[Chorus: Aida Ade & Aye Verb]
Sometimes we're insecure
We're fragile sometimes
We laugh at each other to make ourselves feel better
Sometimes we lie
Sometimes we say things that we really don't mean
But in the moment, it seemed like the thing to do (Some—)
We're all flawed, beautiful people
We're all flawed, beautiful creatures (Yeah)
We're all (Yeah) flawed (Yeah), beautiful people
We're all flawed (Yeah), beautiful (Yeah) creatures
[Verse: Aye Verb]
Let me tell you, I ain't perfect
These other rappers lie to you in verses
I show the fans my heart, not the surface
My whole life a circus
New niggas come around, I whisper searchin'
Ride along with no music for soul searchin'
Yeah, I believe in God, and the Devil, and his serpents
I be runnin' to my strap
I ain't runnin' to no churches
Offerin' plates, come around, pass it to the next person
You said "come as you are" and I ain't got a God, I'm hurtin'
And I know I got a good girl and she a good person, but I never saw a man love my momma so I ain't learn shit
I ain't learn how
Soon as love come around, I get so nervous
She slurp me then I'm skrtin'
Crushin' on me is worthless, yo
I do it all for the streets
Down to my last, I hit the club and pop some bottles, then starve for the week
Look at my face and see yourself
I ain't hardly unique
I'm human walkin' ground
I just turn to God on the beat
Ask some niggas I had smoke with, "who callin' me weak?"
Whether who won, they still called me a cheap, peep
Trapped in a city where ain't nobody here gon' help you
Ride with yo' hammer, if not the [?] here gon' nail you
Ain't nobody shell-proof
No chain in command, not on this land
If you goin' through it I look up to you, I am your fan
Damn, yo
If you goin' through it I understand, I am your fan
[Chorus: Aida Ade]
Sometimes we're insecure
We're fragile sometimes
We laugh at each other to make ourselves feel better
Sometimes we lie
Sometimes we say things that we really don't mean
But in the moment, it seemed like the thing to do (some—)
We're all flawed, beautiful people
We're all flawed, beautiful creatures (yeah)
We're all flawed, beautiful people
We're all flawed, beautiful creatures (yeah)
