I Love Myself (Letra)
We got a young brother to stand for something
We got a young brother to believe in the all of us
Brother kendrick lamar
He’s not a rapper, he’s a writer, he’s a rapper
And if you read between the lines
We’ll learn how to love one another
But you can’t do that
I said, you can’t do that
Without loving yourself first
I done been through a whole lot
Trials and tribulations, but I know God
Satan wanna put me in a bow-tie
Praying that the holy water don’t go dry, yeah yeah
As I look around me
So many motherfuckers wanna down me
But an enemigo never drown me
In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me
And I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and dickie signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want with everyone and I don’t mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than sour side)
I love myself
(One day at the time, sun gone shine)
Everybody looking at you crazy (crazy)
What you gon’ do? (what you gon’ 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 heart
On my sleeve let the runway start
You know the miserable do love company
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
I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and dickie signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want with everyone and I don’t mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than sour side)
I love myself
(One day at the time, sun gone shine)
They wanna say there’s a war outside and a bomb in the street
And a gun in the hood and a mob of police
And I rock on the corner in a line full of fiends
And a bottle full of lean and a model on a scheme, yup
These days of frustration keep y’all on tucking rotation
I duck these gold faces, post up fee-fi-fo-fum bases
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
I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and dickie signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want with everyone and I don’t mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than sour side)
I love myself
(One day at the time, sun gone shine)
Walk my bare feet (Walk my bare feet)
Down, down valley deep (Down, down valley deep)
Fi-fie-fo-fum (Fi-fie-fo-fum)
My heart undone (My heart undone)
I went to war last night
With an automatic weapon, don’t nobody call a medic
I’ma do it till I get it right
I went to war last night
I’ve been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent
I can never yell the blessin’, l can never see the message
I can never take the lead, I can never bob and weave
For my nigga that be letting ‘em alienate me
And the sound is moving in a meteor speed
From a 100 to a billion ‘til 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 motherfucker 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 ‘til the well runs dry.
