Perfect

[From The Top Intro] It feels good to be on top, I said it feels good to be on top (now put your hands up high) It feels good to be on top, you know it feels good to be on top (so put your hands up high) It feels good to be on top, it feels so good to be on top (now put your hands up high) It feels good to be on top, you know it feels good to be on top [Intro] Is this what the top feels like? Or is this not real life? Or am I only getting started? Will I ever be the greatest? Man you god damn right I've never been in a spot this bright So I guess I have to rock this mic Because I know you only get one shot at this life I guess this is what the top feels like [Hook] But is it worth it? Is this my purpose? Do you strive to get by? Or do you strive to be perfect? Bravo! [Verse] Overcoming the obstacles, hopping over the hurdles I'm moving fast as the hare with resilience of the turtle And now, they're calling me the lone sock cause I'm unmatched But fun fact: it wasn't always bright skies and sunshine And I didn't always make it out the battle as unscratched But even with my back against the wall, I know one fact No matter how many times that I'm hit, I'mma punch back I done took more hits than a punch bag But I always got back up And I played Jenga when the odds were stacked up Now I'm running shit and they ain't ever gon catch us They ain't hot, dawg, ain't no way they can catch up No way that they'll pass us Cause if there's one thing that I've learned: Hell is hot They said I couldn't play sports no more cause my elbow's shot They said I won't be achieving what I was scheming Then they gave me Diabetes and I'm like "sweet, what else ya got?" I'm like, when will the scrutiny end? When will my real life truly begin? Then they said my cousin died in that crash Grabbed my pen and my pad, now I do this for him Cause I love overcoming the odds And I love defying the Gods And I put it on the line for you all to see I always give you all of me [Hook] But is it worth it? Is this my purpose? With all I've been through in the past It's forcing me to ask, is it worth it? Said is it worth it? What makes it all worth it? Do you strive to get by? Or do you strive to be perfect? [Outro] Is this what the top feels like? Or is this not real life? Or am I only getting started? Will I ever be the greatest? Man you god damn right I've never been in a spot this bright So I guess I have to rock this mic Because I know you only get one shot at this life I guess this is what the top feels like But is it worth it? Is this my purpose? Do you strive to get by? Or do you strive to be perfect? Is it worth it? Is this my purpose? Do you strive to get by? Or do you strive to be perfect?
