Oh, what up ho? Oh, what up?
I said, oh, what up ho? Oh, what up?
I said, oh, what up ho? Oh, what up?
Well alright

I'm going through something with life
But pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron, that's some great advice

I'm going through something with life
But pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron, that's some great advice

Welcome to my diary, stressing got me gray hairs
Something to inspire me, rather than society's
Woes, let me go, let me shine a lil' bit love
I want diamonds too, Ronnie on Player's Club
I used to have a 9 to 5, fresh out of school that was '05
That bitch was racist, got me fired, ever since then, I had no job
Pushing in my momma van, stop for gas on Rosecrans
Trust me these niggas rushed me for something my cousin probably did
Guilty by association story of my life, nigga
You gon make me flip and split yo shit judge give me life, nigga
Pain since my grandma's death, Uncle killed at Louie's Burgers
Hold my tears I tried my best, let it go, drenched my pullover
Cycles of a starving artist tryna go beyond the margin, margin
Maintaining my modest modus as I dream
So while I go through all this, all this bullshit what you call it
Life itself I know it helps let me scroll through my Blackberry
"Hey what's up daddy?"

I'm going through something with life
But pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron, that's some great advice

I'm going through something with life
But pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron, that's some great advice

"So what'd you rush me out here for?
How was your day? Are you tipsy?"
"Hmm!"

All I need in this lifetime: Pussy and Patron
Give me that, once you give me that, once again it's on
Bitch I'm swagged up, hoes bopping when I'm off that screw
Coming down clean, tell your baby momma what it do?
Where your friends at? I got long dick, what it is?
Go on poke it out, situate your little positives
How I live? Big shot, on my grind, all ready
I'mma lay it down like a carpenter, when you let me

Give me that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
I can't get enough, if I offend you, blame it on the liquor babe
Give me that funk, that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff
I can't get enough, if I offend you

Uh, I wrote this song when Dave drove home
And caught that flat, in the mean T Flats
And it made me think, if we could blink
To change locations where we at
We often get lost in the alcohol bottle
In attempt to ignore pain, problem and sorrow
Just for a minute, then back to the bullshit
Your car note due and you 'bout to get evicted
Two drugs surely, Patron, pussy, make it feel alright
But once it's empty and the bitch leave, then it's back to life
You can't run from it, gotta run to it, nigga
The antidote wouldn't last and you knew it, nigga
But still you proceed to dive deep, ask what's her zodiac sign

I'm going through something in life
But pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron, that's some great advice

I'm going through something in life
But pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron, that's some great advice

Okay, welcome to my diary, hmm where should I begin?
Finna get a swisher and fill it with at least a gram
Crackers watch my every step, man I hate to work for them
One time I tried to work for me, but that shit didn't work for me
And here I am, stressing, questioning my direction man
What to do? Nothing's moving, traffic jam, wiggle through it
Pop the cork and take the fluid, bust that pussy open
Bust that pussy open, bust that pussy open
(Soul) Balls deep, ya dig? Retrieve, relief, ya dig?
Let's kill a bottle of tequila
And lie butt-naked telling the truth, would ya?
What's up? I had a long day and I really wanna fuck
Take a double shot to the face and forget about my whole day
Cause all I've been thinking the whole day

I'm going through something in life
But pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron, that's some great advice

I'm going through something in life
But pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron make you feel alright
Pussy and Patron, that's some great advice

All I need in this lifetime: Pussy and Patron
Give me that, once you give me that, once again it's on
Bitch I'm swagged up, hoes bopping when I'm off that screw
Coming down clean, tell your baby momma what it do?
Where your friends at? I got long dick, what it is?
Go on poke it out, situate your little positives
How I live? Big shot, on my grind, all ready
I'mma lay it down like a carpenter, when you let me

Lyrics (from Genius):

“[Intro]
I done been through a whole lot
Trial, tribulation, but I know God
Satan wanna put me in a bow tie
Pray that the holy water don't go dry
As I look around me
So many motherfuckers wanna down me
But an enemigo never drown me
In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me

[Chorus]
And I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
I love my... self
(One day at a time, sun gonna shine)

[Verse 1]
Everybody lookin' at you crazy (crazy!)
What you gonna do? (what you gonna do?)
Lift up your head and keep moving (keep moving)
Or let the paranoia haunt you (haunt you)?
Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart
On my sleeve, let the runway start
You know the miserable do love company
What do you want from me and my scars?
Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence
How many times my potential was anonymous?
How many times the city making me promises?
So I promise this

[Chorus]
I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
I love my... self
(One day at a time, sun gonna shine)

[Verse 2]
They wanna say it's a war outside and a bomb in the street
And a gun in the hood, and a mob of police
And a rock on the corner, and a line for the fiend
And a bottle full of lean, and a model on the scene, yup
These days of frustration keep y'all on tuck and rotation
I duck these cold faces, post up fi-fie-fo-fum basis
Dreams of reality's peace
Blow steam in the face of the beast
The sky could fall down, the wind could cry now
The strong in me, I still smile

[Chorus]
I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
I love my... self
(One day at a time, sun gonna shine)

[Bridge]
Walk my bare feet (walk my bare feet)
Down, down valley deep (down, down valley deep)
Fi-fie-fo-fum (fi-fie-fo-fum) (I love myself)
My heart undone (my heart undone) (I love myself)

[Hook]
The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs
(I love myself)
But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind
(I love myself)
He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide
(I love my... self)
One day at a time, sun gonna shine
(Hold up)

[Verse 3]
I went to war last night
With an automatic weapon, don't nobody call a medic
I'ma do it 'til I get it right
I went to war last night
I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent
Duckin' every other blessin', I can never see the message
I could never take the lead, I could never bob and weave
From a negative and letting them annihilate me
And it's evident I'm moving at a meteor speed
Finna run into a building, lay my body in the street
Keep my money in the ceiling, let my mama know I'm free
Give my story to the children and a lesson they can read
And the glory to the feeling of the holy unseen
Seen enough, make a motherfucker scream, "I love myself!"

[Outro]
I lost my head
I must've misread what the good book said
Oh, woes keep me, it's a jungle inside
Give myself again 'til the well runs dry”

the contrast between i and u is so surreal.
abundant joy and confidence in oneself juxtaposed to overwhelming grief and deliberation of suicidal thoughts. the entire album is amazing and the story being told carries well between every song, but these two songs in particular synergize so well.

If Kendrick can battle his suicidal thoughts and depression everyday ever since an adolescent and show us that we are not alone in this struggle and even make a song such as this for us and him to find something in it be it comfort, motivation, escape, inspiration, fighting spirit, whatever it is that this song means to you, when he screams I LOVE MYSELF! I truly feel it in the deepest parts of my psyche. This song and video hold a dear part to me and have gotten me through trying times and I am thankful for Kendrick releasing this.

Christopher Sheppard

Are you kidding me ?... This is next level artistry.... Black excellence at its finest. Kendrick is taking us back...understand this before the Jayz's and Kanye's.. before Tupac and big, before Nas. This is that motown. Marvin Gaye and Earth Wind & Fire feel good music. I appreciate Ronald isley for making an appearance... not to mention, he looks fantastic. . aging very well !! This is something our generation is not used too .. but this is truly a beautiful piece of work. Many have attempted but usually ended up selling out due to lack of support from today's music industry. This is the definition of soul, it's more than just a sound or skin color. I can't wait for the album.

This song helped me in my tough times. I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder 2 years back and when I'm down this song helps me a lot. I grew up listening to Eminem and Kendrick and words can't describe how great they are!!!

"The strong in me, I smile." Person takes back the decision of suicide. Man, this is such an emotional song. :( I don't know why this isn't much popular. Well, it's good anyways, not everyone can understand meaning of these songs. Nas, dre, kendrick, Em, Jay, Andre 3k, Rakim, 50 cent-they aren't just rappers they are so much more!!❤️❤️

@Unexpectedskull bruh he been falling off for like a decade

Shady

@C.T.M.N his last 2 albums weren't probably good as Kendricks but it's not just his white fan base he has a lot of Asian and fans from other countries too. Besides not one Kendrick album comes close to prime Eminem . The dudes is in his 40s now and to still put out albums like mtbm and kamikaze should be appreciated. Keeping up a fan base with which helps you stay with the top for more than 2 decades is quite amazing. As an Asian I can tell you that most people wouldn't know the names you mentioned in your previous comment but Eminem is household.

C.T.M.N

@Shady i'm not saying eminem cant do rap because hes white im saying that the only reason his last three albums did good is because of his mainstream name from his first three and because he has the support of white america. Do you really think that MTBMB is better then To pimp a butterfly, MBDTF, and good kid mad city? or is it because of his large white fanbase overating his album?

Shady

@C.T.M.N that's what I'm saying he got that succes while he was black. And pop is predominantly white.

A moment of silence to the extensive list of casualties the war on drugs has caused. None of us are free from this epidemic. RIP to the thirty lost souls I’ve lost in my life before thirty. Still here. Cuz I had to learn to love myself despite it all.

never appreciated this song when it first came out but now that a struggle with depression and low self esteem singing along to this almost had me in tears. I put myself down everyday but this song helps me understand that i should love myself and everyone of my flaws because deep inside I'm a good person and thats the only thing that matters and screw what everyone thinks.

chillhomie7 The thing I find with Kendrick, at least when I first heard him, was that his lyrics aren't that easy to follow. they're so deep that you need to listen twice or thrice to understand him

Jasmine

I feel the same way. When you suffer with depression and have low self-esteem issues you are your own worst enemy. I feel like I'm harshest on myself than friends or strangers would be. I also try to remind myself that being a good person is enough but yet I still beat myself up about everything. It's really hard to think of positive things when you are in that state of mind. That's why I really appreciate this song. It makes me feel less alone that Kendrick himself and I'm sure millions of other people are feeling the same and trying to live everyday with that frame of mind. Love your pic btw. Recess was awesome.
