Self Love

I'm listenin'
 Caught up in a web of deception
 From this shit I done learned new lesson
 So what cha do, you keep on playing, you play on, playa
 From love to confusion
 You keep getting but you keep losin'
 So whatcha find comforting, your boozin', bosom
 Heart brusin', I'm the one
 From the high note to the low pains
 You see destruction but no aftermath
 Only voices you hear in your head
 They all laugh, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha, yeah
 From your denials to your delusions
 Everything you gain you keep loson'
 What you not know, this is an illusion
 So what the hell you're doin'
 He's looking and looking
 He's looking and looking
 He's looking and looking
 He's looking at you, he's looking at me
 He's looking and looking
 He's looking and looking
 He's looking at you, he's looking at me
 He's looking at us, he's looking at we
 Ah shit, he's lookin' at me
 You wake up, baby boy, but you're not sleep
 You test full but you're not it
 You're running fast but you're not on your feet
 And your speed is dead
 You run along but you not know
 You climb inside but you can't grow
 Faster and faster until you fall to them floor
 You screamed on but don't sing along
 You work and work with no pay
 You punch a clock but never end your day
 You take vacation but your not playing
 What we say by this time, here my friends, drink three
 You cry, cry, revolution, but what you want is a solution
 But you're more content with being a pollution
 Jump in the motion, and ask the notion
 He's looking and looking
 He's looking and looking
 He's looking at you, he's looking at me
 He's looking at us, he's looking at we
 He's looking and looking
 He's looking and looking
 He's looking at you, he's looking at me
 He's looking at us, he's looking at we
 Ah, looking

 If you don't like your job
 Maybe, you should quit stop being a bitch and love yourself
 If you believe things can work out easily
 I'm telling you if you don't like what your mama's telling you
 Then be a grown man and stand up on your own two and love yourself
 And if your girlfriend's on welfare
 Then baby, walk away, you don't have to care and love yourself
 And if standing on the corner and pushing them rocks up in your socks
 Ain't what you want to do tonight then, love yourself
 L O V E, L O V E, yo
 L O V E, L O V E, yo
 He's looking at L O V E
 He's looking at L O V E
 He's looking at L O V E
 Love yourself
 What I'm tryin' to tell you here is
 Life it passes you by
 And if you don't get up off your ass
 I'm telling you, it's gonna fly, the time's gonna fly
 And you'd find yourself about fifty years old
 Sittin' on a porch with your grand kids
 But you know what, man, you ain't got shit to tell
 You still live in that same-old bullshit-ass reality
 That was passed on down to you by your family
 From generation to generation to generation to generation
 And you ain't got shit, man, you sure fucked up
 All right, it's real simple
 I mean, this is for anybody, any age, man
 Get up off your ass, forget the past
 And remember that the future is the only thing that you fuckin' got
 So run with that shit
 Shit, it's that simple, ain't it? Yeah
 Love yourself, believe in yourself
 Be true to yourself, be you for yourself, do you?

 Punch a clock but never end your day, yeah
 You run along but you not know
 You climb inside but you can't grow
 You cry, cry, cry, revolution
 But there is no solution
 'Cause you're the pollution, yeah

 Nigga, learn your lesson
