Lifting You

Can't do it anymore, it's too much weight
 Hurts my vibe, hurts my pen
 My whole game's thrown off
 You disarm me, you know my weak spots
 One-person is an army
 It's alarming how quickly I've become fatigued
 A new league
 And now my old teammate is like my police
 Controlling my thoughts
 Carteling my dreams
 And I'm planting my seeds
 So I've gotta let go
 I'm cutting the ropes
 But you don't have to fall
 You can pass aboard
 You can take some notes
 You can make a call
 But you gotta trust your insides
 You gotta fuck with your own shine
 You've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 Yeah, you've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 'Cause I can't keep lifting you
 Can't keep lifting you
 I can't keep lifting you
 I can't keep lifting you
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 Yes, it's uncomfortable but I need to say
 You can't get anywhere if you don't love the way you're made
 You've got to be the one that defines you
 Be the one who supplies you
 Study those that inspire you
 Your fire is uniquely you
 How do you expect to grow?
 How do you expect to know more?
 You're not gonna get more dope
 Being mad at someone else's flow
 External validation is not a prerequisite for self-appreciation
 External validation is not a prerequisite for self-appreciation
 You've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 Yeah, you've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 You've got to love yourself first
 'Cause I can't keep lifting you
 Can't keep lifting you, oh
 I can't keep lifting you (I can't keep lifting you)
 I can't keep lifting you
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 Can't keep lifting you (higher) (so it's so high)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 There's just no time for comparing
 Sharing is all we can do, yeah
 I see the beauty inside you
 (I see the beauty inside you)
 But it's worthless till you see it too
 You got to love yourself first
 You got to love yourself first
 You got to love yourself first
 You got to love yourself first
 Yeah, you got to love yourself first
 You got to love yourself first
 You got to love yourself first
 You got to love yourself first
 Cause I can't keep lifting you
 Can't keep lifting you
 I can't keep lifting you
 I can't keep lifting you
 (I can't keep lifting you)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 Can't keep lifting you (higher)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 (I'm going up)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 (But I only have so much strength)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 Can't keep lifting you (higher)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 (I'm trying my best)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 (Wanna see you right there next to me)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 Can't keep lifting you (higher)
 (But you gotta love)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 (You gotta love)
 I can't keep lifting you (higher)
 (Go on say love)
