Jah Knows

[Intro] God, I love myself, so I can't stop workin' I put my pain into Jah, baby, Jah know this God, I love myself, I approach with caution I put my pain into Jah, only Jah knows [Verse 1] Eighteen, but I still feel sixteen Cold nights, broke dreams that I can't see The man I wanna be vs. the old me In the mirror with a stare that haunts me, huh Friends turned distant and some ghost, huh Some still here, but we ain't close Some lyin' on my name, tryna make joke Some of my friends make bread, but they don't post Goals on the wall, moodboard dreams And their gym routine, more peace than lean Okay, she still gets dressed like she on stage But it's less for the looks and it's more grades I said rude don't shout at your shows in waves Like stayin' on the cool when there's nothin' to say Like splittin' your last penny when you ain't paid Like prayin' for more peace when you ain't saved [Chorus] God, I love myself, so I can't stop workin' I put my pain into Jah, baby, Jah know this (Jah knows) God, I love myself, I approach with caution I put my pain into Jah, only Jah knows [Verse 2] Told labels I'm a prophet, not a product, see They want profit off pain, that's a prophecy They want true, but diluted and safe in suits But I ain't tradin' my truth just to lace boots Born in a place where the pain speaks first Where a hug might heal or might hide that curse You either learn how to swim or get lost in the tide When mans own job can mean work or a glide I've seen friends hit jail, seen man get rich Seen hearts turn numb, seen snakes just switch I been loyal to a fault even when I knew better Now I write pain in lines and write letters Allegations on I? ****, never Cah God knows I been annointed since birth Always knew I was appointed since church I don't pay attention to hate, it's just words [Chorus] God, I love myself, so I can't stop workin' (Can't stop, so I can't stop workin') I put my pain into Jah, baby, Jah know this (Jah knows) God, I love myself, I approach with caution (Approach with caution) I put my pain into Jah, only Jah knows (Yeah) God, I love myself, so I can't stop workin' (Can't stop, so I can't stop workin') I put my pain into Jah, baby, Jah know this (Jah knows) God, I love myself, I approach with caution (Approach with caution) I put my pain into Jah, only Jah knows
