DOWNLOAD ALBUM AT WWW.BOONAA.COM - For bookings or other inquires contact boonaamohammed(at)gmail.com or www.boonaa.com Pursuit of Perfection In my pursuit of perfection, I have dropped the fat that has been holding me down, And as you can tell I am pretty brittle guy, so that stuff went down without a sound, The bulk of pounds seeping from my insecurities Covering up my sorrow with long sleeves and baggy jeans, But today, I stand proud in front of you, weighing a whole 122 LBS, Of stressed and worked out flesh, I've always been pretty thin, all my kin are scrawny Before 12, I'd broken almost every single bone in my body I love to swim, but haven't hit the pools since junior high school Because kids can be rude, ruin your day and your mood, Plus you know what they say about East African dudes I've heard every single joke about world vision, or my family not having food, But those fools, how do they know, that stuff could have been true, But it wasn't, I'm just a skinny guy, what do you really want me to do Bulk up like those dudes in the muscle mags do, I tried doing protein shakes but that stuff tastes like chunky poo And no point lifting weights, 10's about all I can do Plus Cardio makes me tired and steroids just aint cool I enjoy my way, sleeping in on Fridays Everybody's gone crazy trying to lose weight, hey throw some my way With all your cool machines, and burn fat quick schemes, What about people like me who only get stretch marks in our dreams, No reality TV ...
