Inside your eyes
I'm out of depth, it makes me cry
Your words, your purpose
Insecure, it makes me nervous
You must be some kind of goddess
You're just so perfect you're flawless
(Flawless)
Why are you with me?
I wish I knew your mind
I'm just not good enough for you
You're just too good for me
What is it you see?
It makes no sense at all
I'm just so ordinary
That makes you ordinary too
That makes you ordinary too
My time, I'd have it over
I would be the perfect lover
Your face is cut like crystal
My fate's a loaded pistol
You must be some kind of goddess
You're just so perfect you're flawless
(Flawless)
Why are you with me?
I wish I knew your mind
I'm just not good enough for you
You're just too good for me

That makes you ordinary too
(Flawless)
I wish I knew your mind
I'm just not good enough for you
You're just too good for me
What is it you see?
It makes no sense at all
I'm just so ordinary
That makes you ordinary too
If I could see myself on screen
Am I the fool of the piece?
(Flawless)
Why are you with me?
I wish I knew your mind
I'm just not good enough for you
You're just too good for me
What is it you see?

One time, yo
Yo, you know what?
I might not always say the right thing
But I say what the fuck I feel
On the real
What the deal
Knawmean?
World's greatest five-footer back up in yo shit
Check it
Let me ask you
[VERSE 1]
Who these cats lookin punanny-ish?
For those who don't understand: that's some vagina shit
I think I'm lost, yo, tell me what you're dealin with?
Niggas' rhymes be watered down like porn star clitoris
It's so ridiculous, you're soundin hideous
Talkin tough, but be dressin on some wussy shit
Tight see-through shirt, on some hard nipple shit
Fake Versace shades while all up in the club and shit
Fake Rolex, it'll change the color of your arm and shit
Sports bras, halter tops, what the fuck is this?
Dudes be brought up just to sell some records? SHIT
Then wanna be voice of the streets, you see this bullshit?
Wait - if you gon' half-step in hip-hop, you need to stop
This here remains in the street, play puss, you're gettin fucked
Go 'head, play yourself with them ho-like hooks
Sing ballads if it's all about the Maxwell look
Mack make-up with a pair of [brand name] thinkin you're cute
Fubu suit with Steve Madden boots make me wanna puke
Phat Farm shorts with a garder belt, lookin like a whore
Or a purple bandana cause it matches your shaw?
Now tell me, what you rhymin for?
This shit is all about flows, fuck a fashion show
Hip-Hop 101, Professor Diggy, yo
And if you want it laid back, call Kenny Lattimore
No disrespect to these men, cause I like R&B;
But right here in my class we gonnna emcee
It's all about the zhigge-zhigge, yeah, the scratch 'n cut
Graffiti art, jammin in the park, holdin your nuts
Muthafuckas, I am hip-hop, I walk hip-hop, I talk hip-hop
I need hip-hop, I lust hip-hop, I love hip-hop
B-Boy round the clock, doin it non-stop
Flawless
Diggy gon' hit you with the rawness
Pass me the mic and I'ma scorch it
And when mi done with it, mi just toss it
But never force it
My shit is flawless
Mutty Ranks hit you with the rawness
Pass me the mic and I'ma scorch it
And when mi done with it, mi just toss it
But never force it
[VERSE 2]
Peep the Groove Attack ensemble, we about to fly high
Fuck majors, we independent like the 4th of July (Why?)
I guess we didn't really share the same vision
But it was their decision
Them fuckers just wouldn't listen
But now look who's bitchin
While Phifey cuts with precision
It's my ass they're kissin
Don't worry 'bout what I'm shippin
As for Jive, I know they hate on how I blow up the spot
How quickly they forget what got they ass to the top
What they figure, I bust my ass to feed they dirty-ass kids?
Get the fuck out of here, fuck am I, Britney Spears?
These cats'll turn you against your brethren if you let em, and how
It's the reason me and my former partner don't talk now
Communication is the key, capital word be unity
These folks will guide you to your grave, then come and read the eulogy
Independent like Philly, majors can't do shit for me but suck mi toe
Go find a MC with some half-assed flow
But I understand these styles, they just quickly endin now
Forever wantin to play games, but guess what, I'm not a child
For the new breed of MC's: learn to own your shit, gee
Stay black, keep it real, purchase at [Name]
Fuck a waiting to exhale, Malik is at once released
While all you so-called CEO's and A&R;'s get impeached
Say Fudge - you shoulda never let me off the damn leash
Ha-ha
Arrrf!
Now break it down now
I am hip-hop, I sleep hip-hop, I want hip-hop
I love hip-hop, I lust hip-hop, I need hip-hop
B-Boy round the clock, doin it non-stop
And I'm
Flawless
Verse 1
There's nothing setting the mood,
But it feels like there's candlelight
Surrounding you.
And I don't know where you've been
All my life, but this feels so wrong
That it feels right.
And I close my eyes, shut them tight,
Throw myself at you, but you don't make a move.
It's like I don't have anything to prove.
CHORUS
And you, to me
Are flawless
From the outside, all the way into the in between.
The truth is, I'm left lingering
On this
And I'm breaking, yeah I'm breaking at the seams.
And I'm not subtle like I used to be.
Verse 2
All this talk about stars,
They say they all die.
But when I'm blinded by the ones in your eyes,
I feel so alive.
And I don't know what's in the cards,
And I didn't know pain
Till you looked my way,
There's no winning at this game.
So we squared off and started the fight,
But it turns out the rules don't apply.
I'll lose everytime, everytime.
CHORUS
The others fell cause there was no seatbelt,
But I'll hold tight for my life cause I like this ride,
Yeah I like this ride.
BRIDGE
You're like the ride that's always dropped my stomach,
And it's something from I'd usually go runnin.
But one glance tucked me in for good,
And you moved me like nobody could.
The universe is setting the mood,
And it feels like
There's candlelight
Surrounding us.
So lean on in for the kill,
You're blowing my mind.
And it's kind of like
I'm dressing up to die.
[Hollow]
As we wanna be
High side, stay flawless
As we wanna be
Playa click, stay flawless
As we wanna be
Hollow, stay flawless
But now, what yall playas on highside like to
do man on the real...
I like to
Floss a lot hit the cock a lot and play with triggers
Parlay with my playa click thug niggaz
Sip the liquor and roll the hip up in a vega leaf
And smile at bitches with daimonds in my gold teeth
Crease the Guess I put the dank smoke in my chest
Polo shirt and a Eddie Bauer fishing vest
Never stress it's all nilly
If funds is running low I send some pounds out to Philly
To get my scrilly
Ya'll know the really
It truly cost to floss
So I'm wanted by the haters so I pack a nina ross
And ball and chose to roll
I rise on them hundreds
Supposed to keep a 45 in my Abercrombie french coat
Spit the flows to the peeps and make my pockets swell
My records sell and my '69 fishtails
Through the streets of killa cali sac valley
Where we ballin
Make a million
Cause we flawless
[Hook]
We just as flawless as we wanna be
Beside the flamy drops
Floss the flashy rocks on candy with the knocks
So badly you wanna stop
Were fastly way to the top
Mad at us when we squab
Brand new through the blocks
[Mic-C]
It's playa Dame and Hollow
Sidin with that nigga Mic
Parlays and stripes
got me racing through the lights
High side for life
With hundred spokes under the bomb leaf
Hoes on me cause I reside under the palm trees
What I mean is doggy style on the carpet
With a star bitch
Freak me from morning till the dark shit
Get rich is probly always been a nigga dream
Find a team bout their green and now I'm on the scene
Staying clean like gold and diamonds on my left wrist
Lexus 400 running through they sections
Stressin cause highland niggas making true scratch
Whos that Mic in the maxima with j-mac
Fagbag because he'll never like to do much
Hatin studs and actin tough'll make you get touched
Cause niggas can't see me with bifocals
Cause my vocals
Be hittin from nationwide to locals
[Hook]
[Hollow]
Light skin super baz climbin the knife ends
Slidin on them sexy finnesse and diamonds
Get our grants fool when niggas can't stand to
See us in brand new maximas and land cru's
Up the block high side local with the icy rocks
Why we hot we slide the drops cold body tops
Flamy knocks bitches wavin till the candy stop
Pop the Remy top and cruise with my danny cocked
Got it locked me and Dame and niggas we call the shots
Hoes'll stop when ballas floss through the spots
We keep it hot playa
From coolin down the himalayas
Mic-C pack the sprayas
Can you niggas count the paper
I split the vega
Be on a mission for a million
Without dealin or killin innocent civilians
In the game chillin
With the title Mr. Flawless
No errors at all bitch
Keep high sidin ballas
[Hook]
As we wanna be
High side
Remain flawless
You know
Through all the hatin
She planned ahead for a year.
He said let's play it by ear.
She didn't want him to run.
He didn't want her to fear.
Nobody said it'd be easy.
They knew it was rough but tough luck.
I fell in love today.
There aren't many words that you can say,
That could ever get my mind to change.
She's in love for me.
She's in love with me.
You're a doll, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
The only flaw, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
So, she put his heart in a bag.
He wouldn't ask for it back.
He didn't want her to cry.
She didn't want to be sad.
She said you'd better not leave me.
This shit'll be fucked for days, and weeks, and months, but...
I fell in love today.
There aren't many words that you can say,
That could ever get my mind to change.
She's in love for me.
She's in love with me.
You're a doll, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
The only flaw, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
Add it all up, I can find it.
The problem with love, is i'm blinded by...
It rattles my lungs, but my mind is
Tangled between your little thoughts.
Your thoughts.
Your thoughts.
Your thought.
You're a doll, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
The only flaw, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
Wait for love.
I won't wait for love.
Wait for love.
I won't wait for love.
Your skin is so thin
That i can see right through
And you don't think i can
Cause my heart is made of stone
And i'm kicking just for hurt
And you don't like that hurt
It's more than i can stand
Chorus you just watch the band and you think that you can
Tell me how it is
I will not be there when the curtain comes down
And you think that you're not fooled
Like everybody else
And i can see the world
Destruction is a bore
And i'm mad about the business
And i'm mad about my projects
It's taking me apart
Chorus
[Verse 1:]
I'm not conceited, I'm just telling the truth
You need a woman in your life that's gon' be equal to you
You need a woman in your life that hold it down for you
Just like you got your own hustle, yeah, I'm hustling, too
Just let me school you
Introduce you to new things that you ain't used to
I'm not them chicks you used to have up in your stable
Your entourage ain't complete without me, boo
And that's real, too
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm flawless
I'll be rocking just 'laxin up in the cutlass
Bustin white cell chicks wish they could touch this
Fellas dishin out the Louis cause they love this
Cause they want this
'Cause I'm flawless
I'll be rocking just up in the cutlass
Bustin white cell chicks wish they could touch this
Fellas dishin out the Louis cause they love this
Cause they want this
[Verse 2:]
You aint never seen a woman a like me
I know you be the captain but i be the chief
You lookin at a diamond dat will make your life complete
If you let me I could be the chick that answers your team
Let me floss you
Diamond bezzles on your Cartier watch boo
My Jimmy Chu's to match your Gucci shades too
Layin on the yacht just because we want to
Picture that boo
[Chorus x2]
[Bridge:]
Look clean if you gon step to me
Dont think one drink gon get to me
(Cause i'm flawless)
No need to be so cheap
You need me to be complete
