Finding Harmony: Thirteen Stripes' Journey from Despair to Self-Love
Lyrics
Bae you got me running
Bae, you have me running.
From your love because I came from nothing
I'm avoiding your love because I came from a difficult background.
I went from things that never started
I transitioned from situations that never began.
To being a man that was so broken hearted
Now, I am a man who is deeply heartbroken.
So baby why can't you just be patient
Why can't you be patient? Your actions make my heart race.
You're walking tight ropes and now my heart is racing
You are navigating challenges, and it's affecting me emotionally.
Cuz girl you need balance
Girl, you need balance.
Baby I can't compare you to anybody I swear
I can't compare you to anybody; you're unique.
Cuz girl you need balance
Reiteration: Girl, you need balance.
I'm telling you this because I love you baby
I say this because I love you, baby.
Don't you know you're my perfect lady
You are my perfect lady, don't you know?
All these girls know they do me crazy
Other girls may drive me crazy, but you're special.
Imma need you to slow it down
I need you to slow down.
I look around my room and the walls are empty
I'm in a room with empty walls, feeling a sense of loss.
In my mind I'm so consumed and my thoughts are plenty
I am mentally consumed, and my thoughts are overwhelming.
You would find me on my knees asking why God has sent me on this Earth
I find myself questioning why God placed me on this Earth.
I'm going berserk everyday I'm putting the work
I'm going crazy, working hard every day.
I used to think about suicide all the time
I used to contemplate suicide frequently.
Then put the pen to the paper and wrote my mind in the lines
I turned to writing as an outlet, expressing my thoughts on paper.
And now my music is speaking for itself it gives you health and wealth
Now, my music speaks for itself, bringing health and wealth.
Like your own daddy whipping you with the belt
Similar to a stern parent, my music can be tough but beneficial.
I could have been so sad from all this pain that I felt but then I meditate
I could have succumbed to sadness, but meditation saved me.
My God brought me out of this Hell
My faith brought me out of a metaphorical hell.
You need to love yourself first before you love another
Self-love is crucial before loving others, echoing maternal advice.
Just like your mother but don't expect to get it from brothers
Don't expect the same love from siblings.
Bae you got me running
Reiteration: Bae, you have me running.
From your love because I came from nothing
I'm avoiding your love due to my challenging background.
I went from things that never started
Reiteration: I transitioned from situations that never began.
To being a man that was so broken hearted
Reiteration: Now, I am a man who is deeply heartbroken.
So baby why can't you just be patient
Reiteration: Why can't you be patient? Your actions make my heart race.
You're walking tight ropes and now my heart is racing
Reiteration: You are navigating challenges, and it's affecting me emotionally.
Cuz girl you need balance
Reiteration: Girl, you need balance.
Baby I can't compare you to anybody I swear
Reiteration: I can't compare you to anybody; you're unique.
Cuz girl you need balance
Reiteration: Girl, you need balance.
I'm telling you this because I love you baby
Reiteration: I say this because I love you, baby.
Don't you know you're my perfect lady
Reiteration: You are my perfect lady, don't you know?
All these girls know they do me crazy
Reiteration: Other girls may drive me crazy, but you're special.
Imma need you to slow it down
Reiteration: I need you to slow down.
