9th Wonder
Imperfect World
[Intro]
Imperfect world
Imperfect world
[Verse 1: L.E.G.A.C.Y.]
It‘s a hectic life, for war urge fills the globe
With a nacked knife Norbert killed Nicole
Beat the shit out the case, two for one
Or she couldn‘t get out the place
Horrible like the murders of Sharon Tate
Seconds decrease till the end of time
The sequel to mankind
Long awaited twice as deep
Awake! Shit no time to sleep
Count your blessing and take it
This depression the greatest
Severance payoffs from terrible layoffs
Who shot tortoise in the job markets
Feel you can‘t win
Somehow still standing I stagger on
Mad at the taliban, making it hard for me to get crowned
They shuttin down the borders
Where the fuck is my daughter
Maybe overseas, it‘s crazy
Burning a hole in me
Imperfect is real yo
In a world that‘s cold like the other side of the pillow
[Hook: Phonte & Keisha Shontelle]
In this world we live in
Just hold on don‘t give in
Keep your faith, don‘t go astray
(Living in plus that‘s) in this so imperfect world
[Verse 2: L.E.G.A.C.Y.]
What‘s more fucked up
George Bush don‘t love us
Social security cut up
Can‘t feed old timers
We don‘t want beaf with China
For our fate we all wait
Let them keep the plane for god‘s sake
Confessing to Christ for a better life
Damn who killed Barettas wife
Mrs. Blake twisted hate, unsolved murders
Big company mergers, big time corporations
In real time extort the nation
Right under our nose like mustaches
Drug overdoses from drug habits
Still hate life, the Ted Turner and Bill Gates types
To the little dreamers, and middle fingers
To all cops that rush all the spots
Go to church the preacher got the hottest whip in the parking lot
Where‘s religion? Impaired!
Where‘s the vision? Who‘s the teacher?
Nobody taugh Nate not to shoot the teacher in Florida
Sodom and Gomorrah rush
City in flames, McVeigh screaming give me the pain
Death sentene to the homeless on benches
The children with flies on their face
And you spend 20 mill just to fly in the space
Kids bleeding, so many guns in school
I don‘t even want my son in school
[Hook]
In this world we live in
Just hold on don‘t give in
Keep your faith, don‘t go astray
(Living in plus that‘s) in this so imperfect world
[Comment: L.E.G.A.C.Y.]
You know, you met me in a strange part of my life
