Self Love Is Powerful

[00:12.18] I apologize if I hurt you
[00:14.57] Along the way (For real)
[00:15.95] Self love is powerful,
[00:17.29] Heard it's the only way (Word)
[00:18.84] Self love is powerful,
[00:20.17] Heard it's the only way (Word)
[00:21.46] Drownin' in my thoughts,
[00:22.55] What if I lost it all today? (Nah)
[00:23.83] Never slowin' down 'cause
[00:25.15] Dudes gotta be paid (Right)
[00:26.74] Self love is powerful,
[00:28.90] Heard it's the only way (Word)
[00:30.76] Self love is powerful,
[00:32.17] Heard it's the only way
[00:33.81] That's the motivation I need to keep makin' plays
[00:36.28] All that energy got put in to
[00:38.45] Keep us from education
[00:39.92] Now I identify with them
[00:41.73] Brothers locked in them cages
[00:43.11] Yo, don't go back, that's a
[00:44.77] Different way to enslave us
[00:46.19] Pickin' up the path that my
[00:47.69] Ancestors paved us
[00:49.39] Nothin' to lose is the mindset
[00:50.72] We seem to move with
[00:52.33] The world improve when
[00:53.68] They fill us with more confusion
[00:55.25] We kill each other more
[00:56.74] Than the KKK movement
[00:58.20] Knowledge is power when
[00:59.49] You in that courtroom clueless
[01:01.02] Crazy how I learned from
[01:03.48] All my brother mistakes
[01:04.75] Carried all the traits 'cause
[01:06.02] The neighborhoods wasn't safe
[01:07.81] I'll just move a little different
[01:09.82] And I'll be straight
[01:11.39] But I could never prepare
[01:12.47] For the problems that I face
[01:13.85] Eat better, drink water, think better
[01:16.84] Feed the mind information,
[01:18.31] It's a spiritual invasion
[01:20.06] No more moments with
[01:21.70] My confidence deflated
[01:23.18] Is what I tell myself and
[01:24.46] I'm not renegotiatin'
[01:26.38] I apologize if I hurt you
[01:27.84] Along the way (For real)

[01:52.15] It make us better
[01:53.73] Trapped inside these trenches,
[01:55.63] It's hopeless for us forever (Yeah)
[01:56.98] Dad was on my sweater,
[01:58.55] That Beretta necessary (Ayy)
[01:59.75] Too much for mom to bear
[02:01.37] And he too young for us to bury
[02:02.82] Them caskets had to carry
[02:04.41] Was many 'cause it was real life
[02:06.21] He was just here now
[02:07.84] He layin' in that field, like
[02:09.47] You seen 'em target blacks
[02:10.93] For that crack epidemic, real life
[02:12.52] Them prisons only built for us niggas,
[02:14.23] This shit is still trife
[02:15.51] It's real life, learn to love yourself,
[02:17.37] Nigga, that's real love
[02:18.72] The hatred never penetrate either,
[02:20.23] Ain't no steel love
[02:21.84] Old girl he fed his gang,
[02:23.19] Already run through the and ones
[02:24.55] Fuck who talkin' down,
[02:26.09] It ain't slowin' down, we still love
[02:27.94] Drownin' in my thoughts,
[02:29.39] If I lost it, I'd probably kill somethin'
[02:30.77] Self-inflicted pain, quit tootin'
[02:32.48] And poppin' pills, youngin
[02:34.18] Self love is power if you
[02:35.50] Ain't never learned nothin' from us
[02:36.83] Self love is power if you
[02:38.17] Ain't never learned nothin' from us
