JJ Cale meets Kenny Burrell (I wish) with a song re what can actually be perfect in the imperfect world as per Plato

Lyrics: Must be Perfect (Plato)
I’m looking for something 
It has to be the perfect kind
I’m looking for something 
So far it is just in my mind

Chorus
It needs to be perfect
With no sign of a flaw
It needs to be perfect
All rejects will be shown the door

I know I won’t find it
Walking down the street
I know I won’t find it 
If I do I will be complete

Every facet,
Every curve,
A perfect body to observe
The ideal form in every line
Perfection is so divine

I’m looking for something 
It has to be the perfect form
I’m looking for something 
It certainly not the form

Must be Perfect (Plato 424/423 – 348/347 BC)

Some songs are more personal than others. 

This one began with me soloing on my guitar. For some reason, what I was playing registered with the same emotion I felt when I learned my dad was going to prison. So, I created a song around that soloing and story. 

But what I felt in relation to my own biography has been recreated millions of times across this country. After all, we don’t call it _mass_ incarceration for nothing. 

Song songs that are deeply personal turn out to be deeply collective as well.

Lyrics:

"Commotion
Love motion
So potent
She glowing
And I'm going for her
Right now I'm going for her

Love motion baby
I'm getting all that work
Put that love in motion booskie
I'm wanting all the perks
Come on move that body mami
Be on your very worst
My baddies, my bitties
My baddies, love motion

Love motion
I'm bout action
Love how it puts you in emotion
I'm about that one

Don't rile me up cause you know ill go crazy
Take a chill pill so now she wanna date me
I'm feeling up to my old ways
Throw on 4 chains, clean J's
And switch into the low range
Ay, just to get a little some going
She's blushing n its showing now
And I don't really mind showing off
I get her glowing, then were going up
And I don't really care who else showing up
The way I treat her, I deserve a golden cup
I'm a man who always holds the fuss
If theres danger, I'll keep it tucked
I'm not gon be the one holding us up
I'm a man of my word, and now you're fucked
You know all the work I put in on those trucks

Love motion baby
I'm getting all that work
Put that love in motion booskie
I'm wanting all the perks
Come on move that body mami
Be on your very worst
My baddies, my bitties
My baddies, love motion

Love motion
I'm bout action
Love how it puts you in emotion
I'm about that one

Cmon baby keep it a buck n gimme some time
I'm gonna pay off n all of you fine
I'll put it to work if you drawing the line
My love is one of a kind
I got your back if you're in a bind
I'm about pussy, I am a lion
Ooo I want it so bad I might start crying n drawing n falling
But listen baby, I don't even need to brag
Just listen to what I am saying
Be my teachers pet
I'll have you telling all of your friends
No disrespect
I just like the way that you say it
Come have a conversation
I'll be impatiently waiting
You already know what my name is
Don't miss me baby, I'm a lay up

Love motion baby
I'm getting all that work
Put that love in motion booskie
I'm wanting all the perks
Come on move that body mami
Be on your very worst
My baddies, my bitties
My baddies, love motion

Love motion
I'm bout action
Love how it puts you in emotion
I'm about that one

Commotion
Love motion
So potent
She glowing
And I'm going for her
Right now I'm going for her"

"Love Motion"

The Mole People may be hidden from society's gaze, but we are not invisible. Our existence is a silent rebellion.
