| Friends sayin' let’s go
|
| But they only want your gold
|
| Homie, better save yourself, yeah
|
| Drugs made you come close
|
| Yeah, it almost took your soul
|
| Yeah, you better save yourself
|
| Fame got my head swole
|
| Yeah, belly got a hole
|
| Guess I gotta save myself
|
| Money taking control
|
| This is all a nigga knows
|
| Damn, I better save myself
|
| Yeah, damn, I better save myself
|
| Damn, you better save yourself
|
| Like it’s your last breath
|
| This life is filled with landmines, could be your last steps
|
| That makes me stomp even harder on this terrain I’m given
|
| Don’t get distracted by getting paid and not pay attention
|
| And then play the victim
|
| I played the role, acting extra like B-roll
|
| Now I feed the soul 'stead of feeding my ego
|
| I still got an edge, still an upper hand, no opposition
|
| I find that the only person to fear is that person that’s in the mirror,
|
| that’s my only competition
|
| Young black with no faith in the system
|
| Hope that resonated for those that’s feeling less than
|
| That’s screaming for help but screams falling on deaf ears
|
| Just believe what I’m saying
|
| These words’ll strike a chord like Stevie’s piano playing now
|

|
| Yeah, damn, I better save myself
|
| Damn, you better save yourself
|
| Real friends keep you grounded so you can elevate
|
| The type that rather stay workin' instead of celebrating
|
| Premature with champagne glasses, yeah, we’d rather wait
|
| Until some more commas and zeros are added by two
|
| What some call crazy, I’m like, «It's cool»
|
| Cut from a different cloth, came from a different school of thought
|
| Play by some different rules
|
| That’s prepared me for what’s yet to come (Yeah)
|
| Handle stress better than some, maybe 'cause where I’m from
|
| They try to turn your truth to something reckless
|
| Unpopular opinions, no political correctness
|
| Never expect me to choose sides
|
| We just tryna choose something effective
|
| Yeah, damn, I better save myself
|
| Damn, you better save yourself
|
| Yeah, damn, I better save myself |
