Kendrick Lamar - I Love Myself lyrics

[Verse 1: Eshon Burgundy] When I first wanted to rap I can't front man I fronted the facts Fabricated every single statement that I ever made At a young age said I'm running wit gats No body shots man I'm coming for hats I'm at 'cha melon Cool guy in real life but I'm a felon On tracks Then I set my pants on fire Liar liar singing to the choir let me fall back Then I fell on my knees and said oh Lord please a young fella need help Told me He was all I need to love everybody else including myself [Hook: Eshon Burgundy] I love myself And it's okay you feel a type of way Ain't nothin corny bout dat I love myself I'm a Christian rapper i ain't no actor man I'm really bout dat My lifestyle realer than it's ever been Even though you might be thinking it's irrelevant It's realer Fo' realer On my mama I ain't never been a k**a [Verse 2: Eshon Burgundy] In 06' I wanted them to trust us So I said I was the hope pheind hustler And then I dropped "A note for the hopeless" That was 09' when I got focused Just being honest if they looking they can find us cause we out here hiding in the open Been grindin but it ain't mere talent It's an honor I could ever be a spokesman coaching Players in the game of life Might look like a dealer but we ain't alike And I ain't better I ain't said I was a angel at all But I ain't finna stand here like I don't love myself [Hook] [Verse 3: Eshon Burgundy] I'm just trying to figure things out Has there ever been anybody to ever take the same route Qualified by the streets I was raised 8yrs young when I caught my first fade 5yrs young when I think I got saved Got my testimony on the block in PA Plenty things God used to bring about change I could load'em up and let'em go like a gun range I remember they was blowing kush in my face Told me I was broke go ahead and smoke Might as well wallow in ya sorrow Unless you hit the lotto go and hit the bottle Nope Couldn't make me sell crack either And I was trying to get chicken like the next man Heard a false preacher say I need a bankroll so I was praying for the green like a jets fan When I think back Bout where where I ain't yet I could've went and got it all like a blank check Could be mad that I ain't got a hundred J's All up on the stage wit a hundred chains But I am a good father to my kids Made a honest woman out of their mother And i love her like cake on the plate of a fat kid I'm real I ain't gone walk up on you like a undercover Came as I was to the throne of Heaven and made a shameless plug In the name of Christ Lord take my life I know ya pain is love Martin Luther King went to jail over 14 times and he ain't a thug So where you think I'm going huh?where the prophecy going or to hang at the club [Bridge: Kendrick Lamar] I've lost my head I must misread what the good book said It woes me be, it's a jungle inside I give myself again until the well runs dry, I [Outro: Eshon Burgundy] I love myself (x6) On my mama I ain't never been a k**a
