Wtf is Self Care
[Intro]
I'm hearing you, you know wha’ I mean?
If you say that's what I gotta do, then that's— that’s what I gotta do

[Verse]
(What the fuck is self-care?)
My dark shit is the purest
I hear self-care cures
(What the fuck is self-care?)
Tryna find that shit like a tourist
See if they take my insurance
(What the fuck is self-care?)
Oh—it's like using good lotions
And long walks on the ocean
(What the fuck is self-care?)
Mhm, yeah, it's like getting a massage
In a real place—not in a garage (Haha)
Yeah, yeah, it's eating health food
And making smoothies out of kelp cubes

[Break]
You know wha' I mean, that shit sound nasty but I'ma— Doing that shit in 2020, you wha' I mean?

[Verse]
(What the fuck is self care)
Yeah, I think I know what you suggesting
And it just sounds depressing
Yeah, yeah, it's like journaling
Writing shit that feels nurturing
I tried it out and found pain I was circling
And started crying so hard, I was gurgling
[Break]
But you know wha’ I mean? I ain’t out here murdering, right?

[Verse]
(What the fuck is self-care?)
I think I get it, finally
It's like going to wineries
I think I kinda get it
Nah mean? But, like, what is it?
(What the fuck is self-care?)
It’s like finding good smells
Or fine wood shelves
In my neighborhood, nobody sells that shit
So, oh, well
(What the fuck is self-care?)
I'm tryna make it smell flowery
Bitch, I got allergies
(What the fuck is self-care?)
I'm in the spot, got a sweet roll
Tryna hold onto a tree pose
It's like seeing what my body needs
Maybe that’s a lot of weed
Yeah, get a cup massage—that shit works, bro
Shit fucking hurt, though
(Fuck is self-care?)
For obstacles that you struggle past
The key is taking bubble baths
(Fuck is self-care?)
It's like very high thread counts
And not sleeping on a bed-couch
They said, "Don't smoke 'til you veg out"
So I pulled all my dreads out
