Love Yourself

It's been a long way but I made it here with love

I made it here with love love

Said I've been and up and down and I've been through it all

Took a while to know my heart

Oh yes it did yeah

Before love like this you go

Through the fire and valley lows

But if you just hold on

Please hold on 'cause love is strong it'll save yah

Oh please hold on it'll save yah save yah

Truth can be the sweetest pain

It can mess up everything

It's the only way you know
I'm payin' for it I'm changin' for it

Oh oh and it hurts

But I'll make it work

'Cause I'm no beginner
I'm a winner paid dues I know my purpose

Thought they'd put my life on hold

But I knew somethin' they didn't know

I know myself too much to ever fold

Dark clouds are movin' past you

Oh you gotta love yourself

If you really wanna be with someone else

You gotta feed yourself

Before you feed somebody else

You gotta stay open and don't be foolish
'Cause everybody don't mean you well

You gotta love yourself

Before you love somebody else

Yeah gotta love yourself

I decided not to use my color as a handicap

He a designer artist producer and he rap
Never found virtue from patience
In a dark room just pacin'
Precious time is just wastin'
You do not know what we facin'
I cannot be complacent
In my job be courageous
Another kid just got shot
They can't find the assailant
Made it out of the basement
Made it out of the underground
From a time where you outta town
They might gun you down blaow
There goes another round blaow
There goes another round

Came from the chi and wow look what the **** they found
A young legend comin' to shut the summer down

You need to talk to me like you don't when your mother 'round

Oh you gotta love yourself oh yeah
If you really wanna be with someone else

You gotta feed yourself

Before you feed somebody else

You gotta stay open and don't be foolish

'Cause everybody don't mean you well

You gotta love yourself

You gotta love yourself
Before you love somebody else

I don't feel no one's time

Can't get restless in the soul

Hold your heart the world is cold
Keep singin' don't you stop prayin' woman

Yeah it will come to pass

Don't worry 'bout nothin'

God knows that you're worth it
You deserve it can't nothin' else hurt you

Thought they'd put my life on hold

But I knew somethin' they didn't know

I know myself too much to ever fold

Dark clouds are movin' past you

Oh you gotta love yourself oh yeah
If you really wanna be with someone else

You gotta feed yourself

Before you feed somebody else

You gotta stay open and don't be foolish
'Cause everybody don't mean you well

You gotta love yourself

You gotta love yourself
Before you love somebody else
Somebody else
