Love Yourself

(アルバム： Strength Of A Woman - 2017)

[Mary J. Blige:]
It's been a long ride, 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 has, yeah
Before a love like this, you go
Through the fire and valley lows
But if you just hold on
Please hold on, this love is strong, it'll save you
Oh, please hold on, it'll save you, save you

Truth can be the sweetest pain
It can mess up everything
It's the only way you know
I'm paying for it, I'm changing 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 something they didn't know
I know myself too much to ever fold
Dark clouds are moving 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

[Kanye West:]
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 pacing
Precious time is just wasting
You do not know what we facing
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 this Chi and wow
Look what the fuck they found
A young legend, coming to shut the summer down
You need to talk to me like you don't bring your mother 'round

[Mary J. Blige:]
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 ways tired
Can't get restless in my soul
Hold your heart, the world is cold
Keep singing, don't you stop praying, woman
Yeah, it will come to pass
Don't worry 'bout nothing
God knows that you're worth it
You deserve it, can't nothing else hurt you

Thought they'd put my life on hold
But I knew something they didn't know
I know myself too much to ever fold
Dark clouds are moving 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)
