Perfect
Logic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I started from the bottom, now my neighborhood is gated
They say, "Drink to your accomplishments," so every night I'm faded
Feel like every other day, me and somebody new related
You're my sister, cousin, brother from the other side? (The other side)
I don't know who told you that (my mama)
Well, she fucking lied
Ayy, wake up, wake up, get your cake up
All the streets with all these beats
I body beats, I'm not discreet (per-per-perfect)
This is how I feel on the inside
All you non-talent rappin' motherfuckers better run and hide
You worthless, you have no purpose, fuckin' imposter
You gots to get it through your head
You won't ever get no handout
Fuckin' with your ass, it'd be like throwing a band out (per-per-perfect)
My flow increased, my dough increased
You know I leave 'em all deceased
I am a fucking beast, I'm from the East
I keep the peace, don't need a piece
But I keep a piece, got it capiche?
That boy gon' eat, this is a feast
Once I release, I'm smokin' trees
I bought my shit, I don't need no lease
So fuck you up like Master P (perfect)
This shit right here a masterpiece, I'm comin' in hot like the police
Shooting my shot like the police
All on the block like the policemen, who gon' (stop, stop)
The police from leaving bodies in the motherfuckin streets man? (Fire, per-per-perfect)
Logic cites Nujabes, MF Doom, RZA, and Kanye West as key inspiration behind his production style
The lyrics of Logic's "Perfect" song featuring Juicy J can be read as a power anthem. Logic boasts about his success, his rise from the bottom to the top, and his unapologetic attitude about his accomplishments, and how he needs to drink every night to feel alive. He has his guard up, always on the lookout for those trying to leech off of him due to his newfound success. The lyrics are full of hard-hitting braggadocio and straightforward lines that display Logic's skill on the mic. The chorus of the song repeats the word "perfect" repeatedly to punctuate the track's overall message of dominance and confidence.
In the second verse, Juicy J builds up on the theme of the first verse with his own signature confidence in his rapping style. He spits out lines about his success and his dominance. He describes his own rise to the top and his ability to keep the peace without needing a piece. Juicy J's verses complement Logic's style, making it a perfect song that boosts the morale of any listener.
Overall, "Perfect" is a self-affirmation anthem that encourages the listener to be confident in themselves and their abilities, and to relentlessly strive for their goals despite any opposition.
