angela cameron - perfect lyrics

[intro]
i was up for i don’t know how long
before i turned and turned off my alarm
tryna keep my head still, at calm
all the while it was playing this song…

[violin: amanda zeng]

[verse 1]
do you care that i left?
do you think i wasn’t serious?
do you think i’m a mess?
did you think of me when i was gone?
how’d you feel if i returned?
do you think i’m all for worse?
was this better unrehe-rs-d?
is this tape even worth it?
even if it’s perfect
i haven’t slept enough
cause my nights don’t deserve it
always starting so rough
coming home, drop my stuff
say a word to my family and call it enough
go to bed, get back up
going out, catch the bus
i’m late, gotta run
slipping on the sidewalk

[verse 2]
it’s icy out
mid february
sunset five o clock
check the evening news
another nigga shot
(another cop got charges dropped…)
(another nigga got locked up…)
(how we gon’ get out?)
(happy birthday, trayvon…)

[verse 3: outro]
i never had to deal with death like that
except when i was nine and my grandma died and we all wept
but my family was okay cause we knew what to expect
at least a cracker didn’t k!ll her on her doorstep
at least we were all there for her when she left
it was a perfect death, her last breath we all heard at once, together, at last

was it roberta flack who wrote that one song about death or was it cardi b and offset
were you there when the drums went blap and then the world went black
and everything went down and everything fell back
i fell into depression many years ago and then i got on medication many years ago
and somehow everything worked out in the end, somehow i’m still here before y’all
