SAVE YOURSELF Lyrics – Meek Mill

[Intro]
Sometimes you can’t save everybody, everybody ain’t gon’ make it
Meek Milly
(Save yourself)

[Verse]
Uh, I gotta really take my time, it’s too much on my mind (Too much)
Tryna do too much for people, took too much from my grind (Too much)
Going back and forth with legal was too much for my mom
I had to try another sport, yeah
Judge bang that gavel, got you dying out in court
Fu*k you thought? (What the fu*k?)

In front of your kids and your momma, s*it a war
I was brought up on them back blocks (I was)
Where n!ggas’ dreams turn to nightmares with them black Glocks (No lie)
He seventeen, don’t want his life, he tryna crash out (He tripping)
Don’t want no thots, he want the Glocks that got the ass shots
He don’t know no better
Yeah, I love bro, but that trust low, so we don’t roll together (We don’t)
He be selling— and I free n!ggas, it don’t go together
So much I gotta hold together
I do not got time to wine and dine, I’m putting hoes together
I’m tryna make ’em go together (I am)
Clutching on that pole when I’m outside, these n!ggas cold as ever (Pussies)
Made hundred mil’, I’m on that time, I’m tryna go forever (Go)
Save yourself, fall back in the cut so you don’t play yourself (Fall back)
Went and got some money by myself, I couldn’t wait for help
Brodie had got caught up on them Percs and now he hate hisself
I been tryna lift his spirit, tougher times getting near
Other bro sound happier than him and he got fifty years (Soldier)
Real flex, I’m happy who I am when I look in the mirror
Disappear, double-back, then tell ’em I ain’t coming back
I still be bouncing out like Ja Morant on his rookie year
She know I’m up, she tryna rush to bring that pu*sy here (She rushing)
Come here
Two million on the bed, I had her cumming on it
She never been around a real with this much money on him

Naw, for real
(Save yourself) Uh
‘Cause won’t nobody save you when they swoop in and cage you
Sitting in the cell like it’s hell, you on day two
Looking at the pics and all them n!ggas that betrayed you, damn
(Save yourself)
As you should
I’d save everybody if I could
Sitting with the billi’ boys on the wood
Young boul keep staring, he really know I’m from the mud
‘Cause he had sold me a Glock back then, I dapped him, gave hug
Said the chopper was outside and he ain’t know which one it was (He tripping)
Tryna stack 150, fu*k going to the club
I’m praying brodie get his mind back, he gone off them drügs
He gone (I pray)
I pray brodie get that time back, been gone like a dub
He ain’t even do the crime, saying Surahs on his rug
On the phone with his mom, she know her boy need a hug
Did a four-hour drive while all your dogs in the club
Your hoes was there too and it was all really love
It be tricky loving a ho from jail that already was
Fighting cases in the matrix, knowing you already cuffed
And it be hard to really think knowing you already stuck (It’s hard)
Double-back to get my dog because I’m already up
And I’m all the way in it, should’ve known I ain’t finished
Saved myself first, then I did reform for the trenches, I’m like
In these times, you gotta save yourself (Save me)
When you look outside
Shots fly, nobody came for help (Brrt, nobody)
Mm, we said this s*it ride or die
Went to the guys, I had to beg for help (Tripping)
Said this s*it was ride or die
Believing in them heathens, lost your people and you played yourself
Told you don’t believe in none of those heathens, yeah

[Outro]
Ooh, woah, woah
I’ll never sell my soul
Hanging in the trenches where I lost most of my n!ggas
But I ain’t forget to chase my goals
Ooh, woah, woah
I’ll never sell my soul
Hanging in the trenches where I lost most of my n!ggas
But I ain’t forget to chase my goals
