Love Yourself (feat. Kanye West)

It's been a long ride

But I made it here with love

I made it here with love, love

Said I been up and down

And I been through it all

Took a while to know my heart

Oh, yes it did, yeah

Before a love like this, you go

Through the fire and valley lows

But if you just hold on

Please hold on, this love is strong

It'll save you

Please hold on

It'll save ya, save ya

Ooh-hoo

Truth can be the sweetest pain

It can mess up everything

It's the only way to know

I'm paying for it

I'm changing for it

Or, or, and it hurts

But I'll make it work

'Cause I'm no beginner

I'm a winner

Paid dues, I know my purpose

Thought they put my life on hold

But I knew something they didn't know

I know myself

Too much to ever fold

Dark clouds are moving past you

Oh, you gotta love yourself

If you really wanna be with someone else

You gotta feed yourself

Before you feed somebody else

You gotta stay open

And don't be foolish

'Cause everybody don't mean you well

You gotta love yourself

Before you love somebody else

Yeah, gotta love yourself

Uh, know what I'm saying?

I decided not use my color as a handicap

He a designer, artist, producer, and he rap

Never found virtue from patience

In a dark room just pacing

Precious time and just wasting

You do not know what we facing

I cannot be complacent

In my job, be courageous

'Nother kid just got shot

They can't find the assailant

Made it outta the basement

Made it outta the underground

From a town where you outta town

They might gun you down, blaow!

There goes another round, blaow!

There goes another round

Came from the Chi and, wow

Look what the fuck they found

A young legend, coming to shut the summer down

You need to talk to me like

You don't want your mother round

Oh, you gotta love yourself

If you really wanna be with someone else

You gotta feed yourself

Before you feed somebody else

You gotta stay open

And don't be foolish

'Cause everybody don't mean you well

You gotta love yourself

Before you love somebody else

I don't feel no one's time

Can't give restless in the soul

Hold your heart, the world is cold

Keep singing, don't ya

Stop praying, oh no

It will come to pass

Don't worry 'bout nothing

God knows that you're worth it

You deserve it

Can't nothing else hurt you

Thought they put my life on hold

But I knew something they didn't know

I know myself

Too much to ever fold

Dark clouds are moving past you

Oh, you gotta love yourself

If you really wanna be with someone else

You gotta feed yourself

Before you feed somebody else

You gotta stay open

And don't be foolish

'Cause everybody don't mean you well

You gotta love yourself

Before you love somebody else
