"self love"


Caught up in a web of deception, from this shit I done learned new lessons
So what you do, you keep on playing, you play on, player
From love to confusion you keep gaining but you keep losing
So what cha find comfort in your bosom, bosom, heart bosom, I'm the one
From the high note to the low pains you see destruction but {???}
Only voices you hear in your own head, and they all laugh ha ha ha ha ha yeah
From your denials to your delusions everything you gain you keep losing
What you not know it's an illusion, so what the hell you doing?

Here's looking at love, kid
Here's looking at love, kid
Here's looking at love, kid
Here's looking at you, here's looking at me
Here's looking at love, kid
Here's looking at love, kid
Here's looking at you, here's looking at me, here's looking at us, here's looking at we, ah shit
Here's looking at

You wake up every morning but baby boy you not sleep
Your taste food but you not eat
Your running fast but your not on your feet and your speed is there
You run on but you not know, you climb inside but you can't grow
Festering and festering til you fall to the floor
You screamed no but don't {????}
You work and work with no pay, you punch a clock but never end your day
You take vacation but you not play what we say by this time here my friends drink three
You cry cry revolution, but yet you want a solution
But you more content with being a pollution jump in the motion, and ask the notion

Here's looking at love, kid
Here's looking at love, kid
Here's looking at you, here's looking at me, here's looking at us, here's looking at we
Here's looking at love, kid
Looking at love, kid
Here's looking at you, here's looking at me, here's looking at us, here's looking at we

Self love, self preservation, Self love, self preservation...

L O V E love
L O V E love yourself

If you don't like your job, maybe you should quit, stop being a bitch, and love yourself
If you believe things can work out easily,
I'm telling you if you don't like what your mama's telling you
Then be a grown man and stand up on your own two and love yourself
And if your girlfriends is on welfare, then baby walk away, you don't have to care,
Love yourself

And if standing on the corner and pushing rocks up in your socks
Ain't what you want to do then knock that...love yourself

L O V E your
L O V E yourself

ad lib out

really? i know she had another album come out a couple of years ago, but her website didn't seem to be working (jaguarwright.com). there's not even much on okayplayer.com about her anymore...
