Penn Davis - Self Love

Back then they didn’t want me
Hol’up Penn, you ain’t made it yet
So back then is right now homie
And right now they was stuntin’ on me
Turn they back on me
They was frontin’ on me
I was sleepin’ on me
Til it dawned on me
I don’t need them
I’m the one and only
Heart around my sleeve
I use my thoughts as my cologne
Don’t threaten me to leave
We know I’m better on my own
I can’t rock with you
We hate to see you throwin stones
One thing that’s for certain
I take joy in the unknown
I embody blessings
When working on you then you never need a reference
I close my eyes
Cause having vision doesn’t signify direction
I coincide with a side that’s inside of me
Taking my truth then it twist and lie to me
I can feel as if i just hit the lottery
Then it take it, make it feel like it’s outta reach
Ima need all my respect
I can’t settle for less
Right now I’m low
You as high as a treble you talk with some bass in your chest
Like how you talk sweet on my name
All them sour remarks all that hate on your breath
You know what I’m bout
We can iron it out
Bruh i want you to know that I’m pressed
I hope you know that I’m back on your neck
Me and my past made a bet
That i wouldn’t come back for your death
Now look at me back to collect
Mane what a beautiful flex
I don’t do beef but you food at the best
Jealous of me then you fool with the rest
Tell you to leave you excused with the rest
Pride that’s in me make feel like I’m next
Proving myself
Heart around my sleeve
I use my thoughts as my cologne
Don’t threaten me to leave
We know I’m better on my own
I can’t rock with you
We hate to see you throwin stones
One thing that’s for certain
I take joy in the unknown
Hold up Penn think he hard cause he finna drop an album
Ain’t nobody bout to spin cause they better off without it
Plus your music don’t connect you should find another outlet
Mane don’t let them hype you up
You ain’t really got no talent
You ain’t really got no skill
Boi I’m bout to cause some damage
Look at you pitiful, miserable
Pretend to be happy but deep inside there’s a pit in you
Picture you poppin i can’t see it
I think your vision skewed see I’m you but a different you
A better you if we just being honest
I’m bettin’ you that you don’t really want it
A war with me I’m like the meanest army
This ain’t no sober nights, this gin and tonic
Time to take it to another climate
This is way more than rhymin’
You got drive but no alignment
Tryna talk bout coinciding
I been living through your eyelids
While you live on autopilot
In a group you like an island
So you lost and you can’t find it
Tryna fool me, you be lying
You forgetting you and I am
One in the same
I live in your brain
I’m feeling your pain
And we shouldn’t feel it ever again
But aw well if you want war
Let’s see who’ll win
Me versus you
Penn versus Penn
Heart around my sleeve
I use my thoughts as my cologne
Don’t threaten me to leave
We know I’m better on my own
I can’t rock with you
We hate to see you throwin stones
One thing that’s for certain
I take joy in the unknown
