Yeah
I just want everything to be perfect, everything to fit into place
House, food on the table and some liquor to chase
But my mum's still hooked on how cigarettes taste
And my dad lost his eye and a bit of his face
About a month back 'cause of cancer
Tryna figure how to really deal, no Evander
The sort of shit can make you jump off the veranda
When peeps that don't know you seem to think that you're a wanker
But I don't harbor no anger to 'em
My big brother's overseas, wonder how he's doin'
Wish that he could be home with us
He a loner at heart so worry if he's on his own too much
And I owe so much to the fam
That I'm feelin' like a failure when I can't even lend a hand
On the money front, I'm hopin' things is on the up and up
With my career, fingers crossed I don't fuck it up
But all it takes is one man and one word
And the greatest song, make it go unheard
Lord knows there was better men before me
That went under the radar, kid, you know the story
So I ain't mad at stations who don't play my recordings
I'm just fuckin' happy that I'm performin'
And that you listenin' to me
Right now, you'll see
So you should put your hands up, hey
It ain't perfect but we be doin' okay
I'm livin' proof you can do what you never thought
And best believe it's the truth that you hear me talk
Bro, you should put your hands up, hey
It ain't perfect but we be doin' okay
I'm livin' proof you can do what you never thought
And best believe it's the truth that you hear me talk (Yeah, yeah)
Where we headed now? There ain't no guessin'
But I'm tired of hearin' the same old questions
"When you gonna find a real profession?"
I don't need a reminder, bro, stop stressin'
I'd rather keep messin' with this music shit and hardly make a cent
Before I go David Brent just to pay the rent
Because an office cubicle's not suitable
When you're the star but they tryna make you play the bench
I ain't content with that
I won't stop to surrender like Temper Trap
You see, the flip side is I need a new Mac Pro
But lack dough, could probably ask my
Girlfriend if she would lend for that
But too proud for a hand or a handout
I'm tired of standin' still, I'm tryna stand out
Be the man now, now that's the plan now
From here on, guess we'll see how it pans out
So you should put your hands up, hey
It ain't perfect but we be doin' okay
I'm livin' proof you can do what you never thought
And best believe it's the truth that you hear me talk
Bro, you should put your hands up, hey
It ain't perfect but we be doin' okay
I'm livin' proof you can do what you never thought
And best believe it's the truth that you hear me talk
I know I walk like I grew up in a war zone
I tread lightly even when I score, won't
Blow my own horn, no, I don't like to draw
No attention to myself, how ironic
My career's based on gettin' on a shelf
Or a blog or a stage, put my whole life
On a page in the hope that some relate to what I say
It sounds so vain when I put it in those terms
When asked about the industry, I ain't got no words
People press, try to ask me how them hoes were
Wonder why I wasn't at the club where my bros were
On the red carpet showin' up with a chauffeur
In VIP where big bottles of Patrón were
In truth, I was at home, chillin' on a 360
Knowin' if I died, them fake dudes wouldn't miss me
Everybody's best friends when they're gettin' tipsy
But when the free drinks run, I see the jet quickly
So you should put your hands up, hey
It ain't perfect but we be doin' okay
I'm livin' proof you can do what you never thought
And best believe it's the truth that you hear me talk
Bro, you should put your hands up, hey
It ain't perfect but we be doin' okay
I'm livin' proof you can do what you never thought
