I done been through a whole lotTrials and tribulations, but I know GodSatan wanna put me in a bow-tiePraying that the holy water don't go dry, yeah yeahAs I look around meSo many motherfuckers wanna down meBut ain't no nigga never drown meIn front of a dirty double-mirror they found meAnd I love myself(The world is a ghetto with guns and picket 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 heartOn my sleeve let the runway startYou know the miserable do love companyFuck do you want from me and my scars?Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidenceHow many times our potential was anonymous?How many times the city making me promises?So I promise thisAnd I love myself(The world is a ghetto with guns and picket 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 streetAnd a gun in the hood and a mob of policeAnd a rock on the corner and a line full of fiendsAnd a bottle full of lean and a model on a scheme, yupThese days of frustration keep y'all on tucking rotationI duck these gold faces, post up fee-fi-fo-fum basesDreams of realities peaceBlow steam in the face of the beastThe sky can fall down, the wind can cry nowThe strong in me, I still smileI love myself(The world is a ghetto with guns and picket 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 picket 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 nightWith an automatic weapon, don't nobody call a medicI'mma do it 'til I get it rightI went to war last nightI've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescentDuckin' every other blessin', l can never see the messageI can never take the lead, I can never bob and weaveFor my nigga that be letting 'em alienate meAnd the sound is moving in a meteor speedFrom a 100 to a billion lay my body in the streetKeep my money in the ceiling let my mama know I'm freeGive my story to the children and the lesson they can readAnd the glory to the feeling of all of y'all scenesSeen enough, make a motherfucker scream, I love myself!I lost my head, I must've misread what the good book saidOh woes keep me, it's a jungle insideGive myself again 'til the well runs dry
