Alijah Tha Great - Self Love

Self love
I've seen too many of us that don't have enough
Can't even force a smile to hide behind, we got it rough
Anxiety tripping when friends decide to call our bluff
We say we fine inside our mind inside we burning up
To no upside we wonder why good days ain't turning up
Proceed to playing captions to our ships lost at sea and
Tryna find a way to help each other out the deep end
But we can't save another ship if ours already sinking
Let that sink in, it's way more to life than what we see when
The outcome of investing in yourself transcends the reasons
Why don't we all accept the beauty in us
Take some time to reflect and let ourselves get in touch
With affirmations, meditation, and all that life offers us
To ease our conscience in this nonsense, in this hell we entrust
Cause our success is predetermined in the way we evolve
Can't move on until we learn the value of self love
Through all the pain in this life (I love myself)
Through every trial, every fight (I love myself)
Promise to say this every night (I love myself)
They say I found true wealth, came through self love
Through all the pain in this life (I love myself)
Through every trial, every fight (I love myself)
Promise to say this every night (I love myself)
They say I found true wealth
I know you heard this before
Know yourself, know your worth
But what they don't tell you is about the powers you unlock hidden within the Earth
You gotta find the happiness sitting within the hurt
Cause every flower ever blossomed came up from the dirt
Feed the heart what it desires, the mind what it requires
Stimulate good energy cause thou shall not expire
And in no way would I say to neglect the roads prior
To what's upon us I want us to know what got us higher
You see it takes reflection to form a solid connection
An understanding of balance to fight signs of regression
If you let the power of perseverance guide your direction
You'll find every wrong that you made will make its own correction
See I had to learn what love is and isn't
Didn't have any guidance I just had well precision with my decisions
This prison will not confine us
If I found the slightest bit of wonder to excel my vision
Listen, the love we have for each other, I know is something sacred
But with a love for yourself, no one could ever break it
And that's the power you wake with, no one can ever take it
If we came this far I know we'll make it
With self love
Through all the pain in this life (I love myself)
Through every trial, every fight (I love myself)
Promise to say this every night (I love myself)
They say I found true wealth, came through self love
Through all the pain in this life (I love myself)
Through every trial, every fight (I love myself)
Promise to say this every night (I love myself)
They say I found true wealth
To anybody in this world
That's ever felt alone and ever felt unloved
I want you to know that the journey always starts from within
And it's on us to ensure that we always see a brighter tomorrow
And one day when you looking back, you gone be thinking about how far you came
And that's because anything's possible
With Self Love
