Self (feat. Criibaby)

from For Now by Casey Cope

lyrics

I made the mistake of giving too much I couldn’t get back
Crazy I couldn’t realize until it was in the past
I’d spent so much time at her house like 5 days a week
Cuz I was lonely by myself, alone I couldn’t find peace
I lost myself for a bit there, I ain’t frontin I speak
Honestly, i mean how else I’m gonna learn
Tryna stay focused on health
So I been getting back to my Self

Skrr skrr skrr skrr skrr skrr

(C)

I been getting back to my Self
I got me ion need nobody else
Do it all nigga what’s help
Got em singing woop-dee-woop but fuck 12 [ayyy finally said Fuck 12 in a song]

Nigga I toss the oop, it’s going in
My checks like my songs: the shit bounce
When it’s Young Cope & Big Sod’ that’s unfair [lol literally none of those words rhyme]


(V1)
Life goes on, the show goes on
I’m glad we’re still friends even when the fomo strong
Learn to love yourself before you get involved with someone
That turn a nigga into Jaqen H’ghar: No One

And I ain’t Faceless, I know what my name is
Don’t speak on it, don’t wanna mess with your fate bitch, it’s crazy
I had been dwelling on her with my clock on froze
But everything is only for a moment, my retrospect keep me on toes
Things are never as long as they seem, this much I know
So when it’s pleasant I bask, and when it’s bad I move on
Easier said than done, but life is too abbreviated to deal with sentences that so long

[Jae Riley]

Hit a rough patch I know
Hit a rough patch I know
The night is always darkest before the dawn

(C)

I been getting back to my Self
I got meeeee ion need nobody else
Do it all nigga whats help
AY
Got em singing woop-dee-woop but fuck 12
Nigga I toss the oop, it’s going in
My check like my songs: the shit bounce
When it’s Yung Cope & Big Sod’, that’s unfair
(coming for they ass like black parents with belts)


(V2)

This my favorite state
Bitch I love myself like the Bay love the Bay
I ain’t stacking up man I make what I make… I have what I have
I don’t need nobody bag, bitch I’m glad like Glad

Everything is momentary, leave the past int he past
And learn from it, I learn something every scratch
These cuts never too deep
Guess I was cut from a different cloth, my wardrobe sheik

A couple periods I could not have been more lonely
I take accountability, that’s on me
Build bridges out of debris….put water underneath
I be living life long, I feel it in my Palm, on my back is the team
I don’t practice my Chee: I embody it
My body is aligned with my mind with accuracy
….i am at peace
I hope I learn something as valuable as the love that I have for me




[I encourage you to close your eyes and listen here. The vocal edits go crazy]






[lmaoooo at the fact that the first line of the album is “I’m a bad bitch” and the last line is “Fuck 12”]
