K-Rino - Love Yourself lyrics

Live, learn and move ahead because
We've all been burned
There's only so much you can give
And not receive in return
Don't let it stress you out
View it as a bump in the road
Because it'll have you looking around the
House looking for something to load
I know the whole situation girl
I know what he done ran game
Lied and left you one deep with a son
You gave him everything and got
Nothing and that's a shame
Now looking at your own child's
Face brings back pain
Because when you see him
You see the man that did you so wrong
You get hard
Harder to feel like you can raise him alone
And I know you can
Hell you've been doing it this long
But packing all the weight for years
Makes it hard to be strong
You better take a little time
Out to gather yourself
When no laughter is felt just all
Tears that's bad for your health
Don't get caught up in emotion
Learn to hover above
You stop loving yourself
You won't be there for others to love

If you don't love you
You can't love no one else
How can you love someone
If you don't love yourself?

This fellow pumped up your head with
The words that he said
Not even 24 hours later he had you in bed
Said it was you and him forever
And that he was your man
To infatuated to understand his ultimate plan
Now you done broke ties with family
And got with him fast
He educated you on street hustles
To bring in cash
You was sceptical at first but
He sold you a dream
He hit you with the "if you loved me
You would do it" routine
Now you out there on the streets
And stripping up in the club
Selling your body and drugs and
This supposed to be love?
You looked for it up in the wrong
Place and went with the flow
Now you stay high because your
Self esteem is low
And every day you seem to fall
Off just a little bit more
Your appearance ain't even the same
As it was before
You gave your heart to a man who
Didn't have one of his own
And when he found somebody new to
Use he left you alone

Now you grew up in a
Household that wasn't too stable
Used to dream about leaving but
You just wasn't able a dysfunctional family
Momma was rarely around
With an abusive father peace of
Mind could rarely be found
It's real had being raised up in
A house full of fools
Somehow you never let that hold you
Back from going to school
Momma got a drug problem but she's in denial
And your own father molested you
Since you was a child
You done lost your innocence at
A real young age lost faith in all men and
Feeling pent up rage depressed and suicidal
Feeling heartless and cold
Blaming yourself for something that
You couldn't control
But don't ever feel like there's
Nothing that you could do
You can have a brand new life
But it starts with you
You could still make a good
Man a wonderful wife
Don't let life take you over
Just take over your life
