Lyrics and translation
Original
This is a world -premiere. This is a world premiere. -I done been through a whole lot.
Trial, tribulation, but I know God. Satan wanna put me in a bow tie.
Pray that the holy water don't go dry, yeah, yeah.
As I look around me, so many motherfucker wanna down me. But you know me gon' never drown me.
In front of a dirty double mirror, they found me. And I love myself. The world is a ghetto with guns and dick and signs.
I love myself. But they can do what they want whenever they want, I don't mind.
I love myself.
You said I gotta get up, life's a world of suicide. I love myself.
One day at a time. Sun gon' shine. Everybody lookin' at you crazy. Crazy. What you gon' do?
What you gon' do? Lift up your head and keep movin'. Keep movin'.
Or let the paranoia haunt you. Haunt you.
Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart on my sleeve. Let the runway start. You know the miserable do love company.
What do you want from me and my scars? Everybody lack confident. Everybody lack confident.
How many time my potential was anonymous? How many time the city makin' me promises? So
I promise this. I love myself. The world is a ghetto with guns and dick and signs.
I love myself. But they can do what they want whenever they want, I don't mind.
I love myself. You said I gotta get up, life's a world of suicide. I love myself.
One day at a time. Sun gon' shine.
They wanna say it's a war outside and a bomb in the street And a gun in the hood and a mob of police And a rock on the corner and a line full of fiend And a bottle full of lean and a model on the scene, yep
These days of frustration keep your lone tug in rotation
I duck these cold faces, post up, fee-fi-fo-fum faces Dreams of reality's peace Blow steam in the face of the beast The sky can fall down, the wind can cry now The strong in me, I still smile I love myself The world is a ghetto with guns and dick and signs I love myself But they can do what they want whenever they want,
I don't mind I love myself You said I gotta get up, life's a world of suicide I love myself One day at a time Sun gon' shine Walk my bare feet
Walk my bare feet Down, down valley deep Down, down valley deep I love myself
Fee-fi-fo-fum Fee-fi-fo-fum I love myself My heart undone My heart undone I love myself The world is a ghetto with guns and dick and signs I love myself But they can do what they want whenever they want, I don't mind I love myself You said
I gotta get up, life's a world of suicide I love myself One day at a time
Sun gon' shine I went to war last night
With a heart, a metal weapon, don't nobody call a medic I'ma do it 'til I get it right I went to war last night
I've been dealin' with depression ever since I had a lesson Duckin' every other blessin', I could never see the message I could never take the lead, I could never run with weed For my negative elitism, my negative need And it's evident I'm movin' at a meteor speed Feel I run into a building, lay my body in the street Keep my money in the ceiling, let my mama know I'm free Give my story to the children and a lesson they can read And the glory to the feeling that I only unseen Seen enough, make a motherfucker scream I love myself
I lost my head, I must desperate What the Lord would say Oh, rocky me, it's a jungle inside Give myself again 'til the well runs dry
