I done been through a whole lot
|
Trials and tribulations but I know God
|
Satan wanna put me in a bow tie
|
Praying that the holy water
|
don’t go dry yeah yeah
|
As I look around me
|
So many motherfuckers wanna down me
|
But ain’t no nigga never drown me
|
In front of a dirty double mirror
|
they found me
|
And I love myself
|
The world is a ghetto
|
with guns and Dickie signs
|
I love myself
|
But it can do what it want
|
whenever it wants and I don’t mind
|
I love myself
|
He said I gotta get up life
|
is more than suicide
|
I love myself
|
One day at the time sun gone shine
|
Everybody looking
|
at you crazy Crazy
|
What you gone do What you gone do
|
Lift up your head and
|
keep moving Keep moving
|
Or let the paranoia
|
haunt you Haunt you
|
Peace to fashion police
|
I wear my heart
|
On my sleeve let the runway start
|
You know the miserable
|
do love company
|
Fuck do you want
|
from me and my scars
|
Everybody lack confidence
|
everybody lack confidence
|
How many times
|
our potential was anonymous
|
How many times the city
|
making me promises
|
So I promise this
|
And I love myself
|
The world is a ghetto with
|
guns and Dickie signs
|
I love myself
|
But it can do what it want
|
whenever it wants and I don’t mind
|
I love myself
|
He said I gotta get up life
|
is more than suicide
|
I love myself
|
One day at the time sun gone shine
|
They wanna say
|
there’s a war outside
|
and a bomb in the street
|
And a gun in the hood
|
and a mob of police
|
And I rock on the corner
|
in a line full of fiends
|
And a bottle full of lean
|
and a model on the scene yup
|
These days of frustration
|
keep y’all on tucking rotation
|
I duck these gold faces
|
post up fee fi fo fum bases
|
Dreams of realities peace
|
Blow steam in the face of the beast
|
The sky can fall down
|
the wind can cry now
|
The strong in me I still smile
|
And I love myself
|
The world is a ghetto
|
with guns and Dickie signs
|
I love myself
|
But it can do what it want
|
whenever it wants and I don’t mind
|
I love myself
|
He said I gotta get up
|
life is more than suicide
|
I love myself
|
One day at the time sun gone shine
|
Walk my barefeet Walk my barefeet
|
Down down valley peak
|
Down down valley peak
|
I keep my fee fi fo fum Fee fi fo fum
|
I keep my heart undone
|
My heart undone
|
And I love myself
|
The world is a ghetto
|
with guns and Dickie signs
|
I love myself
|
But it can do what it want
|
whenever it wants and I don’t mind
|
I love myself
|
He said I gotta get up
|
life is more than suicide
|
I love myself
|
One day at the time sun gone shine
|
I went to war last night
|
I’mma do it ’til I get it right
|
I went to war last night
|
I’ve been dealing
|
with depression ever
|
since an adolescent
|
I can never yell the blessin’
|
l can never see the message
|
I can never take the lead
|
I can never bob and weave
|
For my nigga that be letting ‘em
|
alienate me
|
And the sound is moving
|
in a meteor speed
|
From a 100 to a billion’
|
til my body in the street
|
Keep my money in the ceiling
|
let my mama know I’m free
|
Give my story to the children
|
and the lesson they can read
|
And the glory to the feeling
|
of all of y’all scenes
|
Seen enough make a motherfucker
|
scream I love myself
|
I lost my head I must’ve misread
|
what the good book said
|
Oh woes keep me
|
it’s a jungle inside
|
Give myself again’
|
til the well runs dry
|
