U Gotta Love Yourself

Get real scared
Real fast
picture freddy kruger
a gremlin
and a hairy smelly ass
i find myself with my back to this wall
and thats what i'm starin at
The wall is cold
The way room temperature can be sometimes
With my warm back pressed so snugly against it
I find comfort in this position
because its too damn ugly to be pretentious
and ugly stands for U gotta love yourself
U gotta love yourself
ugly
"let me hold something playa",
"boy its ugly today"
you ever seen someone so sexy you had to look away
but see, i can look ugly right in the face
from the dirty pissy j's
thats all over the place
to the eye sore where i was raised sir
i seen ugly like
okay
pickin which bills ima pay
i seen ugly like i dont got nowhere to stay
buckshot beedebee pam ugly
aunt esther ugly
old bad bottom gorilla faced hussy
ugly
ol frog-eyed fish eating fool
ugly
and i aint have no tv show to make it funny
or money to make it cool
i know it feels good to be pretty
riding tall through the city
And i live in Midtown
with the pretty buildings
and the pretty people
in their pretty little cars
and pretty little make-up
to cover ugly ass scars
because with beauty comes insecurity
we just wanna be where the pretty people are
but its something about knowing shit is not looking good
less stress-bound
thats why you feel liberated when you dress down, dont you
dont you
and yea,
yea, it feels good to be pretty
ridin tall through the city
but pretty falls apart and they dont make enough glue
ugly know its ugly and ugly know what to do
ugly aint scared of no mirror
could i say that about you?
tryin to keep up with appearances
thats running from you
that junkie lady pissin outside
on the ground
downtown
she aint scared of no mirror
cuz she cant hide from the fact that shit is ugly right now
so even though shit is ugly right now
its comforting
in the same way as fuckin a ugly woman is
you know she aint cheatin
and you dont care if she is
what you see is what you get
and it is what it is
U gotta love yourself
sometimes that mirror can make it hard to love yourself
Ugly
from where im standing shit is ugly
with my back against this wall
from this side of the mirror
but ugly aint scared of ugly
and i'll get ugly right wit ya
cuz i aint here to look pretty
im here to paint a picture
that shit is ugly right now
but its cool
cuz i love myself
