Striving For Perfection by Raekwon Lyrics
[Intro]
Okay (This is it), on three
[Skit: Ghostface Killah & Raekwon]
Yeah, word up, I'm tired of doing this shit (Aight, word)
Let's get it, fuck it (Aight, I'ma set it)
Let's get it, tell me how you feel, man
Yo, son, check the fly shit, son ('Sup cousin, how you doin'?)
Yo, baby, check it, man, I got a new connect son, for real, man
Fuck all this twenty for a brick shit, man (No doubt)
My man got it out of state for fifteen (Yeah)
You know what I'm saying? And, yo—
You know my man's and them is in VA, they politicking to death, so (Right, right)
It's all good, what's up? What you wanna do? (God, God)
We gotta move, God, we gotta move, God, we gotta migrate
Get the fir— Get the fuck outta New York, you know what I'm sayin'?
Bounce, man, start fucking with bigger and better shit, man
So you telling me no more big eights, strictly bricks
No more, no more, no more, man (Man, I'm with you, I've been waiting, man)
No more, God (What's up!)
It's the pot of gold right here, man, this is it
Man, this is glory (So, yo—), you know what I'm sayin'?
The first thing we gotta do, man
Is just know what we gonna do with this cream when we get it, man (Right)
'Cause I'm not tryna just be (Right), sitting on, motherfuckin', 200 thou'
And acting like I'ma just be a— a drug dealer all my life, son (Nah, nah)
I got bigger and better plans, son (No doubt, and we gon' move on, man)
And you know I don't be fuckin' with anybody, man
Son, long as the love and the trust is there, son, we gon' grow, God (Yo, yo, Tony)
We gon' grow like a plant, son
Yo, you coming at me like that, son? (For real, son)
Come on you know me man (You know my style, son)
You know how my heart feels though, God (No doubt)
But, yo, God, for real, this is my last time, God
I'm hanging this shit up man if this shit don't work right here, God (Word up)
You know what I'm sayin'? (I feel the same way, I feel the same way kid) Yo, God, you know what I'm sayin'?
When I got shot at, man, my mom's windows got shot the fuck up, man (Yeah)
Yo, God, my baby's in here, God, see, I gotta take the time, man
And raise my family, man (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what I'm sayin'? Sit around, man, my grandkids, man
But yo, son, it's like this, man
We all livin', man, we here now, man (Word, man), you know what I'm sayin'?
Let's not think like we gon' be stagnating, man
Let's keep moving ahead, man, keep our head up, man
Take care of our families, man
God, word is bond, I'm your eyes that's in back of you, kid
Let's do it then
