I done been through
a whole lot
trial, tribulation
but I know God
Satan wanna put me
in a bow tie
praying that the holy
water don't go dry
yay, yay
As I look around me
so many motherf***ers
wanna down me
but ain't no n***a
never drown me
In front of
a dirty double-mirror
they found me
and I love myself
I love myself
I love myself
I love myself
Everybody looking
at you crazy
What you gon' do?
Lift up your head
and keep moving
or let the paranoia
haunt you?
Peace to fashion police
I wear my heart
on my sleeve
let the runway start
You know the miserable
do love company
and what 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
I love myself
I love myself
I love myself
They wanna say there's
a war outside and a bomb
on the street and a gun
in the hood and
a mob of police
And a rock on the corner
And a line full of fiends
And a bottle full of lean
And a model
on the scheme yep
These days of frustration
keep y'all on ducking
rotation
I duck these gold faces
post up fee-fi-fo-fum basis
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
I love myself
I love myself
I love myself
Walk my bare feet
Down, down valley deep
I keep myself
I keep myself
I love myself
I love myself
I love myself
I love myself
I went to war last night
With an automatic
weapon
don't nobody call a medic
Imma do it
till I get it right
I went to war last night
I've been dealing with
depression ever since an
adolescent duckin' every
other blessin' l can never
see the message
I can never take the lead
I can never bob and
weave for my n***a
that be letting 'em
annihilate me
And the sound is moving
in a meteor speed
from a hundred to a
billion lay 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 the holy unseen
seen enough make a
motherf***er 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
till the well runs dry-y
