Tryna Fit In
I finally appreciate this
There's one thing that I'll never forget
My grandma always said
Don't be out there
Cuttin' up a fool
You know better than that
I wish that I could say that I listened
Too busy chasing what I was missing
The problem was
Got addicted to the wrong way
Doing crazy stuff
Peer pressure had me locked down
Gettin into trouble on the daily
Close call
5-0 pulled up to arrest me
Thank God
My grandma had to talk them down
She said, "Baby I don't know why you acting like a clown"
But the truth was
I wasn't willing to look in the mirror
And accept that I was really good enough
So I degraded myself
Looking for validation in others, dang
Look at me tryna fit in
I said look at me tryna fit in
I should've learned my lesson then, but
Look at me tryna fit in
I said look at me tryna fit in
Cuz all my grandma said kinda went in one ear out the other
Tried to be slick
Fake swag
I don't mean to brag nah
I was proud of my reputation
It had me feeling myself a little too much
Had my name throughout the hood
There go that 6'10" nigga with the good good
I thought by doing that I'd finally found the love I need
But in the back of my head
I kept hearing my grandmother's voice telling me
Baby please love yourself now
You ain't gon find what you're looking for like that
I thought that she was trippin'
Cuz I felt I had all I needed
I had people tell me they love me
Even if it was for a moment
But I knew better
I wasn't happy with myself, dang
Look at me tryna fit in
I said look at me tryna fit in
I should've learned my lesson then, but
Look at me tryna fit in
I said look at me tryna fit in
Take it from me
You ain't gotta prove yourself to nobody, nah
I know the world gotcha thinking that you can't
Be yourself and that be enough, but nah
You are more valuable than what you could ever imagine
So now
I need you to love yourself
I need you to love yourself
I need you to love yourself
I need you to love yourself
I need you to love yourself
I need you to love yourself
I need you to love yourself
I need you to love yourself
I need you to love yourself
I need you to love yourself
There's one thing that I'll never forget
My grandma always said
Don't be out there
Cuttin' up a fool
You know better than that
