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
