Pick apart another day

Sunlight beamin' in my face

Close the blinds and find the shade

Tell the sun to go away

I’ll control what I can (Ooh)

It's a means to an end (Ooh)

Paint another masterpiece, take one step back and then critique

Wet to dry, the colors weak

So, I don’t have the right to speak

Create then take it back (Ooh)

Settle metal and perfect (Hoo)

Mx. Perfectionist (Mx. Perfectionist)

I need the best and nothin' less (Nothin' less, less)

I’m as flawless as it gets (As it gets, as it gets)

Yuh, I’m convinced I’m heaven-sent (Heaven-sent)

Mx. Perfectionist, must be better than

'Cause I’m not enough, enough for myself

I’m afraid I’ll be yearnin' for a crown

Until I’m not around down, six feet in the ground

Dissatisfied and unfulfilled (And unfulfilled)

I’m terrified that nothing will ever suffice

So, why do I even try?

I’m the imposter’s hostage, he lives in my conscience

He tried to take away my confidence

He told me he is me and I am him (I am him)

I turned his pressure into diamonds (Diamonds)

Destiny, what does she hold?

Victory, trophies, and gold

Built this shit all on my own

Watch me sit up on my throne

Mx. Perfectionist (Mx. Perfectionist)

I need the best and nothin' less (Nothin' less, less)

I’m as flawless as it gets (As it gets, as it gets)

Yuh, I’m convinced I’m heaven-sent (Heaven-sent)

Mx. Perfectionist, must be better than

'Cause I’m not enough, enough for myself

I’m afraid I’ll be yearnin' for a crown

Until I’m not around down, six feet in the ground

Comparative narratives make me arrogant

It’s either I’m the best or an embarrassment

It ain’t that deep but my nervous system swears it is

I must defeat these comparisons, it’s imperative

(Perfect or worthless, it's perfect or worthless) It must be perfect or it’s worthless (Ooh-ooh, ah)

(Perfect or worthless, it's perfect or worthless) It must be, it must be

(Perfect or worthless, it's perfect or worthless) It must be perfect or it’s worthless (Oh, ah)

It must be, it must (Ah)
