luv yourself first Lyrics

(C'mon, dawg, you know you can't do it alone)

The boy got too much time on his hands

So many thoughts but no plans

Doing what he know he can

'Cause he know that the good days will come back around

But what's he gonna do with himself now?

He know he gotta love himself first

He gotta love himself first

It was that struggle between the pink and the livin'

Individualism, he took pride in it

He always loved being part of the team

But there were times where it was so hard to see

He had to love himself first

He gotta love himself first

You know, he's right, nobody can do it by themselves

We all know what loneliness feels like, we all been through hell

You know you gotta find something to prove

But how do you find energy to make it through

If you don't love yourself first?

You gotta love yourself first

And we know 'bout recognizing the real and the fake

But you gotta have some self-respect to know what to take

Hard choices make it harder to breathe

Look in your heart and ask "What's best for me?"

You gotta love yourself first

You gotta love yourself first

You gotta love yourself first

You gotta love yourself first

This wintertime, I was tryna figure out who to be

Long walks while I searched for inner peace

I invested all of my energy into friends

I really thought that they could fix all my problems

But I had to stop and turn to the person who was actually tryna solve 'em

Tried to use my phone less, tried to change how I was always out less

And music really gave me an outlet for my soul

While I stressed about things I can't control

But my mama always said be the best version of yourself

My dad said don't listen to no one else

And when I started playing music, my uncle told me to follow my dreams

Wish he could see me now, rest in peace

And I ain't perfect, but I'm stronger

It's a beautiful thing to recognize

And it won't be much longer

'fore I have to search for answers in life

But if I love myself first

It won't be as hard as it seems

And if that's something I'm able to realize

Then I can open my eyes to what's truly key

'Cause there's some people who helped me feel content

With being unapologetically me

Now there's some thank-you's that I gotta perform like I rehearsed

But just know that I had to love myself first
