Love Yourself

scoring dope with a man full of cash
were gonna go home and kill his stash
were both high and we both lie,
saying, "babe, for you i would die"
but what makes me want to cry...
is we couldnt love if we tried.
to love another you must love yourself
more than you love anyone else
and when you feel you have no cause
look in the mirror and take a pause
and be a better person for you, not because someone told you to
change the things that you control
reinvent your tar black soul
piece your heart back into a whole
and come to terms with imperfections
see them as reflections
of selections of things that you cannot change
it sounds rather strange
but those things have intention
despite contravention
he will change the things that aren't right
and if these things cause you fright
do not take flight
stay and pray with all your might
these things are strategically staged
you wont understand,
and it sounds deranged
but everything happens for a reason
and change goes alike the season
so when youre in doubt keep in mind
youll understand those things with time
forever is whatever and if youre clever youll know
problems always come and go
same with people, sun and snow
the one person whos gona be there the longest,
is the reflection youve been treating the wrongest
so be fall in love with yourself
love you like no one else
treat yourself with love and care
and love your frizzy damaged hair
love your scars
look at them with eyes full of stars
and compliment your crooked noose
and the length of your freakish toes
no matter where your mood goes
remember through the highs and lows
no one but you will love you like you deserve
and if some twit has the nerve to chasesomebody else but hate their face you need to tell this battered soul
someone else will not provide the love you find and peace of mind you combine when you discover you cant love another until you love the way you shine
ever freckle
and every scar
you have to love who you are
