Lyrics Self (Road To August VI) - Lyrical Joe

I'm from the trenches, benches
Jumping up all the fence
Things dey you for know before you hit your 20's
Brothers biting dust then broke the teeth, no need for dentist
This is education for the streets so, come and learn this
Oh yeah, yeah
Don't know my body, but I know my soul yeah, yeah
All I gotta do is let it go yeah, yeah
Let it, let it, let it go yeah, yeah
Let it gooo'

Yeah, yeah
Time is what nobody has, only you can give your self
Only you can be your devil; only you can give you hell
You can imitate thousands, but only you can be your self
A book will tell you about others, only you can read your self
Any one can water crops, but only you can grow your self
Happiness you owe your self, and only you can pay your self
Any one can choose to leave, but only you can leave your self
Here, it's mirrors over TV; only you can watch your self
How does broken hearts exist, when only you should love your self?
Every one can make a sketch, but only you can draw your self
Close to things that make you happy and never erase your self
Everyone be having sex, but only you can f*ck your self
Every one is a thief, but only you can steal your self
And not get arrested for crime 'cause only you can lock yourself
See, you win or loose your self, so Africa should blame itself
'Cause every one can make you slaves, but
Only you can sell your self
We came up as dirty shoes where only you can shine your self
From my self to my self I'm introducing my self
You a stranger till you die if you refuse to know your self
They say this life is a gamble; you better bet on your self
Only you can wish your self shooting star
But as a star, only you can shoot your self
To the top, so help yourself
Fame is BJ for the self 'cause
The whole industry a d*ck, but only you can blow your self
You outdo and do your self
The pandemic sh*t is crazy
Doctors holding the vaccine, but only you could heal your self
King, only you rule your self
Everybody be numb, but only you can feel your self
See you begging every one, but only you can please yourself
Churches out, preachers out, you should meet your god yourself
Lies will take you any where, but to the truth you bring yourself
See the world can be the Thomas; only you can doubt yourself
Every one is in a race, but only you can run yourself
Every one is after clout; choose your tail and chase yourself
Fuck opinion and lists; only you should rate yourself
Your best rapper should get himself a ghostwriter
If not possible, then he should ghost himself
Dope as coke I'm on my self
I'm the builder I'm the stone, and I don't reject myself
So I don't corner myself
Crack the joke and laugh myself
Even if I was a cripple I'd be standing by my self
Fuck the weather, climate change, I shine and rain on myself
I did it without a stain, but I've been the shit on my self
You know life will test us all, but only you can fail your self
Don't tell me about no fashion, I wake up and wear my self
The people are deaf and dumb, but I speak and I hear my self
You weirdos can keep your verses, I just go feature my self
When the fam is not the fam no more, you relate to your self
You hide behind all colognes but only you can smell yourself
You wanna be rent free, then accommodate yourself
You see before any label, I signed a deal with myself
To be the illest rapper Ghana has ever had in itself
You can go to any school, but better study your self
Like breaking up with my self I'm ending it my self
Only get emotional when I cry for my rivals
Most important sh*t in the game, you agree or you just go
Have an unnecessary P like the Psalm in the Bible
Men it's crazy how I go
This weapon is lethal
Only solid is Jesus when I rhyme I pray he
Keep me under the Rock like I'm signed by Jay-Z
When these rhymes are lazy, I still get busy
At where it rains fire, that's where the beast be

Trenches, benches
Jumping up all the fence
Things dey you for know before you hit your 20's
Brothers biting dust then broke the teeth, no need for dentist
This is education for the streets, so come and learn this
Oh yeah, yeah
Don't know my body, but I know my soul yeah, yeah
All I gotta do is let it go yeah yeah
Let it, let it, let it go yeah, yeah
Let it gooo'
