Xzela - Take Care Lyrics

Damn, it all used to be so simple, simple
Painting silly pictures in my bedroom
Now everybody's out to get you, get you
Now everybody's got a personal issue
I know I'm no longer a little girl
I know I'm getting sick of this world
Hiding secrets in my curls
Got all the secrets in my curls
Maybe I don't know it all yet
But lemme tell ya, oh, I've seen some shit
And prolly not yet the worst of it
But lemme tell ya, I ain't raised to quit

Take care, take care of yourself
Worry about your wealth
Worry about your health
And worry about your own goddamn self, take care of yourself
You're the only that's got your back, take a look in that mirror
But don't let it crack
And if ya don't like what you're lookin at
Why don't you tell that to the person staring back

Have you been through the news lately?
Have you seen the whole world on a killing spree?
What the f*ck is wrong with "we"
Yeah, I said we, the land of the free
People all take life for granted
The same ones saying that they can't stand it
Lord, get me off this planet, I just don't understand it
Everyone's holding the media's hand and
What happened to United Standing
Just let police run ramped
Take a life and get slapped on the hand, and
Can't you see we're in a crisis? A hundred bodies layin' lifeless
All you wanna do is cast the blame
Oh my God, you're a f*cking shame Ignorance is bliss? Well, I call bullshit
Cuz it's all the reason for this shit
You wanna make it right?
Well, that's too damn bad
America, the beautiful, where ignorance is all we have

Damn, it all used to be so simple, simple
Painting silly pictures in my bedroom
Now everybody's out to get you, get you
Now everybody's gotta personal issue
Another life is getting lost
Another life gone, at what cost?
It don't mean nothing to the world
That was somebody's little f*cking girl
We were made to make our own choices
I wasn't made to sit here and be voiceless
I ain't gonna be voiceless
Take care, take care of yourself
