Self Care

[Intro: Brent Faiyaz]

Hurt us now

Girl, your looks could commit murder

But, girl, can't nothing hurt us now

[Verse]

More than meets the eye

I know sometimes you stare at yourself

You the one, ain't no comparing yourself

Don't ever embarrass yourself

Broken heart, but you ain't tear it yourself

These niggas lame, you gotta cherish yourself

You too fly and you know it

But you ain't tryna fly to Paris yourself

You beautiful and you take care of yourself

One-eighty-seven when you walk through

Everybody perish and melt

Tryna buy love like it's right there on a shеlf

Checkin' out with your heart again

Black Ricks, and a blacked out Cardigan

In my city in that blackеd-out car again

Take a stroll through the trenches

Damn man, I forgot how hard it is, how my people ended up all heartless

All blacked-out heart, shit, black soul just to match my garment

Try to cross me like a damn Chrome Heart, bitch (Bitch)

I rose from darkness

Lit a cove, glitter, gold, no dark shit

I'ma shark in the ocean, a carp fish

I'm a prospect to my community, they don't know what to do with me

They wanna break my heart, but I was gifted with immunity

As soon to be, the greatest of my faculty, a human beast

But I was raised in hell, so I'm ridin' with a demon fleet

If this shit on the floor, we run this shit the ground, a demon feet

Sleepin' with an angel every night trying to have demon seeds

Patience is a virtue, that's the only reason niggas breathe

Momma told me, "Stop and quit the violence and let niggas be"

The hate weigh on my shoulders, I'm becoming public enemy

Talking with my cousin, tryna help him, he start seeing things

Drugged out, showing his true colors, I know he envy me

But even at your darkest, boy, I pity thee, silly me

Walking with my niggas and we got a certain synergy

My brother lost his brother, I lost my brother, man, I got empathy

Lost some of my brothers 'cause them niggas movin' finicky

They dead in my eyes, coincidentally

It's 'posed to be some cradle to the grave, shit, woke up feelin' betrayed, bitch

Head spinnin' like a Beyblade, bitch, gun filled with truth, bang-bang, bitch

Physically and spiritually away, bitch, but my mind still on the same shit

Mind still on that same shit, still on that same shit (Self-care)

Self-care, self-care

Self-care, self-care

Self-care, self-care

Self-care, self-care

Self-care, self-care

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Self-care, self-care

Self-care, self-care

Self-care, self-care

Self-care, self-care

Self-care, self-care

Tihs emas, tihs emas taht no llits

Erac fles, erac fles
