MAVI - Self Love lyrics
[MAVI - Self Love lyrics]
(Just because I love you) Yeah, yeah
(Just because I love you) Ayy
Peel in my second whip
Stealing, putting second hand kills
In my residence
Healed all my brethren with a seal
We can't let you in medicine
I put the effort in to still burn that effigy
Odorous, I'm sober
Just as lil' as they letting me
Mama, wipe your tears, I'm fighting titans
Can't invite you here
Poetic license veering from the mic
My chest too tight to steer
Chess lessons, bloodletting
Flood when the night is clear
I ain't give a fuck 'til my
Lungs had to fight for air
Glaring, staring numb
Therapist had a light to spare
Snatched me by the eye
Said I'ma fight whether I like or not
And she told me reasons why
But that's the private part
Burnt the midnight lighter
Killed the drive in me to tie the knot
My game stop, but if I name-dropped you
You still got my heart driving off
Squeezing off the E-brake these days
I can't talk to God just for my knees' sake
Long conversations to be had
Wrong places, wrong times
And strong patience I must add
Soul weighted
Don't mistake expatiations for some sadness
Strong face, a long race
I'm unafraid to come in last
Quarter tank and ounce of
Gas and I'm driving
And it's just because I (Love you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Just because I love you)
Look, I'm back at it
Glad bags and flatbacks, A packrat
A crass habit crash flashing, scratch that
I'm past rapping
I'ma show off in a scar competition
Flaunting close calls when you cook
You can't regress back to the store-bought
I hope you keepin' me in mind
I hope you shakin'
I hope you still analyzin' hard
As I made you as hard as I make it love that
I'm armed with broad and it's brazen
Arguing with mom 'cause I'm always
Gone when I stay here yeah, she said
"It's just because I love you
That I see you out here poisoning
Yourself and want it for you
And I love you better than I love myself
My fruit is spoiled
And it's not a game, I put it in your name
I kinda told you" and I nodded
I took it to the bank and I deposit
And I dropped it, I looked
Into the mirror said, "Omavi
You coarser and you closer to
The rhythm that's inside
And I warped you in the interest of design
It's just because I love you"
(Just because I love you)
(Just because I love you)
(Don't go breaking my heart)
(Just because I love you)
(Just because I love you)
(Don't go breaking my heart)
Ayy, ayy (That I will be true)
(That I will be true) Ayy
Clasp the windows to my soul
Smoke thicken, grab my mental by the throat
Mind sifting, tides shift
It's still cement around my toes
Saran wrap around my pack
I can't trust get hand to hand
Served with a hand behind my back
They prayed for us
Ain't heard the answer but my
Glance is in the stash
It's growing handsome by the stack
I self-aggrandized in the past
But now the sun talking
Not sure of where I'm going
But I'm blunt-walking in life
Or in this hood
So keep a look for 911 callers
I fund loss 'cause I'm from loss
If you gut me, then no love lost
You spun me into crumbles
Fingers numbing from the blood loss
I've endured
The moral of my story is I'm impure
The horror in my story is I've been
Through it and I still do it
And my pencil is in earnest
The difference 'tween you hearing the
New records from my service
The medicine I'm burning turned my
Breath into a furnace whole face hot
Shoulders hold weight 'til I break
Pace and can't stop so, baby
I could change your life if you let me
Tryna eat, Ain't really crave a bite since
Gained insight from Desi
So I stay inside away from light
Hoping that your prayers reach
Loathing that I can't breathe
Croaking when I can't speak
Was open with my grand scheme
You was either with me or in my way
Plow through standees
We sprouting, now we plant seeds
You plant love, love will grow
You plant fear, fear will grow
If you planted me, then me would grow
But I was branded negro
I got slighted before, relegated to pre-show
I started with wine, then to the clear
Then to the Nino and then to Everclear and
Never steering without pre-rolls
And I just had the presets to preceptor me
Bro i bleed presence and preach
Lessons, all for free, Too
And I offer free smoke to
Any nigga behind a #MeToo
'Cause to my niggas, we ain't
Free until she free, Too
And tell my sisters, we ain't
Free until they free, too, Yeah
Ayy, to my niggas, we ain't
Free until she free, Too
And tell my sisters, we ain't
Free until they free, Too
Ayy, to my niggas, we ain't
Free until she free, Too
'Til they free, too (That I will be true)
(That I will be true, That I will be)
(Just because I love you) Ayy
Peel in my second whip
