Save Yourself

[Chorus] Friends sayin' let's go But they only want your gold Homie, better save yourself, yeah Drugs made you come close Yeah, it almost took your soul Yeah, you better save yourself Fame got my head swole Yeah, belly got a hole Guess I gotta save myself Money taking control This is all a nigga knows Damn, I better save myself Yeah, damn, I better save myself Damn, you better save yourself [Verse 1] Like it's your last breath This life is filled with landmines, could be your last steps That makes me stomp even harder on this terrain I'm given Don't get distracted by getting paid and not pay attention And then play the victim I played the role, acting extra like B-roll Now I feed the soul 'stead of feeding my ego I still got an edge, still an upper hand, no opposition I find that the only person to fear is that person that's in the mirror, that's my only competition Young black with no faith in the system Hope that resonated for those that's feeling less than That's screaming for help but screams falling on deaf ears Just believe what I'm saying These words'll strike a chord like Stevie's piano playing now [Chorus] Friends sayin' let's go But they only want your gold Homie, better save yourself, yeah Drugs made you come close Yeah, it almost took your soul Yeah, you better save yourself Fame got my head swole Yeah, belly got a hole Guess I gotta save myself Money taking control This is all a nigga knows Damn, I better save myself Yeah, damn, I better save myself Damn, you better save yourself [Verse 2] Real friends keep you grounded so you can elevate The type that rather stay workin' instead of celebrating Premature with champagne glasses, yeah, we'd rather wait Until some more commas and zeros are added by two What some call crazy, I'm like, "It's cool" Cut from a different cloth, came from a different school of thought Play by some different rules That's prepared me for what's yet to come (Yeah) Handle stress better than some, maybe 'cause where I'm from They try to turn your truth to something reckless Unpopular opinions, no political correctness Never expect me to choose sides We just tryna choose something effective [Outro] Yeah, damn, I better save myself Damn, you better save yourself Yeah, damn, I better save myself
