Yasiin Bey - Perfectionists lyrics

[Invincible] Why you up in the game if you ain't trying to be the best at it? Makin' this music less stagnant A lotta y'all claim to be the best, well let's have it Or I'm blowin' holes all up in your flows like mesh fabric You lovin' the sound of your own voice I hold mics like I'm pro-life, leaving you no choice But to put it down now, come to terms with your sloppiness It's obvious, my pa**ion's what your hobby is Got a strong hunger for makin' the song bu*ter Regardless what you called But you dialed the wrong number [Pri the Honey Dark] The sky's the limit, applying 110 Percent, remove the timid like removing old trends Don't hate on me Because I stay givin' ‘em more than what they bargained for And all the weak retreat Like they fleein' out of a project door Setting the score, resting a**ured I‘m destined to soar Blessing each session, I reckon you want more Of that rare commodity The quality is what it's gotta be Yet my philosophy is much farther than what your eyes could see [Chorus - all][x2] We the best in this Close enough don't cut it Ain't no estimates We perfectionists We work hard for the money But the question is Y'all work hard for y'all money? Perfectionists First we're gonna bring the sh** ‘Cause we know we rippin' it Infinite like arithmetic, while you impotent Every time that we deliver it, this sh**'s deliberate Break it down into increments for the ignorant Intricate, using my vocal chords to open doors You's a hopeless cause Leave you with a broken jaw Bring applause in cycles like menopause We perfectionists Got you open for more Since I first ripped it My life has been immersed in this Now I know I'm maaad nice And a worse critic Every word spitted with perseverance To outshine your whole tape with my guest appearance You step to this? I doubt it, but I'm a pessimist Come get a glimpse How I make it look effortless Never in a hurry, ‘cause it's all about the journey If you heard me, you's the jury My words serve as my attorney You half-a**ed cats get the fast cash Need to rock a gas mask now See who got the last laugh [Helixx] In exposin' the notion I'm hopin' to find a closin' to my question [What's your question Helixx?] Why is half an exception? Exception to the rules for half-a**ed Half-willin' and half-able Halfway is not half of the bill to pay cable Frustrated cause I'm one of the last of the Mohicans Master of my craft The head of my cla** without speakin' [Why?] ‘Cause I stay progressin' Only see success when I never settle for less I must confess I'm a perfectionist Diggin' deep like the Exorcist The rest are now pa**in' the buck, show them the exit kid [Chorus - all][x4] We the best in this Close enough don't cut it Ain't no estimates We perfectionists We work hard for the money But the question is Y'all work hard for y'all money? Perfectionists The Anomolies crew, we Perfectionists The Athletic Mic League be Perfectionists MI to NY Perfectionists Supa Dave West, hold me down, ‘cmon! 1,1,1-2 y'all
