Myself

entry picture

I gave my all into this dhit 

I put everything I had into this bitch 

Just to get chewed up

Left dying,crying, lying in a ditch 

Painful eyes from crying 

Lonely nights, I was dying 

For all the times, I was coming up and could only afford to feed you; and not myself 

This for all the ones I left, even when u couldn’t let me be myself 

I put myself on the shelf just so u could step 

So how could I be for 

Self 

I’m the one who showed real love, I was never for myself 

I put my pride to the side, like I couldn’t do this myself 

I started putting myself in situations, where I needed your help 

Just for you to become a ego maniac 

And let me die when all I needed was your help 

Built myself from the ground 

This go around I won’t look for help 

I’ll take every step 

Step by step 

All by myself
