Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 take control, this is all a **** knows
Damn, I better save myself
Damn, I better save myself
Yeah, you better save yourself
[Verse 2]
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 gettin' paid and not pay attention
And then play the victim I played the role, actin' extra like B-Roll
Now I feed the soul 'stead of feedin' 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 feelin' less than
That's screamin' for help but screams fallin' on deaf ears
Just believe what I'm sayin'
These words'll strike a chord
Like Stevie's piano playin' now
[Verse 3]
Friends sayin' let's go, but they only want your gold
Homie, better save yourself
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 take control, this is all a **** knows
Damn, I better save myself
Yeah, damn, I better save myself
Yeah, you better save yourself
[Verse 4]
Real friends keep you grounded so you can elevate
The type that rather stay workin' instead of celebratin'
Premature with champagne glasses, yeah, we'd rather wait
Until some more commas and zeroes 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 (Yeah)
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 somethin' reckless
Unpopular opinions, no political correctness
Never expect me to choose sides
We just tryna choose somethin' effective
[Verse 5]
Yeah, damn, I better save myself
Damn, you better save yourself
Yeah, damn, I better save myself
