Lyrics Staying To Myself - Lil JJ Reynolds

J, you tripping
Nah man, I'm good man
Just gotta take my meds, you know?, I'll be alright
Shit, don't let the meds get to your head
Ahh, come on man, you know I need 'em bro
Whatever gets you to bed
Ha, ha

Solitary's in my blood 'like a body, full of drugs
In position to be a loner, screw a posse of thugs
I got nobody 'I can trust, I'm only trusting me
I locked my heart inside the safe, no one can touch the keys, if it isn't me
On alert from the phony snakes
Staying loyal to yourself is the only fate
I got my mind on the grind, and my eyes on the prize
Keeping my guard up from girls and guys in disguise
My head's in the books, writing songs and shit
Learning up from mistakes, all my wrongs and the tricks
Been alone all along, shit 'I gotta admit
That people's words, people's promises, they don't mean shit
If their actions are the opposite and full of lies
That gut feeling, grows huge, like being full from an appetite
Staying in your own circle is always good for health
So that way, no one can hurt you man, I'm staying to myself

Staying to myself, staying to myself
I'm staying to myself, and I don't need no help
Fool, I'm staying to myself, that's always been 'how I felt
Ya, I'm staying to myself

Myself
Staying to myself
Staying to myself
Staying to myself, (Self)

The dark was comfy, and a way for me to just escape
From this complicated life, to relax my metal state
Faith was gone, when I prayed, staying strong wasn't the case
It was the fact 'that I was letting people, lie to my face
I was disgusted, betrayed from the niggas 'I trusted
Congested from thinking 'I would be saved from this love shit
I wasn't aware of all the signs and flags
What I regret the most is wasting my time and cash
On who didn't deserve it, it made me feel worthless
All the rejection and pain, made me a different person
It made me angry and cold 'enough to keep my distance
It stopped me from feeling pain, when my brain's reminiscing
Ha, J you tripping, nah, I'm only listening to my instincts
That feeling that would give me the chills
And would warn me back and forth, but I was so in denial
It took a while to save myself, but I did, and now 'I'm just

Staying to myself, staying to myself
I'm staying to myself, and I don't need no help
Fool, I'm staying to myself, that's always been 'how I felt
Ya, I'm staying to myself

Myself
Staying to myself
Staying to myself
Staying to myself, (Self)

Back to my point 'of being so, so, so in denial
Thinking they wouldn't do me dirty, and it took me a while
To forgive who hurt me, forgave em, but I'll never forget
Had to force myself to eject all the cold regrets
It was a mess to clean up, and it gave me cold feet
But it helped me reincarnate the old me
It took them corny situations 'for me to realize
That it's best to be alone, and I only got myself
I would never try to love myself first
Loving somebody else, first, is why I always got hurt
It made me question my worth, and who I was, as a man
I looked myself in the mirror and said damn man
What happened to you?, where's your pride and your self respect?
Those kind of questions made me meditate and self reflect
Had to put myself in check, and say to myself
That I'm better off alone, so I'm staying to myself

Staying to myself, staying to myself
I'm staying to myself, and I don't need no help
Fool, I'm staying to myself, that's always been 'how I felt
Ya, I'm staying to myself

Myself
Staying to myself
Staying to myself
Staying to myself, (Self)
