[00:06.75]So after this song
[00:08.72]You gon' love me for my honesty
[00:11.53]Or you gon' hate me for being me
[00:15.00]Yeah, I'm sayin'
[00:17.92]One of the two is gonna happen
[00:20.35]With all that I can be
[00:23.80]Is what I am and who I am
[00:27.40]Chasing women when I should be recording
[00:30.46]Invite a couple then I invite some more
[00:33.84]Next thing you know it's 3 in the morning
[00:36.32]And I've only done one song
[00:40.12]20k on champagne in the club
[00:43.08]Then 20k more just because
[00:46.32]That's 40k in 3 hours
[00:48.42]But everybody watching my section
[00:51.90]So it's alright babe,
[00:56.74]I know it may sound silly to you
[00:59.00]Truthfully it's silly to me too
[01:01.94]But that's what makes this song so true
[01:05.35]I'm a little irresponsible most of the time
[01:08.46]I'm a man of my word but only when I ain't lying
[01:11.90]I say I'm not a hater but I hate to see you shine
[01:14.96]Especially if your shine is outshining mine
[01:18.24]I wanna be faithful but I keep running in the dimes
[01:21.24]And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right
[01:24.43]The image I portray making people judge a book
[01:27.62]But if they really took the time to look
[01:30.10]Then they will see the cracks in mr. perfect
[01:35.47]Yeah
[01:36.72]They will see the cracks in mr. perfect
[01:41.60]Yeah yeah
[01:42.65]So they will see the cracks in mr. perfect
[01:47.88]Yeah
[01:48.60]They will see the cracks in mr. perfect
[01:54.34]Yeah
[01:56.00]I ain't got a condom here
[01:59.06]Too lazy to run to the store
[02:01.97]But you just met her 3 hours ago
[02:04.63]Says the angel on my shoulder
[02:08.26]See but the devil he could talk real loud
[02:11.80]And on my decision I'm not proud
[02:14.66]But by the grace of God I'm here right now
[02:17.16]Help being good and older
[02:20.31]So it's alright
[02:23.56]I know it may sound reckless to you
[02:27.10]Truthfully it's reckless to me too
[02:30.21]But that's what makes this song so true
[02:33.46]I'm a little irresponsible most of the time
[02:37.02]I'm a man of my word but only when I ain't lying
[02:40.30]I say I'm not a hater but I hate to see you shine
[02:43.46]Especially if your shine is outshining mine
[02:46.55]I wanna be thankful but I keep running into dimes
[02:49.67]And they make it so easy so it's hard to do right
[02:52.87]The image I portray making people judge a book
[02:56.02]But if they really took the time to look
[02:58.31]Then they will see the cracks in mr. perfect
[03:03.78]Yeah
[03:04.52]They will see the cracks in mr. perfect
[03:09.92]Yeah yeah
[03:11.67]Oh I do a lot of stupid shit
[03:16.27]Hoping I never have to pay for rent
[03:20.29]It's like I become rather an idiot
[03:22.57]Every extra million I get
[03:26.43]I thank God for my family and my crew
[03:28.85]'Cause I can be a lot to put up with
[03:32.88]Much love to my people that don't mind
[03:35.57]The cracks in Mr. Perfect
[04:02.34]So they will see the cracks in mr. perfect
[04:06.70]Yeah
[04:07.69]You can see the cracks in mr. perfect
[04:13.43]Yeah yeah
[04:14.31]You can see the cracks in mr. perfect
[04:19.68]Yeah
[04:20.54]Said you can see the cracks in mr. perfect
[04:25.71]Yeah
[04:29.92]And in the end they all learned a valuable lesson
[04:34.73]Perfection is just glorified opinion
[04:39.20]When in the grand scheming things
[04:41.70]it's our imperfections
[04:43.69]That truly make us perfect
[04:47.96]So do yourself a favor
[04:50.15]Find the beauty in your cracks
