Save Yourself

(专辑： DiVE - 2019)

Friends saying let's go
But they only want your gold
Homie, better save yourself, yeah
Drugs made you come close
Yeah, it almost took your soul
Yeah, you better save yourself
Fame got my head swole
Yeah, belly got a hole
Guess I gotta save myself
Money taking control
This is all a nigga knows
Damn, I better save myself
Yeah, damn, I better save myself
Damn, you better save yourself

Like it's your last breath
This life is filled with landmines, could be your last steps
That makes me stomp even harder on this terrain I'm given
Don't get distracted by getting paid and not paid attention
And then play the victim
I played the role, acting extra like B-roll
Now I feed the soul 'stead of feeding my ego
I still got an edge, still an upper hand, no opposition
I find that the only person to fear
Is that person that's in the mirror
That's my only competition
Young black with no faith in the system
Hope that resonated for those that's feeling less than
That's screaming for help but screams falling on deaf ears
Just believe what I'm saying
These words'll strike a chord like Stevie's piano playing now

Friends saying let's go
But they only want your gold
Homie, better save yourself, yeah
Drugs made you come close
Yeah, it almost took your soul
Yeah, you better save yourself
Fame got my head swole
Yeah, belly got a hole
Guess I gotta save myself
Money taking control
This is all a nigga knows
Damn, I better save myself
Yeah, damn, I better save myself
Damn, you better save yourself

Real friends keep you grounded so you can elevate
The type that rather stay working instead of celebrating
Premature with champagne glasses, yeah, we'd rather wait
Until some more commas and zeros are added by two
What some call crazy, I'm like, "It's cool"
Cut from a different cloth, came from a different school of thought
Play by some different rules
That's prepared me for what's yet to come (Yeah)
Handle stress better than some, maybe 'cause where I'm from
They try to turn your truth to something reckless
Unpopular opinions, no political correctness
Never expect me to choose sides
We just tryna choose something effective

Yeah, damn, I better save myself
Damn, you better save yourself
Yeah, damn, I better save myself
