Pick apart another day
Sunlight beaming in my face
Close the blinds and find the shade
Tell the sun to go away
I’ll control what I can
It's a means to an end
Paint another masterpiece
Take one step back and then critique
Wet to dry, the colors weak
So I don’t have the right to speak
Create then take it back
Settle metal and perfect
Mx. Perfectionist
I need the best and nothing less
I’m as flawless as it gets
(Yuh) I’m convinced I’m heaven-sent
Mx. Perfectionist, must be better than
Cuz I’m not enough, enough for myself
I’m afraid I’ll be yearning for a crown
Until I’m not around down, six feet in the ground
Dissatisfied and unfulfilled
I’m terrified that nothing will
Ever suffice. So why do I even try?
I’m the imposter’s hostage. He lives in my conscience
He tried to take away my confidence
He told me he is me and I am him
I turned his pressure into diamonds
Destiny, what does she hold?
Victory, trophies, and gold
Built this shit all on my own
Watch me sit up on my throne
Mx. Perfectionist
I need the best and nothing less
I’m as flawless as it gets
(Yuh) I’m convinced I’m heaven-sent
Mx. Perfectionist, must be better than
Cuz I’m not enough, enough for myself
I’m afraid I’ll be yearning for a crown
Until I’m not around down, six ft in the ground
Comparative narratives make me arrogant
It’s either I’m the best or an embarrassment
It ain’t that deep but my nervous system swears it is
I must defeat these comparisons, it’s imperative
It must be perfect or it’s worthless
It must be, it must be
It must be perfect or it’s worthless
It must be, it must be
