I was drawn to this song without realizing it’s origin and how meaningful it became for me. I have been re playing the Netflix video of the portion of the song trying to learn the words. Then it registered with me to look for it on RUclips and that’s when I saw the interview with Anthony Ramos and Win regarding how the song came about. I was pleasantly surprised to discover it’s connection to my life. I too am a cancer survivor and I can relate to the young lady’s experience while being treated for her cancer too. I love Mr. Ramos’ singing and the beautiful piano music of Mr. Win.
From the very first day in May that I heard this song this has been my testimony. I was physically abused before I could even talk as a child. Raped over 15 times . Became a mother 17 , had gun drawn to my head over 4 times. Ripped apart in financially , physically and emotionally abusive marriage for 10 years. Survived 6 suicide attempts last one occuring in September 2013 after being diagnosed with HIV. I was informed that it was a misdiagnosis in November 2013. I've had friends and family come and go using be at their disposal and convenience or as just simply something to talk about. I've lived 31 of my 33 years feeling like I was incapable of being loved and simply just not good enough but today I can look up with my head held high and proud single mother of 3 with them providing me with all the LOVE I could ever need in my own house with my own car with a heart still big enough to try and lift up the next broken soul who comes into my path. Now I appreciate Life. Today I live life! And the beauty is throughout it all I've learned to Celebrate me and NEVER let what happened yesterday take away my smile tomorrow.
Hooooooly fuck! My heart breaks reading that! Typing something like "stay strong" feel like its diminishing your struggles in life. I'm lost for words! Just.. My god I wish all good things showering over you for the rest of your life!!!
It really suited his character, too. Because he's a over the top personality like most people have when they're really depressed but they dont want other people to worry about them.
Don't wanna sound like the "Nation Time" guy in the show, but this song was a turning point for how I felt about the show. Spike Lee is the master of drawn-out portraiture - letting you into the pain, rage, fear, irony, defiance, hidden hope, and longing of his characters. What melted me for this show was during this scene when I realized that this body-blow soundtrack is not just decoration to the story. It is the story, in the sense that it fills out the emotional lives of his characters while at the same time connecting them to shared experiences.
AMAZING, I can't stop listening to this. Brought me to tears when I first heard it and again when I realized the meaning behind the song. WELL DONE Anthony, Will and Dariel.
Powerful lyrics. Moved me. Made me think of raising my daughters and the struggles along the way. Strength and Determination. Hope they appreciate my efforts cuz I'm Perfectly Imperfect.
Liryc. 💚 I got problems And I'll be the first to call them out Yeah, I get lonely Cuz lately friends don't stick around But I keep my hopes up Cuz that's the one thing I can control I don't fill my mind with petty lies I let that go I don't fill my mind with petty lies Let that go [Chorus:] And all...the troubles in my life won't bring me down And all...the struggles in my life they teach me how How I'm perfectly imperfect And when it hurts, I just remember there's a purpose So I'll cry today, smile tomorrow I cry today, smile tomorrow And those nights, when I'm all alone Feeling defeated, and beaten, abandoned, and far from home I sit in silence on the sidelines as the world moves on With puzzled pieces in my palms, wondering what the hell I did wrong [Chorus:] And all...the troubles in my life won't bring me down Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh And all...the struggles in my life they teach me how They teach me how How I'm perfectly imperfect And when it hurts, I just remember there's a purpose So I'll cry today, smile tomorrow I'll cry today, smile for all of those walls I've broken through All those times I couldn't choose The cards on the table The facts and the fables Smile for all the ones who hold me up When the weight is just too much And I can't bear it on my own even when I know [Chorus:] That all...the troubles in my life won't bring me down And all...the struggles in my life they teach me how Teach me how How I'm perfectly imperfect And when it hurts, I just remember there's a purpose So I'll cry today, smile tomorrow I'll cry today, smile tomorrow I cry today, smile tomorrow Cry today, smile tomorrow
My husband was chopping onions when I first heard this song.Regardless I love it! Excellent performance Mr. Ramos and hats off to the lyricist and arranger❤️
I’ve currently in a shitty place rn and last night i was watching this episode. Damn it hit a spot in a weird way. It felt like the universe knew something was up and it’s saying everything will be okay when mars started singing and the message of the song. Shit made me cry
Funny, I wanted to know who the young lady was in the new Nike/Spike Lee commercial, just to find out she was on the Netflix show of She's gotta have it. Loved the original movie, so I knew I'd like the series. An absolutely underrated series. This show is awesome, and this song... damn, it's like that. Grown ass man crying. I hate it took me this long to find it.
I fell in love with him with this one song
He's so talented. Love this song and love him
This song is soooo beautiful!!! I saw him differently after he sung this song on the show.. 🤗❤❤
Didn’t everyone 😫🥺
Same
Yes!! Same!!

Anthony is so talented

This touched my soul
Liryc. 💚
I got problems
And I'll be the first to call them out
Yeah, I get lonely
Cuz lately friends don't stick around
But I keep my hopes up
Cuz that's the one thing I can control
I don't fill my mind with petty lies
I let that go
I don't fill my mind with petty lies
Let that go
[Chorus:]
And all...the troubles in my life won't bring me down
And all...the struggles in my life they teach me how
How I'm perfectly imperfect
And when it hurts, I just remember there's a purpose
So I'll cry today, smile tomorrow
I cry today, smile tomorrow
And those nights, when I'm all alone
Feeling defeated, and beaten, abandoned, and far from home
I sit in silence on the sidelines as the world moves on
With puzzled pieces in my palms, wondering what the hell I did wrong
[Chorus:]
And all...the troubles in my life won't bring me down
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
And all...the struggles in my life they teach me how
They teach me how
How I'm perfectly imperfect
And when it hurts, I just remember there's a purpose
So I'll cry today, smile tomorrow
I'll cry today, smile for all of those walls I've broken through
All those times I couldn't choose
The cards on the table
The facts and the fables
Smile for all the ones who hold me up
When the weight is just too much
And I can't bear it on my own even when I know
[Chorus:]
That all...the troubles in my life won't bring me down
And all...the struggles in my life they teach me how
Teach me how
How I'm perfectly imperfect
And when it hurts, I just remember there's a purpose
So I'll cry today, smile tomorrow
I'll cry today, smile tomorrow
I cry today, smile tomorrow
Cry today, smile tomorrow
beautiful song this is. so powerful
