Roskopp - Perfektion lyrics

[First Verse] Don't say I didn't tell ya I think I'm goin' crazy Pursuit of perfection got me holdin' breath for days lately Caught up in the chase of the greatly really phases me They say step one is awareness 'stead of raisin' me it's bringin' me down Mayday mayday the plane's 'bout to crash and I need a way out Not afraid of the clout but the moments of terror as we fallin' down Through space is what I feel like when I create Tryna' past the bar every time But regardless I don't feel as free as I use to be 'stead it's like a grind Like I'm in line of the factory Befo' I die I won't make a song that is whik-whik wackety So you know what? f** talkin' 'bout it | time to act about it You live and learn | 'stead of my lips I let my body mouth it Don't care what others think long as I don't doubt it - Can't let perfection stop me homie time to get on 'bout it [Second Verse] Perfection is subjective in that sense I don't stress What I'm talkin' 'bout is when the self can't decide on what's best To tell you the truth this is why I don't produce Will always be on the quest for the perfect sound sh** like that I can't choose What do you call this? An artist's dilemma? Like if you had to what would you have on your skin no it ain't henna S'posed to inspire but fo' me it's discouragin' - But behold that inner voice that finds a way to be encouragin' So even though my spirit's low I don't lose cause I don't give up The soul never dies forever lives it can't be shutted up Gotta trust my instincts listen to my heart play my part Don't worry 'bout perfection after all this is art And the large part of art is accepting mistakes Learning from any source and knowing what lessons to take Fear's like an eagle who won't fly Stupid like the butcher won't get the meat at the top shelf Cause the stakes are too high muthaf**a [Third Verse] Get on wit it man it's perfect perfect Life's a wave man go surf it surf it Standing still will just have you sink Do you think that is worth it worth it? From now on its free flow on the go fast or slow Long as I don't stop moving forward, no to and fro On one of my shirts is this quote Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes Art is knowing which ones to keep, ya know?
