SELF LOVE
[Verse]
I’m still in love with the feeling of life
Even though this shit be feeling so trite
Since a younging they tried to box me in
And dim all my light
Now could you tell me what the feeling is like?
Lost my way through this winter
Seen things i can’t forget
Lord knows that i’m a sinner
Bear christ across my chest
Survive this life and i’m a winner
I'm a student, this my test
But it’s hard to shake these demons when they aiming at your neck
Soul is weary, must protect
Put my heart in every track
'cuz i know without my music that there would be nothing left
When i’m dead and gone i pray you think about me often
But it’s a long life to live so til then we gon keep it rocking
Music pulsing through my veins this my only option
If you don’t practice what you preach then why the fuck you talking?
Lot of wisdom came from this hurt
I stick my hands in the dirt to form this life again to show myself what I’m really worth
Lord please forgive me
I ain’t been to service
Hope you looking over me
This feeling make me nervous
Remember back at 17 my life ridden with curses
So now i choose to put myself first because i earned it
I love you
I love you
