ZVK, Lou May - Self Love Lyrics

Take it in vain
Take it lightly
Sometimes I’m not certain if I like me
It’s likely, cos out of the stars I’m a Pisces
I don’t know, it might be
All I know is I’ve been
Killing off these demons
And most guys don’t express their feelings
We’re taught to suck it up
Now insecurities need healing
But self love never seemed that easy you know how it was.
They were talking on your name tryna change you
Using the wrong colours tryna paint you
You know the one reason to make no mistakes is God made no mistakes
When He made you
They only hate you cos they ain’t you
Spreading rumours just block ‘em out cos they ain’t true
And I know it caused suffering
But that’s a L if you let ‘em in, saying
How do you expect somebody to love you if you don’t even love yourself?
How do you expect somebody to love you if you don’t even love yourself?
Still feel like a caged bird
Still believe in the wrong words
Still liking and sharing
But deep down you still might be comparing
You don’t love what’s on the outside
But love starts on the inside, feels like
You don’t deserve it but
Open your heart and realise you’re worth it
No need to hide,
You don’t fit in, cos you’re one of a kind
Only one you, a custom design
This little light of mine, I’mma let it
Shine
Let it shine
How do you expect somebody to love you if you don’t even love yourself?
How do you expect somebody to love you if you don’t even love yourself?
Gotta step back, gotta make time
Not loving yourself is a hate crime
Now the caged bird found the key
No chains on my heart now I’m free
I don’t care about the crowd
I’m too busy adjusting the crown
Another reason to celebrate
Now I self care as I elevate
I light candles and peel off face masks for the melanin
I’m a clear skinned south side gentleman
Not to mention, building up minds with intelligence
Got me self love two stepping brudda
No disrespect but I had to let the love manifest
I’m the seventh letter of the alphabet
I guess in some respect I find it comforting
But I’m still wondering, saying
How do you expect somebody to love you if you don’t even love yourself?
How do you expect somebody to love you if you don’t even love yourself?
It ain't hard to see
Look in the mirror that's a masterpiece
I call it self love
Love, love, love
It ain't hard to see
Look in the mirror you're a masterpiece
Call it self love
Self love
Love

Take it in vain
Take it lightly
Sometimes I’m not certain if I like me
It’s likely, cos out of the stars I’m a Pisces
I don’t know, it might be
All I know is I’ve been
Killing off these demons
And most guys don’t express their feelings
We’re taught to suck it up
Now insecurities need healing
But self love never seemed that easy you know how it was.

You know the one reason to make no mistakes is God made no mistakes

How do you expect somebody to love you if you don’t even love yourself?
