Self Love

I'm listenin'

Caught up in a web of deception

From this shit I done learned new lesson

So what cha do, you keep on playing, you play on, playa

From love to confusion

You keep getting but you keep losin'

So whatcha find comforting, your boozin', bosom

Heart brusin', I'm the one

From the high note to the low pains

You see destruction but no aftermath

Only voices you hear in your head

They all laugh, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha, yeah

From your denials to your delusions

Everything you gain you keep loson'

What you not know, this is an illusion

So what the hell you're doin'

He's looking and looking

He's looking and looking

He's looking and looking

He's looking at you, he's looking at me

He's looking and looking

He's looking and looking

He's looking at you, he's looking at me

He's looking at us, he's looking at we

Ah shit, he's lookin' at me

You wake up, baby boy, but you're not sleep

You test full but you're not it

You're running fast but you're not on your feet

And your speed is dead

You run along but you not know

You climb inside but you can't grow

Faster and faster until you fall to them floor

You screamed on but don't sing along

You work and work with no pay

You punch a clock but never end your day

You take vacation but your not playing

What we say by this time, here my friends, drink three

You cry, cry, revolution, but what you want is a solution

But you're more content with being a pollution

Jump in the motion, and ask the notion

He's looking and looking

He's looking and looking

He's looking at you, he's looking at me

He's looking at us, he's looking at we

He's looking and looking

He's looking and looking

He's looking at you, he's looking at me

He's looking at us, he's looking at we

Ah, looking

If you don't like your job

Maybe, you should quit stop being a bitch and love yourself

If you believe things can work out easily

I'm telling you if you don't like what your mama's telling you

Then be a grown man and stand up on your own two and love yourself

And if your girlfriend's on welfare

Then baby, walk away, you don't have to care and love yourself

And if standing on the corner and pushing them rocks up in your socks

Ain't what you want to do tonight then, love yourself

L O V E, L O V E, yo

L O V E, L O V E, yo

He's looking at L O V E

He's looking at L O V E

He's looking at L O V E

Love yourself

What I'm tryin' to tell you here is

Life it passes you by

And if you don't get up off your ass

I'm telling you, it's gonna fly, the time's gonna fly

And you'd find yourself about fifty years old

Sittin' on a porch with your grand kids

But you know what, man, you ain't got shit to tell

You still live in that same-old bullshit-ass reality

That was passed on down to you by your family

From generation to generation to generation to generation

And you ain't got shit, man, you sure fucked up

All right, it's real simple

I mean, this is for anybody, any age, man

Get up off your ass, forget the past

And remember that the future is the only thing that you fuckin' got

So run with that shit

Shit, it's that simple, ain't it? Yeah

Love yourself, believe in yourself

Be true to yourself, be you for yourself, do you?

Punch a clock but never end your day, yeah

You run along but you not know

You climb inside but you can't grow

You cry, cry, cry, revolution

But there is no solution

'Cause you're the pollution, yeah

Nigga, learn your lesson
