Love Me For Me
Embracing Imperfections: Love Beyond Mistakes
Lyrics
I remember days when I used to be up on the block and I see you from afar
I recall the times when I used to be on the block and noticed you from a distance.
I was still trying to get my shit together I was walking around, I ain't have a car
During a period of trying to improve my life, I was walking around without a car.
Knowing I wasn't shit but everybody still looking at me like a star
Despite feeling inadequate, people still saw me as someone special.
I know when I met you that I really wanted you But I know I had to play my part
When I met you, I desired you, but I understood the need to play my role.
But I wasn't fine with minimum wage I was up in the streets getting paid
I wasn't content with minimum wage, so I engaged in street activities to earn.
I was still moving around state to state hustling while I still ripped the state
I moved from state to state, hustling while representing my home state.
I am so sorry I was stuck in my ways I was stuck in my ways
I apologize for being stuck in my old habits and mindset.
What more can I say? What more can I say
Expressing regret and acknowledging the need for change.
I was putting on love but it came out as hate
Despite intending to show love, it was often perceived as hate.
I was full of them drugs I was trying to escape
I was heavily involved with drugs, trying to escape from reality.
Yeah, I'm really in love But I can't be fake
Though genuinely in love, I couldn't pretend to be someone I'm not.
Love me for who I was not the shit that I ain't
Asking to be loved for the person I used to be, not for my current shortcomings.
I was putting on love but it came out as hate
Reiterating the struggle of expressing love but it being misunderstood as hate.
I was full of them drugs I was trying to escape
Continuing to battle with drug issues while attempting to break free.
Yeah, I'm really in love But I can't be fake
Despite being genuinely in love, authenticity is crucial.
Love me for who I was not the shit that I ain't
Repeating the plea to be loved for the past version of oneself.
You was there when I was fucked up Looking crazy with a frown on
You were there during difficult times when I appeared disheveled.
I always knew, girl, that you'd be the one to count on me
Confident that you would be the one to rely on in our journey to success.
At the top of me and you baby, girl, we gon' be looking down on me
Imagining a future where we are successful and looking down on our past struggles.
We gon' get to them chips, we gon' stack up this shit until the bread miles long
Envisioning financial success and stability in our relationship.
I was just ignorant, I wasn't getting it I was too fucked up and she wasn't feeling it
Admitting ignorance and past mistakes while dealing with personal issues.
I'm a real nigga and I can admit that shit when I was wrong and I shouldn't have did that shit
Acknowledging faults and expressing regret for inappropriate actions.
It should've been different, but I wasn't listening I was too focused on drinking and kicking it
Recognizing a need for change but being distracted by drinking and socializing.
Seen on her face that she wasn't digging it All of the time, man, I really miss the shit
Mourning the loss of a connection due to personal shortcomings.
Oh
Repeating a vocal expression, possibly emphasizing a sense of realization or regret.
Oh
-Oh
-I was putting on love but it came out as hate
Repeating the theme of struggling to express love genuinely and asking for acceptance.
I was full of them drugs I was trying to escape
-Yeah, I'm really in love but I can't be fake
-Love me for who I was not the shit that I ain't
-I was putting on love but it came out as hate
Reiterating the desire to be loved for one's past self, not for current shortcomings.
I was full of them drugs I was trying to escape
-Yeah, I'm really in love but I can't be fake
-Love me for who I was not the shit that I ain't
