Тати (Tati) - Paint the Perfect Picture lyrics
[Intro] Yea, ugh [Verse 1] She looks at herself in the mirror and questions god What did i do to deserve all of these flaws My insides are pure but hell so is the rest Yet my outer appearance is what these people address I survey the people around me and i feel alone That I'm the only one he didn't spend his time on I turn to the right and see something other than flat I look to the back and see something clearly not fat I look at my face and instantly look from it Eye lashes, eye brow,s and this stash i can't stomach I gotta get touched up before i get looked at And throw on some make up so these n**uhs can holla back And all these insecurities have got me feeling less secure That i will ever find a man that will show value in my worth Its sad, i pray to someone i can't see Someone i don't think cares 'bout me He cares 'bout you and you and i've come to believe That i'm the only person not living happily I know you here i know you hear me Please give me something to believe please You too the brush and you pointed it at me The picture may not be perfect but its still a masterpiece [Chorus 1: Tati} I've tried and tried To wrap my head around all of me I've cried and cried Lord know's its blinded me We livin' in the perfect situation Stroke by stroke you've made a special something You painted the perfect picture You painted the perfect picture You painted the perfect picture [Verse 2] He looks at himself in the mirror feelin distraught So many questions to the things that he was taught Sunday school preached about being made in his image Which must of been blurry or just wasn't meant for me, my Homies they looking and feeling amazing Picture perfect style and there's no way they would change He smiles, and throws on the shades so he can see He licks across metal as he shines up his teeth Never been a ladies magnet every pitch was a curve So many lines have been cast ain't much left in the sea Just looking for love where's cupid when you need em My glow up lightly pending but there's so much underneath em I've always wondered, did he really paint me right All the thoughts that i've thought i don't think he paid the price Never have felt like my life actually had meaning My n**uhs k** me in every category i can thing I hate to be a downer but that's the way it's come to be That's why when i pray i feel like i'm just talking to me I know you hear i know you hear me Please give me something to believe please You too the brush and you pointed it at me The picture may not be perfect but its still a masterpiece [Chorus 2: Jaay Watt] [Verse 3] When you look at me what do you see A young n**uh with dreams bigger than galaxies A young n**uh not good enough for anything Blind with the shades And round with the waist Let me give you a mirror image of what you can see Believe me there's been times i've lived in fantasies Caught up thinking i was a perfect 6'5 With crystal clear blue eyes Able to snatch up any woman with a hay, wa**up, or hi But im far from it and to be honest it's sickening Listening to all these people know whats not right with me God! What is perfection? What is the reason why I wasn't selected? What is the reason why you can't really talk to me And tell me Ki this is the way that it's meant to be? God! What is acceptance? What is taking a hold of the stuff you can't mess with? What is life being comfortable in your very own skin Instead of committing a sin a**ume you can forget? This is me I'm a chubby lightskin with a fro I've learned you can be happy if you let yourself know He took the brush and he pointed it at me The picture may not be perfect but it's still a masterpiece BoyKi [Chorus 3: BoyKi]
