I Love Myself (feat. Macklemore)

The best thing I could ever do for me is love myself

I was sitting on bed in Atlanta, Georgia

All alone in my emotions, full of fear

Gotta protect this precious life

I got the future by my side

Be the last time that I cry these tears again, and

No more drama, no more pain

No drama, no drama, no pain

I'm done makin' the same mistakes

Yeah, it's alright, I've been to the bottom

And I've seen the end

Won't live forever, be together till the end

And I've found the problem

It starts with me

I've figured out now what I want, got what I need

Ladies, help me sing it out now

Damn right, yeah, I love myself

I'm never gon' fall 'cause I love myself

Damn right, yeah, I love myself

And I can have it all, 'cause I love myself

If lovin' myself's a job

Am I doin' it?

Art's a weapon of resistance

Am I usin' it?

I got two girls

How do I get through to them?

Don't want the 'Gram tellin' my daughters what beauty is

Nah, I ain't raisin' princesses

I'm raisin' warriors

Self love is a fight

Keep some extra in the holster

My children, I'm tryna teach them to love themselves

But I can't expect it if I haven't accepted myself

See, if Dad isn't sober and Dad isn't honest

And Dad can't control it and Dad got these problems

If Dad is so selfish and Dad is lyin' to Momma

Then that is gonna have an impact on Dad's daughters

If I'm not right with me, how can I pass it on?

I got a path today, I know, and I cannot get off

And if I'm blinded by the light, then I can't walk with God

Don't wanna realize later He was with me all along

Lovin' me, bein' free

Bring me peace, leave these wings

Tryna fly to my peak

I reside eye-to-eye

The divine in my reach

As I strive and I seek

Live light, proceed

Love me for me

At ease

It's alright, I've been to the bottom

And I've seen the end

Won't live forever, be together till the end

And I've found the problem

It starts with me

I've figured out now what I want, got what I need

Ladies, help me sing it out now

Damn right, yeah, I love myself

I'm never gon' fall 'cause I love myself

Damn right, yeah, I love myself

And I can have it all, 'cause I love myself

I'm not trippin'

It's not vain

No, I'm not selfish (Nope)

No more holdin' back on me

I'm feelin' free

Only happy tears I'll cry

I swear this time I'll get it right

It's the best thing I could ever do for me

Hey, hey

No more drama, no more pain

No more, no more

I'm done makin' the same mistakes

Yeah, it's alright, I've been to the bottom

And I've seen the end

Won't live forever, be together till the end

And I've found the problem

It starts with me

I've figured out now what I want, got what I need

Ladies, help me sing it out now

Damn right, yeah, I love myself

I'm never gon' fall 'cause I love myself

Damn right, yeah, I love myself

And I can have it all, 'cause I love myself

Playin hopscotch with your life

Couple heartbreaks till you get it right

Sometimes you gotta fall

Sometimes you lose it all

That's when you get it right

Takin' shorcuts, get you cut short (Yup)

Never ever settle when you know your worth (Never)

You've gotta fill your soul

You've gotta take control

That's how I got it right

It's alright, I've been to the bottom

And I've seen the end

Won't live forever, be together till the end

And I've found the problem (I found the problem)

It starts with me (It starts with me)

I've figured out now what I want, got what I need

Ladies, help me sing it out now

Damn right, yeah, I love myself

I'm never gon' fall 'cause I love myself (Ay)

Damn right, yeah, I love myself

And I can have it all, 'cause I love myself

Damn right, yeah, I love myself

I'm never gon' fall 'cause I love myself

Damn right, yeah, I love myself

And I can have it all, 'cause I love myself
