Intro
N.C.
Love's gonna get you killed
But pride’s gonna be the death of you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me and
Chorus 1
Me, I wasn't taught to share
But care, in another life, I
surely was there
Me, I wasn't taught to share
But care, I care, I care
Verse 1
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new
worldly possessions
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking,
which one would you lessen?
The better part, the human
heart, you love ’em or dissect
'em
Happiness or flashiness, how do
you serve the question?
See, in the perfect world, I
would be perfect, world
I don't trust people enough
beyond they surface, world
I don't love people enough to
put my faith in men
I put my faith in these lyrics
hoping I make amend, I
understand
Verse 2
I ain't perfect, I probably
won't come around
This time I might put you down,
last time I ain't give a fuck
I still feel the same now, my
feelings might go numb
You're dealing with cold thumb,
I’m willing to give up a leg and
arm and show empathy from
Pity parties and functions and
you and yours, a perfect world,
you probably live another 24
I can’t fake humble just 'cause
your ass is insecure
I can’t fake humble just 'cause
your ass is insecure
Chorus 2
Me, I wasn't taught to share
But care, in another life, I
surely was there
Me, I wasn't taught to share
But care, I care, I care
Chorus
Maybe I wasn’t there
Maybe I wasn’t there
Maybe I wasn’t there
Maybe I wasn’t
Verse 3
Now in a perfect world, I
probably won't be insensitive
Cold as December but never
remember what winter did
I wouldn't blame you for
mistakes I made or the bed I
laid
Seems like I point the finger
just to make a point nowadays
Smiles and cold stares, the
temperature goes there
Indigenous disposition, feel
like we belong here
I know the walls, they can
listen, I wish they could talk
back
The hurt becomes repetition, the
love almost lost that
Verse 4
Sick venom in men and women
overcome with pride
A perfect world is never
perfect, only filled with lies
Promises are broken and more
resentment come alive
Race barriers make inferior of
you and I
See, in a perfect world, I'll
choose faith over riches
I'll choose work over bitches,
I'll make schools out of prison
I'll take all the religions and
put 'em all in one service
Just to tell 'em we ain't shit,
but He's been perfect, world
Chorus 3
Me, I wasn't taught to share
But care, in another life, I
surely was there
Me, I wasn't taught to share
But care, I care, I care
Chorus
Maybe I wasn’t there
Maybe I wasn’t there
Maybe I wasn’t there
