Love Yourself

From the album Remind You by Scottychams

Intro

You wasting too much time

You taking too much time

I need it for the rhymes

And you still wonder why

I even bother to try

But we both know

We both know

That you were never mine

We both know

So nevermind

Verse

If you can't love yourself

How can you love someone else?

Depression will find you in time

If you let regrets sit

And get bested by lessons

Day in and day out

Cause if you take it home with you

Another way to doubt

Your mental

State's essential

Keep my vices transparent

Another detrimental

Experimental millennial

Who missed all the fundamentals

And this shit ain't going to stop

It's cutting my potential

This vibe made me who I am

Got to see past the tunnel

Vision I've focused in

Identified my sins

So that I could repent

Cause this self awareness shit

Is deeper than trying to win

It's deeper than being Christian

It's realer than reeling in

But it's different from wishing

It's the same as your habits

Y'all missioning for all that ambition

Just to get it

Just like an addict

Try to give up leisure for the most part

And go hard, 100% heart

I've been rapping for the art

You treat difference like a problem

It wasn't one til you tried to "solve" it

I'm appalled with their resolve and

Wonder why you even get involved

In the corporate installation

Of everything concentrated

Focus and lots of patience

In this pill that got me pacing

Wondering if the long term effects

Started to set in

Repeating so repetitive

I get it I notice

Psychosis

Might be poking

But genius and insanity

Is borderline

I'm toking

On something potent

To slow down

You may think I'm paranoid

I just don't want you around

You may think I'm paranoid

I just don't want you around

Yeah

And sometimes I wonder where the lines slip

From my mind's eye eclipsed

Cause shit I was contrasting

Virtues every chance I get

But one thing I was sure to

Ensure that I'd never hurt you

I take on all the pain so it'll never turn you

To keep you from feeling the flame

I'm getting burned first

Doubled down for the worse

It's my blessing

And my curse

Threw it in this song

You can treat it like any other verse

Cause I'm gone
