​love yourself

[Intro]
Yuh, I've been doing it wrong this whole time. Need to love...

[Verse 1]
Yuh!
When I was younger, I wanted to be British
Have a cute accent and be known for being polite, to finish
I thought it was kiddish
But it was just the beginning, of self hate
Or self discriminate
I started to hate my body, when I was in the first grade
Thought about all the things I wanted to change
I was filled with rage
Why was I made this way?
In the 6th grade
Found out that I was half gay
I was afraid
Of what my folks might say, but

[Chorus]
I needed to know
Something then
That I was made perfect
I finally realized that enough was enough
I was going to learn self love

[Verse 2]
When I went to the doctors I was afraid
To get on the scale and see my weight
"Would he laugh in my face?"
But luckily, that was never the case
Another thing was my race
Heard my first slur when I was either 7 or 8
He called me a Negro
That bitch was an asshole
I was extremely hurt
Told myself I wouldn't speak that word
Discriminated because I was a girl
I didn't think it could get worse
I hoped it was the last time I hear it
But it was only the first
God, what reason for this curse, but

[Chorus]
I needed to know
Something then
That I was made perfect
I finally realized that enough was enough
I was going to learn self love

[Outro]
I took time to love myself
It was hard, and sometimes I still get those horrible thoughts in my head, but it's getting better
