[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]
