEONE
WHO COULDN’T HELP BUT TO LOVE…. ME

YOU SEE....
IF YOU COULD SEE MY TRUTH
THROUGH THE REFLECTIONS IN MY MIND
YOU WOULD SEE A GIRL
WHO WAS TRULY IN HEART SO KIND

YOU WOULD SEE A YOUNG MOTHER
WHO REFUSED TO GIVE UP

AND YOU WOULD SEE
MY STRUGGLES
TAUGHT ME TO BE TOUGH....TO SURVIVE

SO YES I ASK WHY
I STILL HAVE TO STRIVE JUST TO BE
IN YOUR EYES THE PERSON
I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN WAS IN ME

I MEAN…
I'M NOT A DRUG DEALER
I'M NOT A HOE

AND STILL GOT THE HOUSE, THE CAR
AND A WHOLE LOT TO SHOW... DUE TO MY HARD WORK

BUT DO YOU THINK THAT DEFINES
THE TRUE VALUE OF MY WORTH

AM I READY FOR APPROVAL
CAN I FALL IN YOUR LINE
WILL I GET THE RESPECT
JUST AN INCH...ONE TIME

YES I DO HAVE A PAST
WITH EVENTS THAT WERE BIG
BUT HOW CAN YOU JUDGE
THE OBSTICALES OF A KID

BECAUSE REGARDLESS,
I’VE WORKED LIKE A CHAMP
AND I’M NOT AFRAID TO GET DIRTY
I FEEL I’M WORTH IT…. AND WORTHY

BECAUSE I KNOW I’M NOT PERFECT
BUT IF YOU CAN’T SEE
THEN JUST LIKE BACK THEN
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ME

BUT TRUST…. YOU’LL HAVE TO AGREE…..

THAT I FOCUS BECAUSE I’VE BEEN THOUGH IT
I UNDERSTAND THINGS BECAUSE I KNOW
AND I NEVER THOUGHT ONE TIME
THAT I DIDN’T HAVE TO GROW

SO WHEN YOU CAST YOUR STONES UNKNOWING
OF WHO I CAME TO BE
JUST KNOW I DID IT ALONE
AND PICTURE PERFECT
IS NOT
IS ME
