self love is powerful

Singer:dizzy wright

i apologize if i hurt you along the way

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

drownin' in my thoughts

what if i lost it all today?

never slowin' down 'cause dudes gotta be paid

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

that's the motivation i need to keep makin' plays

all that energy got put in to keep us from education

now i identify with them brothers locked in them cages

yo

don't go back

that's a different way to enslave us

pickin' up the path that my ancestors paved us

nothin' to lose is the mindset we seem to move with

the world improve when they fill us with more confusion

we kill each other more than the kkk movement

knowledge is power when you in that courtroom clueless

crazy how i learned from all my brother mistakes

carried all the traits 'cause the neighborhoods wasn't safe

i'll just move a little different and i'll be straight

but i could never prepare for the problems that i face

eat better

drink water

think better

feed the mind information

it's a spiritual invasion

no more moments with my confidence deflated

is what i tell myself and i'm not renegotiatin'

i apologize if i hurt you along the way

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

drownin' in my thoughts

what if i lost it all today?

never slowin' down 'cause dudes gotta be paid

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

that's the motivation i need to keep makin' plays

practicin' islam just hopin' it make us better

trapped inside these trenches

it's hopeless for us forever

dad was on my sweater

that beretta necessary

too much for moms bear and he too young for us to bury

them caskets had to carry was mainy 'cause it was real life

he was just here now he layin' in that field

like

you seen 'em target blacks for that crack epidemic

real life

them prisons only built for us niggas

this shit is still trife

it's real life

learn to love yourself

nigga

that's real love

the hatred never penetrate either

ain't no steel love

old girl he fed his gang

already run through the and ones

fuck who talkin' down

it ain't slowin' down

we still love

drownin' in my thoughts

if i lost it

i'd probably kill somethin'

self-inflicted pain

quit tootin' and poppin' pills

youngin

self love is power if you ain't never learned nothin' from us

self love is power if you ain't never learned nothin' from us

i apologize if i hurt you along the way

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

drownin' in my thoughts

what if i lost it all today?

never slowin' down 'cause dudes gotta be paid

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

self love is powerful

heard it's the only way

that's the motivation i need to keep makin' plays
