.I – Imperfect Me
Posted by Bukie on March 6, 2011 in M.I | 83 Comments



Intro
Hey…..alright
What’s up with this perfection anyway
Who really is perfect?
Show me one person that is perfect
Maybe M.I

Verse 1
Some people have no drama
Speaking with plenty grammar
So eloquent no stammer
Dancing like MC Hammer
Some have no imperfection
They never need correction
Never ask for direction
They’re number one selection
Some know the truth like Jesus
They’re rounding up your feces
Never producing feces
They sweet like Reese’s pieces
Some always spring into action
Never have wrong reaction
They are always excelling
They are immune to failing
We have plenty fracas
Among the sheep, I am black cos
Mr procrastination, I fall to much temptation
I’m never seeing cheddah
Know when I should know better
Never seem to put a good rational plan together
My heart is always healthy
Awaiting time for working
What is the matter, I am scattered brained and safe certain
But still I call my savior
With all of this behavior
Cos love persisted over each characteristic
Let me be

Chorus (2x)
Love lets me to be (Love lets me be…..beeeeee)
Imperfect me…meeeeeee

Verse 2
Some never stole no money
Admired playboy bunny
The sky is always sunny
Just don’t expect that from me
Some never hurt no person
Their mouth is never cursing
They heal, they hurt and thirsting
Their hands are always nursing
Some never get frustrated
Have never masturbated
Have never interrogated
If really God created
Some doing great with no mistake their faith is never doubting
Some have no time for shouting
Their lips are never pouting
I hate to burst your bubble
Me I have plenty trouble
My life is ruined in rubble
Too many things to juggle
I got eviction letters
There’s money owed to debtors
Ignored my intuition
Cannot afford tuition
I’ve given God conditions
I’ve slandered my religion
I blinked and lost my vision
I thrive on superstition
But still I call the savior
With all of my behavior
Love has persisted over each characteristic
Let me be

Chorus (2x)
Love lets me be (Love lets me to be…..beeeeee)
Imperfect me…meeeeeee

Verse 3
Yea,
There’s so much nonsense
A faulty conscience
I make mistake dawg
Not doing great dawg
I’m pushing further in
The guilt I am harboring
Gotten my heart broken
There’s hurt from words I’ve spoken
There’s people that I’ve cheated
Some sins they stay repeated
I’ve had discussions heated
Where truth has been receded
My thoughts they get perverted
Reality inverted
The truth that I’m annoyed with
I’ve always just avoided
Some times I am very stubborn
Allow my pride to govern
There’s so much dirt I have covered
It’s dark inside my cupboard
It’s got me bothered I agree, yes
I see, I am only human
And it’s bad consuming
Every good is blooming
My actions each are ruining’
I am disaster walking’
Can’t hear the master talking
But still I hear the savior
In all of my behavior
Cos love remained over every single shame
Let me be

Be be be be be
I am working on me
Love so good, love so bad, and the ugly
How I know how I know God loves me
Love so good, love so bad, and the ugly
Ugly me

He’s working on me
Imperfect me
Love let me be
He’s working on me
Imperfect me

Love lets me be
Imperfect me (imperfect meeee)
Imperfect me

Outro
That’s just me
I am not perfect
But you know, who’s perfect. M.I abaga can b compared wit any american rapper

Let’s increase the tempo,

Chorus:

Girl you got a picture perfect frame, with modern curves,
Jealous bitch just playing games,
They’re just angry birds,
So where are we going who’s place,
Baby mine or yours,
Now while we ride just seat back and let me rhyme a verse,
They hit the high notes,
I hit the right notes,
They’re on the ground like most,
Now watch how its goes,
I don’t need to brag,
But sometimes mummy I boast,
I eat rappers and most of these niggas are toast,
You don’t know the good loving till you taste mine,
I just wanna be the reason why your face smile,
See girl to tell you, see your man is a waste now.,
No time to waste baby I can take his place now..,
Hmm yeah, just keep it on the low though,
You’re gonna keep coming back
Just remember I say you
And if this love is a crime,
They should call the popo,
And if that’s means doing time,
You’re the jail am going to
Low key,
Know they wanna know,
But there’s no me,
Girl I really love the way you love me,
They want me to let you go,
But I no go gree whoo weee
Low key low key
Omoge fa wo me ka lo
Low key low key
Baby mi sun mo bi ka lo

And First Time by Bruno Mars

[Intro: x2]
Don't it feel good babe
Don't it feel good baaby
Cause, it's so brand new babe
It's so brand new baaby.

[Verse 1:]
And now now here we are (here we are)
In this big old empty room
Staring at each other, who's gonna make the first move?
Been doing our thing for a minute
And now both our hearts are in it
The only place to go, is all the way (ah, whoo)

[Break:]
Is that alright?
Is that okay?
Girl, No need to be nervous
Cause, I, got, you, all, night
Don't you worry bout a thing (no no no)

[Chorus:]
Just go with it, go with it, go with it (and I will go real)
Slow with it, slow with it
It's our first time
Go with it, go with it, go with it (and I will go real)
Slow with it, slow with it
It's our first time

[Verse 2:]
Clothes are not required, for what we got planned
Ooo girl you're my desire, your wish is my command
Treat you like a princess, oooh girl you're so delicious
Like ice cream on a sunny day, gonna eat you before you melt away (babe)

[Break:]
Is that alright?
Is that okay?
Girl, No need to be nervous (no no no, no oooh)
Cause, I (I've), got (got), you (you), all, night
Don't you worry bout a thing (no no no)

[Chorus]

Two Good songs to compare is If I were your man by Bruno Mars

Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you all that it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
And it all just sound like uh, uh, uh

Hmmm too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing, but she's dancing with another man.

My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like uh, uh, uh, uh

Too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand
Should have gave all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing, but she's dancing with another man.

Although it hurts I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers, I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours when he has the chance
Take you to every party cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done when I was your man!
Do all the things I should have done when I was your man!

And If you were mine by Byrmo

Verse 1
So many times I ask myself the question why
Why e be say when you smile it makes me wonder why
O n se mi se mi bi ko bami lo
I know its hard to walk away from what you know
Huh baby
If you ask me I?ll deny
But the truth girl its in my eyes
I just dey think about your smile
I no fit shout
I?m loving you, you loving him

Chorus
If you were mine
Baby if you were mine
Aso to fine lo ma wo
Ile to fine lo ma gbe
If you were mine

Verse 2
So many times I ask myself the question why
The way I dey feel it makes me touch the sky
Ma toju toju e
Ba mi lo
From the madness and the pain I?d set you free
Huh baby
If you ask me I?ll deny
But the truth girl its in my eyes
I just dey think about your smile
I no fit shout
I?m loving you, you loving him

Chorus
If you were mine
Baby if you were mine
Aso to fine lo ma wo
Ile to fine lo ma gbe
If you were mine

Verse 3
I don?t wanna live without you baby
And I wanna be your man while you acting shady
Girl Ill go anywhere that you want
Baby tell me where you want me to
Huh baby
Yehhhhh, yeh yeh

Chorus
If you were mine
Baby if you were mine
Aso to fine lo ma wo
Ile to fine lo ma gbe
If you were mine

If you were mine
Baby if you were mine
Aso to fine lo ma wo
Ile to fine lo ma gbe
If you were mine
If you were mine baby
If you were mine / 3ce
If you were mine baby
If you were mine /3ce
If you were mine
If you were mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mine
If you were mine

These songs are similar and are in the same genre of music(Kinda)

Comparison seems to be the most popular thread in the arts. Why not just enjoy the art and in along? You cant compare Nigerian artists with American. Those are highly organized targeting a global audience. We try fighting for the local share of the market
Re: Lyrics of Nigerian and Foreign Songs Compared by Boll2010: 7:53am On Aug 01, 2013
uche16: Why do Nigerians get so defensive and angry when they are compared to individuals from other country.our music Is good when you listen to ASA,nneka.its wack when you listen to Davido,wizkid plus a lot of Nigerians love dumbed down music, few Nigerians would ever listen to Kendrick Lamar or jcole,when they want to listen to foreign based music,they still go for the same dumbed down party music. Loving good music is an acquired taste. Music isn't about geographical borders,its about individuality.its about the guy/gal belting out the tunes,so a broad comparison between countries is unfair,compare greats on both sides and do likewise to the wacks
damn lamar n jcole love dem a lot gud lyricust jcole tels me story dt ar life related,lamar maks u knw lyf aint worth it#forbidden fruits was gud combinatn frm dudes

THUMB UP FOR U BRO. U ARE FAR FROM THE COWISH CROWD. HOW CAN U BE COMPARING NIGERIAN SINGERS WITH THE EVER SUPERIOR AMERICAN'S? U ARE ALL IMBECILES AND RETARDED HUMANS. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, IF NOT FOR US MUSICIANS THE WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN LIVING IN HOLLOW DESERT WITHOUT MUSIC. DON'T U KNOW AMERICA IS THE EMPIRE OF THE UNIVERSE? AMERICAN SINGERS HAVE THE TENDENCY AND ABILITY TO INSPIRE U TO GREATNESS. FROM HENCEFORTH U ALL SHALL NOT COMPARE ELEPHANTS, LIONS TO CATS AND MOUSES AGAIN! I HATE NIGERIANS DULL BRAINS. VERY RETARDED HUMANS!
