pride.

love's gonna get you killed

but pride's gonna be the death of you and you and me

and you and you and you and me

and you and you and you and me

and you and you and you and me and-

me

i wasn't taught to share

but care

me

i wasn't taught to share

but care

hell-raising

wheel-chasing

new worldy possessions

flesh-making

spirit-breaking

which one would you lessen?

the better part

the human heart

you love 'em or dissect 'em

happiness or flashiness? how do you serve the question?

see

in the perfect world

i would be perfect

world

i don't trust people enough beyond they surface

world

i don't love people enough to put my faith in men

i put my faith in these lyrics

hoping i make amend

i understand i ain't perfect

i probably won't come around

this time

i might put you down

last time

i ain't give a fuck

i still feel the same now

my feelings might go numb

you're dealing with cold thumb

i'm willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from

pity parties and functions and you and yours

a perfect world

you probably live another 24

i can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure

i can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure

me

i wasn't taught to share

but care

in another life

i surely was there

me

i wasn't taught to share

but care

maybe i wasn't there

maybe i wasn't there

maybe i wasn't there

maybe i wasn't there

now

in a perfect world

i probably won't be insensitive

cold as december

but never remember what winter did

i wouldn't blame you for mistakes i made or the bed i laid

seems like i point the finger just to make a point nowadays

smiles and cold stares

the temperature goes there

indigenous disposition

feel like we belong here

i know the walls

they can listen

i wish they could talk back

the hurt becomes repetition

the love almost lost that

sick venom in men and women overcome with pride

a perfect world is never perfect

only filled with lies

promises are broken and more resentment come alive

race barriers make inferior of you and i

see

in a perfect world

i'll choose faith over riches

i'll choose work over bitches

i'll make schools out of prison

i'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service

just to tell 'em we ain't shit

but he's been perfect
