Self Love

[Verse 1: Noetic J]
Let me make it simple for yah
Forget all that you know
Release the shield i'll lift it for yah
Heavy like bricks of gold
Release your grip just surrender
It's time to let go
The past doesn't last forever that is not how you grow
Siften through the weeds
Pineapple kush green
Melanated queens
Ancient DNA genes
Fresh coffee beans superfoods cacao cream
Now chasing dreams while my human side screams
Thoughts attack my cool behavior letting out streams
Of emotions hidden deep in my psyche
Unlikely I'll just do it like it's Nike
Meditating on the daily wisely

[Chorus: Noetic J]
There was a time I wasn't feeling the love
It was a crime I needed healing above
Over time when the push came to shove
I realized I was always enough
There was a time I wasn't feeling the love
It was a crime I needed healing above
Over time when the push came to shove
I realized I was always enough

[Verse 2: Black Seas}
The past don't last forever, silly teachers teach our sons
Ronnie fucked around at school students laughed and called him dumb
He grew up thinking its true so the dumb shit he would do
He perpetuated thoughts until his anthem turned to blues
They told Ronnie to get over it, but they don't see
Even on the greener grass all perception defeats
Take me for example see Black Seas he the greatest
Ain't no way that Nigga falling off when light skin make it
But really I failed first and fell in the dirt
While defending my pride, ego with lies cuz I hurt
Despite that, I'm always confident in my ability
When you see top and bottom top again you learn agility

[Chorus: Noetic J]
There was a time I wasn't feeling the love
It was a crime I needed healing above
Over time when the push came to shove
I realized I was always enough
There was a time I wasn't feeling the love
It was a crime I needed healing above
Over time when the push came to shove
I realized I was always enough

[Verse 3: Noetic J]
Ain't it funny how the truth hurts
Programmed from the beginning of birth
I recall the time I thought it was worth
Suppressing my gifts to fit in always finishing third
Now I see the reasons I was deterred
The demons I would exert
That weakened my love for this earth
Lesions full of pain that would hurt
I'de do it all again cause I comprehend what the lessons were worth
Life's takin on a new perspective
Liven from my heart proven to be effective
Imperfections I don't view defective
I love myself for who I am I've become receptive
To accepting my past cause I know that it don't last
Life has the tendency to go fast
Love the moments have a blast with the ones that you love
Before you know it it's all over and you never lived once
Yup
