Save Yourself - Black Milk

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 taking control

This is all a nigga knows

Damn, I better save myself

Yeah, damn, I better save myself

Damn, you better save yourself

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 getting paid and not pay attention

And then play the victim

I played the role, acting extra like B-roll

Now I feed the soul 'stead of feeding 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 feeling less than

That’s screaming for help but screams falling on deaf ears

Just believe what I’m saying

These words’ll strike a chord like Stevie’s piano playing now

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 taking control

This is all a nigga knows

Damn, I better save myself

Yeah, damn, I better save myself

Damn, you better save yourself

Real friends keep you grounded so you can elevate

The type that rather stay workin' instead of celebrating

Premature with champagne glasses, yeah, we’d rather wait

Until some more commas and zeros 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

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 something reckless

Unpopular opinions, no political correctness

Never expect me to choose sides

We just tryna choose something effective

Yeah, damn, I better save myself

Damn, you better save yourself

Yeah, damn, I better save myself
