Perfectionist by Russ
Lyrics & Translation
English
I'm a recovering perfectionist, a self-destructive specialist
My 32nd session with my therapist is evidence
That I can't see I've made it, I'm like Dee Brown, wow
I gotta couple chapters, I'm ashamed to read out loud
I'm workin' on it, tho I'm tryna be more patient with myself
I robbed myself of so much joy, I'm making payments to myself
I'm still in debt tho
Need to take my coat off, settle in, ignore the dress code
I know that the hardest step is walking past my threshold
I'm in my Depeche Mode
Tryna just enjoy the silence, it's so hard to let go
Once I do I'm free
I know it's me vs me
I know it's not your job to reaffirm what I believe
I'm working on becoming the person I clearly need
So I don't look for what I lack in someone else, I see
That I'm still in the in-between
But finally I voluntarily been takin' care of me
Was rarely there for me, my inner child's scared of me
I punished him unfairly
We need more solidarity
I don't care bout the people who base skills off popularity
When I can close my eyes and see myself then I'll have clarity
I love the women who are in my life, specially Sara Lee
This industry's primarily fake, you can deny it
But you silent publicly but showin' love to me in private
All my wounds have told a story
All the laughs and money hide 'em
It's a shame the only language people speak sometimes is violence
But I don't got pity for people that play themselves
The bed they says uncomfortable's the same bed that they made themselves
I'm showin' love they hate themselves
You cannot give them anything they haven't already gave themselves
You cannot save somebody if they simply don't wanna save themselves
I shoulda known what time it was
The stab in the back don't hurt it's when you turn and see who's knife it was
I'm just tryna find the love
Looking everywhere but within
A white rapper is a fraction of the air that I'm in
An outsider from the jump, it took a minute to hit me
Why would I try to fit in with an industry that don't fit me
This is simply testimonial
Slowly pull back the layers
And get down to who I am because my fear is a container of my greatness, I hate this
Wait this is just a test of patience
The pain from all my mistakes is just something I need more grace with
My bruises became my muses
My pain had multiple uses
Went from fuck y'all to forget y'all
From middle fingers to deuces

Perfectionist (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Soy un perfeccionista en recuperación, un especialista autodestructivo
Mi sesión número 32 con mi terapeuta es evidencia
De que no puedo ver que lo he logrado, soy como Dee Brown, wow
Tengo un par de capítulos, me avergüenza leer en voz alta
Estoy trabajando en ello, aunque intento ser más paciente conmigo mismo
Me robé tanta alegría, me estoy haciendo pagos a mí mismo
Todavía estoy en deuda, sin embargo
Necesito quitarme el abrigo, acomodarme, ignorar el código de vestimenta
Sé que el paso más difícil es cruzar mi umbral
Estoy en mi Depeche Mode
Intentando simplemente disfrutar el silencio, es tan difícil soltar
Una vez que lo hago, soy libre
Sé que soy yo contra mí
Sé que no es tu trabajo reafirmar lo que creo
Estoy trabajando en convertirme en la persona que claramente necesito
Para no buscar lo que me falta en otra persona, veo
Que todavía estoy en el intermedio
Pero finalmente, voluntariamente me he estado cuidando
Rara vez estuve ahí para mí, mi niño interior me tiene miedo
Lo castigué injustamente
Necesitamos más solidaridad
No me importa la gente que basa las habilidades en la popularidad
Cuando pueda cerrar los ojos y verme a mí mismo, entonces tendré claridad
Amo a las mujeres que están en mi vida, especialmente Sara Lee
Esta industria es principalmente falsa, puedes negarlo
Pero te callas públicamente pero me muestras amor en privado
Todas mis heridas han contado una historia
Todas las risas y el dinero las esconden
Es una pena que el único lenguaje que la gente habla a veces sea la violencia
Pero no tengo piedad por la gente que se juega a sí misma
La cama que dicen incómoda es la misma cama que ellos mismos hicieron
Estoy mostrando amor, ellos se odian a sí mismos
No puedes darles nada que no se hayan dado ya a sí mismos
No puedes salvar a alguien si simplemente no quieren salvarse a sí mismos
Debí haber sabido qué hora era
La puñalada por la espalda no duele, es cuando te giras y ves de quién era el cuchillo
Solo estoy tratando de encontrar el amor
Buscando en todas partes menos dentro
Un rapero blanco es una fracción del aire en el que estoy
Un forastero desde el principio, me tomó un minuto darme cuenta
¿Por qué intentaría encajar en una industria que no me encaja?
Esto es simplemente testimonial
Lentamente quita las capas
Y llega a quien soy porque mi miedo es un contenedor de mi grandeza, odio esto
Espera, esto es solo una prueba de paciencia
El dolor de todos mis errores es algo con lo que necesito más gracia
Mis moretones se convirtieron en mis musas
Mi dolor tuvo múltiples usos
Pasé de "que se jodan" a "olvídense de ustedes"
De dedos medios a "deuces"
