Self-Love

We're destroying ourselves because of a lack of self-love
We're not enjoying ourselves because of a lack of thereof
We want to be like everyone else except us
But, everyone else just wants to throw you under the bus
They come into our communities selling drugs and dope
When consuming these things, we can't expect to have hope
There has to be a new mindset right now and today
We have to come to present time, right now we're astray
Wake up black nation, get rid of this world's mindset
Come on black nation, take off the binds so you can reset
We need some serious brainwashing in this day and time
We've achieved great things, but have yet to reach our prime
We forgot about our history going trillions back
Listening to Farrakhan will put you quickly back on track
Let him cleanse your mind so that you can stand upright
But if you must lay down, then lay in God's bright light
You'll stand right back up, and be put on the right path
Come out of America to avoid suffering God's wrath
Come out of her ways, and her thought process
Get some brainwashing and accomplish great progress
Get out of white superiority, black inferiority
“What will you lose?” I'm asking you rhetorically.
You will lose nothing, but you'll gain self-respect
And the black nation will finally reconnect
Self-love doesn't start from a government, or high place
Let us embrace each other, give a little kindness and grace
Why are we begging, are we brain dead?
By begging and marching do we hope to gain bread?
Let's stop that nonsense and start doing for self
You want a blessing but you're not extending yourself
We're frustrated because we're a non-productive people
Let's go back to the land, get off of your high steeple
Let's love each other, respect each other, encourage one another
Love and respect your sisters, father, brothers, and mother
Is there a secret to self-love and self-respect?
Just do it, then that's when your greatness will take effect.
