Love Yourself (Feat. Kanye West) - Mary J. Blige
It's been a long way
but I made it here with love
I made it here with love love
Said I've been and up
and down
and I've been through it all
Took a while to know my heart
Oh yes it did yeah
Before love like this you go
Through the fire and valley lows
But if you just hold on
Please hold on
'cause love is strong
it'll save yah
Oh please hold on
it'll save yah save yah

Truth can be the sweetest pain
It can mess up everything
It's the only way you know
I'm payin' for it
I'm changin' for it
Oh oh 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'd put my life on hold
But I knew somethin'
they didn't know
I know myself
too much to ever fold
Dark clouds are movin' 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 you know what I'm sayin'
I decided not to use my color
as a handicap
He a designer artist
producer and he rap
Never found virtue from patience
In a dark room just pacin'
Precious time is just wastin'
You do not know what we facin'
I cannot be complacent
In my job be courageous
Another kid just got shot
They can't find the assailant
Made it out of the basement
Made it out of the underground
From a time 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
comin' to shut
the summer down
You need to talk to me
like you don't
when your mother 'round
Oh you gotta love yourself
oh yeah
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
You gotta love yourself
Before you love somebody else
I don't feel no one's time
Can't get restless in the soul
Hold your heart the world is cold
Keep singin'
don't you stop prayin' woman
Yeah it will come to pass
Don't worry 'bout nothin'
God knows that you're worth it
You deserve it
can't nothin' else hurt you
Thought they'd put my life on hold
But I knew somethin'
they didn't know
I know myself
too much to ever fold
Dark clouds are movin' past you
Oh you gotta love yourself
oh yeah
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
You gotta love yourself
Before you love somebody else
Somebody else
