Myself – English Lyrics

• By: August Alsina

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You're the best Mango

Tyler Javeon

Ayy yo, Blue

Allow me to introduce myself

I'm just a young nigga from the boot myself

I'm livin', but I done been through too much hell

Ain't no surprise that I never tried to shoot myself

I stayed real and I ain't tryna fool myself

Navigated out the jungle, didn't lose myself

Never forgot what I had to do myself

When I only had me, myself and I, do or die

I did and lived, been with the shits

I ain't have a fuck to give, busy hittin' licks

I took some L's, I took 'em well

Had the world shootin' at me but it fuckin' missed

All my stripes earned, now it's my turn

Set the world on fire, let every bridge burn

You keep it real with me, I keep it realer

But if you fake and in my face, that's why you unfamiliar

I thought I told y'all niggas I don't know y'all niggas

Where I'm from, we stack and pray to dodge the graveyard nigga

'Round the way, my nigga, it ain't safe, my nigga

I know four or five hitters that'll lay y'all niggas (down, down, down)

You won't make a sound (sound, sound)

Put you on a T-shirt and put you in the ground

And I fuck on yo' main bitch who used to hold you down

Thought you had me figured out

Really you don't know me now

You don't know me now

Allow me to introduce myself

I'm just a young nigga from the boot myself

I'm livin', but I done been through too much hell

Ain't no surprise that I never tried to shoot myself

I stayed real and I ain't tryna fool myself

Navigated out the jungle, didn't lose myself

Never forgot what I had to do myself

When I only had me, myself and I, do or die
