Lyrics for save

Gotta save myself Gotta save myself I love you dearly But I gotta save me Grade 7 kept the hood down Kept it on my scalp like a bonnet Self soothing turned to default presentation I wore it as a badge of honor The one thing they couldn't take from me Self deprecating tunes in my pocket I love the dirt, I kept the laces bummy I lose all my soul if I wash it Right? Do it make a choice authentic when you flaunt it? Surely this my honest disposition This is not no K-Pop Ebonics I mean it don't feel like nothing missing But couldn't pay me large enough to promise Do I use agency or not? Lighter question, do I got solace Alright, I got my answer I think Right now I'mma say yes But it flip flop by the day All the brief moments where I dig up my truth Be the ones I try to save Don't ask me shit about me I don't know him from a can of paint Where the shards of his essence fly to When his source of pride start to change? Let me know I'm asking on the behalf of a couple homies That's what I would say if I still had love for the cozy Gloom bring me back to Earth But I won't stay 'cause that shit blows me Never thought I'd see the day 'til I put my ears to the lips of Rosie Praise God Gotta save myself Gotta save myself I love you dearly But I gotta save me (I gotta save, I gotta save, I gotta save) Gotta save myself Gotta save myself I love you dearly But I gotta save me 'Cause who's saving me 'Cause who's saving me 'Cause who's saving me 'Cause who's saving me
