Staying To Myself Lyrics

J, you tripping

Nah man, I'm good man

Just gotta take my meds, you know?, I'll be alright

Shit, don't let the meds get to your head

Ahh come on man, you know I need 'em bro

Whatever gets you to bed

Ha, ha

Solitary's in my blood like a body full of drugs

In position to be a loner, screw a posse of thugs

I got nobody I can trust, I'm only trusting me

I locked my heart inside the safe, no one can touch the keys 'if it isn't me

On alert from the phony snakes

Staying loyal to yourself is the only fate

I got my mind on the grind and my eyes on the prize

Keeping my guard up from girls and guys in disguise

My head's in the books, writing songs and shit

Learning up from mistakes, all my wrongs and the tricks

Been alone all along, shit 'I gotta admit

That people's words, people's promises, they don't mean shit

If their actions are the opposite and full of lies

That gut feeling grows huge like being full from an appetite

Staying in your own circle is always good for health

So that way no one can hurt you man, I'm staying to myself

Staying to myself, (Staying to myself)

I'm staying to myself, (And I don't need no help)

Fool, I'm staying to myself, (That's always been how I felt)

Ya, I'm staying to myself

Myself

Staying to myself

Staying to myself

Staying to myself, (Self)

The dark was comfy and a way for me to just escape

From this complicated life to relax my metal state

Faith was gone when I prayed, staying strong wasn't the case

It was the fact that I was letting people lie to my face

I was disgusted, betrayed from the niggas 'I trusted

Congested from thinking I would be saved from this love shit

I wasn't aware of all the signs and flags

What I regret the most is wasting my time and cash

On who didn't deserve it, it made me feel worthless

All the rejection and pain made me a different person

It made me angry and cold enough to keep my distance

It stopped me from feeling pain when my brain's reminiscing

Ha, (J you tripping), nah, I'm only listening to my instincts

That feeling that would give me the chills and

Would warn me back and forth but I was so in denial

It took a while to save myself, but I did and now I'm just

Staying to myself, (Staying to myself)

I'm staying to myself, (And I don't need no help)

Fool, I'm staying to myself, (That's always been how I felt)

Ya, I'm staying to myself

Myself

Staying to myself

Staying to myself

Staying to myself, (Self)

Back to my point of being so, so, so in denial

Thinking they wouldn't do me dirty and it took me a while

To forgive who hurt me, forgave 'em but I'll never forget

Had to force myself to eject all the cold regrets

It was a mess to clean up and it gave me cold feet

But it helped me reincarnate the old me

It took them corny situations for me to realize

That it's best to be alone and I only got myself

I would never try to love myself first

Loving somebody else first is why I always got hurt

It made me question my worth and who I was, as a man

I looked myself in the mirror and said "damn man"

"What happened to you?, where's your pride? and your self respect?"

Those kind of questions made me meditate and self reflect

Had to put myself in check and say to myself

That I'm better off alone, so I'm staying to myself

Staying to myself, (Staying to myself)

I'm staying to myself, (And I don't need no help)

Fool, I'm staying to myself, (That's always been how I felt)

Ya, I'm staying to myself

Myself

Staying to myself

Staying to myself

Staying to myself, (Self)
