Self Care
Self Care
by Bilal
man i just be chilling on my lonesome
tryna find my own peace of mind
put on my headphones and just vibe out
shuffle my latest spotify playlist
this one called “the wrong generation”
cuz sometimes i feel like i’m from the wrong generation
pretty sure i was born for the 90s
the lyrical excellence of a tribe called quest
the uplifting energy of tupac shakur
the swagger and delivery of biggie
the experimentation of j dilla
the funk and flex from ice cube
the rhythm and bass from d’angelo
the southern hospitality of outkast
…
the list goes on
anyways, sometimes when the troubles of today
seep into my mind, messing with my tomorrow
i gotta just hit play and step into yesterday
it helps me cling onto my sanity
it helps me hold off my struggles
find that peace of mine
and when it’s time to step back to reality
i just take that shit in small doses
one step at a time
cuz i can’t care for myself and the world 24/7
that’s exhausting
gotta do what i gotta do
gotta care bout myself
and my state of mind
