A minorAm
I done been through a whole lot
DmDm
Trial, tribulations, but I know God
A minorAm
Satan wanna put me in a bow-tie
DmDm
Praying that the holy water don't go dry, yeah yeah
A minorAm
As I look around me
DmDm
So many motherfuckers wanna down me
A minorAm
But ain't no nigga never drown me
       DmDm
In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me

       A minorAm
And I love myself
              DmDm
(The world is a ghetto with guns and picket signs)
     A minorAm
I love myself
              DmDm
(But it can do what it want whenever it wants and I don't mind)
     A minorAm
I love myself
                 DmDm
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
     A minorAm
I love my-self
          DmDm
(One day at the time, sun gone shine)


A minorAm
Everybody looking at you crazy (Crazy)
DmDm
What you gone do? (What you gone do?)
A minorAm
Lift up your head and keep moving (Keep moving)
DmDm
Or let the paranoia haunt you? (Haunt you)
     A minorAm
Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart
DmDm
On my sleeve let the runway start
  A minorAm
You know the miserable do love company
DmDm
What do you want from me and my scars?
FF
Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence
G+G
How many times our potential was anonymous?
FF
How many times the city making me promises?
E MajorE
So I promise this

       A minorAm
And I love myself
              DmDm
(The world is a ghetto with guns and picket signs)
     A minorAm
I love myself
              DmDm
(But it can do what it want whenever it wants and I don't mind)
     A minorAm
I love myself
                 DmDm
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
     A minorAm
I love my-self
          DmDm
(One day at the time, sun gone shine)


      A minorAm
They wanna say there's a war outside and a bomb in the street
   DmDm
And a gun in the hood and a mob of police
   A minorAm
And a rock on the corner and a line full of fiends
   DmDm
And a bottle full of lean and a model on a scheme, yup
A minorAm            DmDm
These days of frustration keep y'all on ducking rotation
A minorAm           DmDm
I duck these gold faces, post up fee-fi-fo-fum basis
FF
Dreams of realities peace
G+G
Blow steam in the face of the beast
FF
The sky can fall down, the wind can cry now
E MajorE
The strong in me, I still smile


       A minorAm
And I love myself
              DmDm
(The world is a ghetto with guns and picket signs)
     A minorAm
I love myself
              DmDm
(But it can do what it want whenever it wants and I don't mind)
     A minorAm
I love myself
                 DmDm
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
     A minorAm
I love my-self
          DmDm
(One day at the time, sun gone shine)


A minorAm       G+G
Walk my barefeet (Walk my barefeet)
D/F#D/F#         FF
Down, down valley peak (Down, down valley peak)
     A minorAm      G+G
I keep my fee-fi-fo-fum (Fee-fi-fo-fum)
     D/F#D/F#     FF

     A minorAm
I went to war last night
    D/F#D/F#
With an automatic weapon, don't nobody call a medic

I'm a do it 'til I get it right
     A minorAm
I went to war last night
     D/F#D/F#
I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent

Duckin' every other blessin', l can never see the message
   A minorAm
I can never take the lead, I can never bob and weave

For my nigga that be letting 'em annihilate me
    D/F#D/F#
And the sound is moving in a meteor speed

From a 100 to a billion lay my body in the street
    A minorAm
Keep my money in the ceiling let my mama know I'm free

Give my story to the children and the lesson they can read
    D/F#D/F#
And the glory to the feeling of the only unseen
                          A minorAm
Seen enough, make a motherfucker scream, "I love myself!"


            D/F#D/F#
I lost my head, I must've misread what the good book said
   A minorAm
Oh woes keep me, it's a jungle inside
  D/F#D/F#
Give myself again 'til the well runs dry
