"Perfect" lyrics
(feat. Krizz Kaliko)
I am insecure at the way I appear
I fear every time that I look in the mirror
It's clear all I'm shedding are tears, and I travel a bad path every way that I steer
You will be judged by the world that we live in
And if you're not a model, then you don't fit the image
I don't feel attractive in the body I was given
But we are not perfect, try to let it sink in
Stomach gets too big, silhouette is too wide
Clothes, they don't fit unless it's a large size
I'm tired and so sick of livin' a damn lie
I hate that I am judged 'cause of my body type
I am so sick of what the media sells
Every day, I struggle, and it feels like hell
I really wanna learn how to love myself
And become a better me, but I'm gonna need help
I wanna be perfect (Perfect)
But I can't change who I am as a person
Worthless (Worthless)
When I feel everydays like I have no purpose
Nervous (Nervous)
'Cause I still hate how I look on the surface
Perfect (Perfect)
I wanna be perfect, perfect
Look, I'm a big dude with some man boobs
I don't know what they puttin' in this damn food
Get screwed from the things that I choose is like gettin' punished from everything that you do
Never thought I'd be a hubby 'cause I'm a little chubby, with everybody above me, and thought no one would love me
As a kid, see, they told me I was special
But that ain't make sense, do Lizzo make that acceptable?
While feelin' like a spectacle, we never get acceptable with everything edible
Feels like it's hurtin' my medical state
If I can just get to a much better weight
I got a brand new diet, it should be a peace of cake (Okay)
And I never liked my face, feel like I'm runnin' in circles, but I'm standin' in place
And anxiety still freaks me out and makes me nervous, tryna understand my purpose
But I wanna be perfect (Perfect)
A common dude with a six-pack (Yeah)
Not last, picked first for the thirst trap
It's the worst when you feelin' like you cursed you
You don't even like that, but your belt about to burst, oh well
Big dudes are in, I guess
Less ain't more, and more ain't less, I guess
I guess life is worth it, just tryna understand my purpose
But I—
I wanna be perfect (Perfect, okay)
But I can't change who I am as a person
Worthless (Worthless)
When I feel everydays like I have no purpose
Nervous (Nervous)
'Cause I still hate how I look on the surface
Perfect (Perfect)
I wanna be perfect, perfect (Perfect)
(Worthless, no purpose, worthless)
(I still hate how I look on the surface)
(Perfect)
I fear every time that I look in the mirror
It's clear all I'm shedding are tears, and I travel a bad path every way that I steer
You will be judged by the world that we live in
And if you're not a model, then you don't fit the image
I don't feel attractive in the body I was given
But we are not perfect, try to let it sink in
Stomach gets too big, silhouette is too wide
Clothes, they don't fit unless it's a large size
I'm tired and so sick of livin' a damn lie
I hate that I am judged 'cause of my body type
I am so sick of what the media sells
Every day, I struggle, and it feels like hell
I really wanna learn how to love myself
And become a better me, but I'm gonna need help
I wanna be perfect (Perfect)
But I can't change who I am as a person
Worthless (Worthless)
When I feel everydays like I have no purpose
Nervous (Nervous)
'Cause I still hate how I look on the surface
Perfect (Perfect)
I wanna be perfect, perfect
Look, I'm a big dude with some man boobs
I don't know what they puttin' in this damn food

I wanna be perfect, perfect (Perfect)
(Worthless, no purpose, worthless)
