Love Myself
Look into the mirror and I'm too damn fly
A handsome motha woo shouldn't have to ask why
Yeah I'm feelin' myself, but I'm not conceited I just know myself
See I know my worth
Meant to be somethin' great even before my birth
But they told me I wouldn't be shit
Now my presence speak volumes and they can't forget
A tatted up Muslim and I'm flexin' with the deen
Fly mu'min and I keep the beard clean
A black man and they hate it but I refuse to lose
Speak the truth on the mic is what I choose
Want me to hate me just for who I am
Told me lies in school so I don't give a damn
Fuck your education, fuck your propaganda
And the system is rigged so you can keep your Miranda's
Yeah I love myself
No matter what they say gotta love myself
Yeah I love myself
Try to tear me down but I love myself
Better love yourself
No matter what they say gotta love yourself
Better love yourself
Try to tear you down gotta love yourself
See they try to make me the bad man
Brainwash the masses, that's part of the plan
Erase history, so they can rewrite the narrative
Gotta teach it to our kids man this shit is imperative
Be proud of your culture, no matter what they say
Fuck they colonization, we gon' do it our way
Speak your own language, make your ancestors proud
Freedom for the oppressed and we screamin' it loud
Gotta love yourself, gotta love your skin
Gotta love where you from, don't hold that in
No matter what they say, you come from something great
And they know the truth too so that's why they hate
From Africa to the Middle East back to Belize
Look at what they doin' now to the Congolese
The indigenous of America, we know your truth
That's why it's fuck the police and fuck Columbus too
Yeah I love myself
No matter what they say gotta love myself
Yeah I love myself
Try to tear me down but I love myself
Better love yourself
No matter what they say gotta love yourself
Better love yourself
Try to tear you down, gotta love yourself
This for the people in Tigray that ain't got no voice
This for the kids in Palestine that ain't got no choice
We see your hurt and we see your pain
But like it's 1804, we gon' break the chains
Make 'em free Haiti, where my reparations pay me
And they got the nerve to try to call me crazy
But you steal resources and enslave the people
Genocides on the children man your ass is evil
But all that do is make me love myself even more
Rich with these lyrics but I speak for the poor
Teach self-love for the way Allah made us
If it was up to you, you'll try to erase us
For the girls in Africa please love yourself
Beautiful black skin gotta love yourself
Don't let them break your spirit stay strong to the end
And as long as you do they could never win
Yeah I love myself
No matter what they say gotta love myself
Yeah I love myself
Try to tear me down but I love myself
Better love yourself
No matter what they say gotta love yourself
Better love yourself
Try to tear you down gotta love yourself
A handsome motha woo shouldn't have to ask why
Yeah I'm feelin' myself, but I'm not conceited I just know myself
See I know my worth
Meant to be somethin' great even before my birth
But they told me I wouldn't be shit
Now my presence speak volumes and they can't forget
A tatted up Muslim and I'm flexin' with the deen

Told me lies in school so I don't give a damn
Fuck your education, fuck your propaganda
And the system is rigged so you can keep your Miranda's
Yeah I love myself
No matter what they say gotta love myself
Yeah I love myself
Try to tear me down but I love myself
Better love yourself
No matter what they say gotta love yourself
Better love yourself
Try to tear you down gotta love yourself

No matter what they say gotta love yourself
Better love yourself
Try to tear you down gotta love yourself
