Yeah

Damn it′s been a minute

YeahUh

Temperature dropping

Bodies are dropping like flies

When are you dropping?

They anxious for a reply

Soon as I figure out what's making all these teardrops fall down

Is it the cold or just the pain from last night′s fallout?

Thoughts in my head, she and her friends got it dumb crowded

Lost in her intelligence, she's leaving me dumbfounded

In her mind, I remain destitute

With nothing left to do but right heavy tunes in this empty room

(Temperature dropping) I'm too fly to catch the flu

(When are you dropping?) The answer is very soon

Once I′m in a better mood

This can′t just be therapeutic for me when it was always meant for you

Self care

Ayo Clark, let's switch it up on ′em one time

Let's take ′em to church!

Yeah

E-C to the H-E, and nobody do it better, huh?

Aw yeah

Got Clark with me, got Young Rob with me

Hey

Uh, chopped the top off

Another goal on the bucket list is crossed off

The fit made its debut at the crosswalk

And I got all the juice to make all these cars honk

The former lost cause gettin' eyed by these hot broads

That′s how they say they itchin' for small talk

If they weren't asking to borrow the hot spot

The chances of hearing from ′em are off by a long shot

Dress for me, flex with ease, yes indeed, effortlessly

Ain′t tripping on it if it ain't meant for me

Ain′t tripping on it if it ain't meant for me

Oh I

Dress for me, flex with ease, yes indeed, effortlessly

Ain′t tripping on it if it ain't meant for me

Ain′t tripping on it if it ain't meant for me

Oh Lord

I told my guys, I'm blessed to see another day here

My demise is when niggas won′t know how to play fair

So when I die, make sure you remind everyone who didn′t ride

That they chose a side and to stay there

Escort shorty from the pulpit

If she at the funeral crying on some bullshit

She always said that she would split

How she gon' question what caused it all like she ain′t the culprit?

But fuck all that!

I'm alive and well

Got em′ screamin "Fuck!' that I′m alive

And well?

That's their own headache, so what?

No I'm not petty, I′m Echezona

I′ve been taking my ass to the gym

Lifting weights, you know what I'm saying?

Going in on the treadmill

The biggest critics stuck in the bed still!

You feel what I′m saying?

This shit for all the dreamers

This shit for all the believers, nigga

All from the heart, you dig?

Mattapan, Dorchester, stand the fuck up!

Whoo!

Used to hate hearing that I was cocky back in the day

I was fueling myself

You let these fuckboys eat

And they'll dessert you with nothing but scraps in the plate

It′s a slap in the face, gotta beat 'em to the punch

Put the youngins on game, so I′m treating 'em to lunch

Everyone ain't gon′ do it the way you done it

And if it is was right, that oughta tell you something

Fuck!

(That′s how you feel?)

(That's how you feel?)

You know how this shit go, man!

We gotta take it to the next one, let′s calm it down!

(Aight, let's calm it down!)

Yeah

Please don′t say it's over

Girl, it′s not over

No I'm not desperate, I'm just looking for closure

Phone call, text, or let′s just sit on the sofa

Let′s be grown and work this shit out

Please don't say it′s over

Girl, it's not over

Won′t start begging, I'ma keep my composure

Phone call, text, or let′s just sit on the sofa

Let's be grown and work this shit out

It's high time you look in the mirror, and you ask yourself

Truthfully, do you see you and me?

Don′t ever choose for me, what you want? Who you need?

Feel like you′re losing me

Let's call a spade a spade, these are the games you play

Russian Roulette with my heart on the day to day

Wouldn′t bring up the past, if you had made the change

If you gon' stay the same, can′t be afraid to skate

Please don't say it′s over

Girl, it's not over

No I'm not desperate, I′m just looking for closure

Phone call, text, or let′s just sit on the sofa

Let's be grown and work this shit out

Please don′t say it's over

Girl, it′s not over

Won't start begging, I′ma keep my composure

Phone call, text, or let's just sit on the sofa

Let's be grown and work this shit out

(That′s why you don′t put your eggs in one basket)

Right, right, right

But here's what I′m bout to do tho, peep

I'm finna get racks and spend it all on me

Yeah I′m in the mood to hit the mall all week

It took me a while but I can cop those jeans

Floss OD, y'all know me, aye

A bad bitch gon′ see what I'm worth

And curve 'em all to come and follow me

I′m at the crib, come and get this work

I′ll never get off, you know a boss don't sleep

Tell your R&B nigga with a six-pack

I ain′t with the chit-chat, we can really get that

Say the wrong words, it'll really get em bitch slapped

Please don′t forget that

And that goes for promoters tryna act big funny

Always tryna fuck around with my gig money

You want your head in a hole, or a hole in your head?

You better dig dummy!

E-C to the H-E, and nobody do it better, huh?

I'm finna get racks and spend it all on me

Yeah I′m in the mood to hit the mall all week

It took me a while but I can cop those jeans

Floss OD, y'all know me, aye

A bad bitch gon' see what I′m worth

And curve ′em all to come and follow me

I'm at the crib, come and get this work

I′ll never get off, you know a boss don't sleep

Stop telling me to cool it

When I need to blow some steam off, it offends me

Stop telling me I need to be delivered, that shit sends me

Prayed on by all these foes, it′ll put you in a frenzy

Niggas hear about my woes and dismiss em

Confusing 'em with the ones that Drake ran through the 6 with

Like they were never meant to tear me down

If you don′t give me space in this room to vent, I'ma air it out

That's how wild it gets

I′m tired of hearing it ain′t that deep from niggas standing in the shallow end

I hate a false ass narrative run by an odd ass character

Knowing the energy ain't the same when they turn off that camera

I hate that I don′t neglect the negligent, or ignore the ignorant

But oppose the opposite of the latter I mentioned, it

Doesn't make sense and I′m starting to see the deficit

I flush when you don't see what my worth is

Pissed off about being number two as a priority

And being told, "That′s just that shit that you're in"

These hands ain't washed at all

Everything fun and games in the head

Until I knock it off, muh′fucker!

Ain′t no deep breaths, ain't no hitting the reset, nigga!

Ain′t no de-stress, ain't no trying to pretend, nigga!

I said before, a boss don′t sleep

That's why I′m wide awake overthinking

Everything that's wrong on me, damn!

Whole lot of pressure to measure, it ain't nothing to treasure

Reality is on E, and they wanna call me extra

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera

Shit

Yeah

E-C to the H-E, and nobody do it better, huh?

Aye

This for all the times

When you know you don′t wanna do it

But you know that you gotta do it

This for all the times

When you know you don′t wanna do it

But you know that you gotta do it

You spoke of hitting that quota into existence

That's a quotable, nigga

All I sing is Chief Keef for them people around you

You should know the drill, nigga

Cut them off if need be, otherwise you′re planting that seed

Cut them off if need be, otherwise you're planting that seed

I hit Mill on the cellphone, I hit Fresh on the cellphone

On the FaceTime

I hit Dame on the cellphone, I hit Eddie on the cellphone

They the main guys

They would say the same thing if I was you

I won′t lie to you, baby

Worst thing you could do is take the backseat

To the problems driving you crazy, aye

(You better get up close)

And like, that′s what Self Care is about

You know, and shoutout to Eche for blacking on this

Um, you know, and and the story continues

I mean, this is a legend in the making and watch

You know, one day, I'll be able to tell my kids that

Um, I helped some poor homeless kid have studio time

For the first time

Self Care
