Akira The Don feat. Kamal Ravikant - I Vow to Love Myself Lyrics

Lyrics I Vow to Love Myself - Akira The Don feat. Kamal Ravikant

You know what's funny?

Never used to think about the fact about loving myself

I just wasn't that guy

The thing about loving myself

Came when I hit rock bottom

And I really hit bottom and it was a desperate attempt to save myself

I really fundamentally believe in the power of commitment

And making commitments to yourself, you gotta keep them

And in this desperate moment, I made this vow to myself

I was at bottom

My company had fallen apart, I lost everything

I was really sick, I was miserable and I was depressed

Onе morning or one night

It was dark and I just got out of my bed

I can't do this anymorе

I can't do this anymore

I'm either gonna get out of this

Or die trying

And I walked over to my journal, grabbed my pen and I wrote

I knew I had to make a vow to myself to get out of this

Didn't know what

And I just sat down and I wrote

It was freehand

I vow to love myself

Where that came from? I had no idea

I still don't

It was a pure, primal vow

It came from a deep place of, literally, I was trying to save myself

And then I realized that

What I'd done I was like, okay, I don't know how to do that

I gotta figure it out 'cause I made a commitment to myself

And a vow to yourself is a sacred act

You do that, you keep it, and life will change

And I had to figure out how to do it

I knew I had to work on my internal self

It wasn't about taking bubble baths

It's an internal thing, it's a mindset, it's a belief

It's a rock solid belief where your thoughts

And your feelings and your emotions rise from

If they rise from there then your life rises from there

I vow to love myself

We're human beings

And fundamentally we're stuck with the human mind

This monkey brain that runs around on this untamed horse, right?

The details is differ, the core is the same

And fundamentally it's fear and love

I had a literal near-death experience going, that's what I experienced

The only things that came up

Were fear and love, fear and love

And those are the primary motivators

Fear and love, fear and love

You can't fight fear

You can't fight darkness

Darkness is the absence of light

So what you do is you work on the light

You bring the light in, and that takes away the darkness

And so that's something I actually really learned trying to save myself

If I worked on the light it would take care of the rest

And that's love

I vow to love myself
