If the world was perfect
You’d be with me right now
And all the bad things that happen to the poor people
Would never happen at all

I’ve been going
through some pains
No matter how much I drink and sing
In a corner of my heart
Something dark takes place
And it won’t get erased
Like the cats that wander the streets
I wanna avoid all people
Hip-hop gets hard to listen to
All the news in the media
Makes me feel depressed
is this the human nature
I did sing about the power of optimism
But I’ve always been curious
What is the reason for an unwanted sacrifice?
When did anger start to making people criticize?
The order of life gets decided with the difference of class
Lines are drawn between Gyeongsang and Jeolla, between female and male
How many diamonds in the rough are losing their chance to shine brightly?
I wish someone would answer me
Why won’t the pho restaurant give me cilantro?

If the world was perfect
You’d be with me right now
And all the bad things that happen to the poor people
Would never happen at all

I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
pray for a better world

If the world was perfect
Corporal punishment wouldn’t be discussed among children
But among immature adults
If the world was perfect
Rappers who walk their own path would be successful
Even without Show Me the Money
If this place was perfect
The brave tenants that saved the fly-infested streets
Would be able to have a louder voice toward their landlords
If this place was perfect
My father wouldn’t have given up due to financial reasons
same old story
I’m writing these lyrics in a not so perfect country
You can call me a middle school emo
I made a lot of money
I don’t care if I don’t make it on the top of the charts
If I was perfect
I would’ve held onto her earlier
But I’ve already come too far

If the world was perfect
You’d be with me right now
And all the bad things that happen to the poor people
Would never happen at all

I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
pray for a better world
Oh if the world was
a perfect place

Instead of facing each other
And pointing fingers with hate
We would acknowledge each other’s beauty

pray the world was
a perfect place
I’m singing with a prayer
I’m prayin’
and I know
I’m not the only one
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
pray for a better world
pray pray pray
pray pray pray
