lyrics

J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait

Swagga in my walk
Swagga in my talk
People hatin’ so much
‘fraid they’ll line me up in chalk
Swagga when I move
Swagga when I groove
Never been afraid to let my hips
sway too

And oh
Let them say what they say
Never worry ‘bout the shade
Cause I’m giving you rays
And oh
Even if they start to draw you
Know you got a home on high
Just beyond the sky

J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait

Jaunty when I breathe
Jaunty when I please
Won’t let anyone
take my jaunty from me
Jaunty in my essence
Jaunty no second guessing
Living in my truth
The energies living proof

And oh
Let them say what they say
Never worry ‘bout the shade
Cause I’m giving you rays
And oh
Even if they start to draw you
Know you got a home on high
Just beyond the sky

J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait
J’étais parfait

When they clock clock clockin’
And you don’t know what to do
Sing this song strong
They won’t know what to do
When the spook spook spooking’
And you don’t know where to go
Let your swag give you power
Be jaunty and aglow

When they clock clock clockin’
And you don’t know what to do
Sing this song strong
They won’t know what to do
When the spook spook spooking’
And you don’t know where to go
Let your swag give you power
Be jaunty and aglow

Singing
No scrubs smiling at me
I don’t want no scrubs
Till I see the Jes
No scrubs smiling at me
I don’t want no scrubs
Till I see the Jes
No scrubs smiling at me
I don’t want no scrubs
Till I see the Jes

J’étais parfait!
J’étais parfait!
J’étais parfait!
J’étais parfait!
Minet!

(Dance break)

Let them eat corn
Hua!
