Self Care Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I switched the time zone, but what do I know?
Spending nights hitchhiking, where will I go?
I could fly home with my eyes closed
But it be kinda hard to see, that's no surprise though
You can find me, I ain't hiding
I don't move my feet when I be gliding
I just slide in and then I roll out
Yeah, well, climbing over that wall
I remember, yes, I remember, yes, I remember it all
Swear the height be too tall so like September I fall
Down below, now I know that the medicine be on call, yeah
It's feeling like you hot enough to melt, yeah
Can't trust no one, can't even trust yourself yeah
And I love you, I don't love nobody else, yeah
Tell them they can take that bullshit elsewhere
Self care, I'm treating me right
Hell yea, we're gonna be alright
(We gon' be alright)
I switched the time zone, but what do I know?
Spending nights hitchhiking, where will I go?
I could fly home with my eyes closed
But it be kinda hard to see, that's no surprise though
You can find me, I ain't hiding
I don't move my feet when I be gliding
I just slide in and then I roll out
Been on the road
I don't see it
Out on the road
I don't see it
Yeah, I been reading them signs
I been losin' my, I been losin' my, I been losin' my mind, yeah
Get the fuck out the way, must be this high to play
It must be nice up above the lights, and what a lovely life that I made
I know that feelin' like it's in my family tree, yeah
That Mercedes drove me crazy, I was speedin'
Somebody save me from myself, yeah
Tell them they can take that bullshit elsewhere
Self care, we gonna be good
Hell yeah, they letting me go
I switched the time zone, but what do I know?
Spending nights hitchhikin', where will I go?
I could fly home with my eyes closed
But it be kinda hard to see, that's no surprise though
You can find me, I ain't hiding
I don't move my feet when I be gliding
I just slide in and then I roll out
And I didn't know, I didn't know
I didn't know, I didn't know, hey
Well, didn't know what I was missing, now it see a lil' different
I was thinking too much
Got stuck in oblivion, yeah, yeah
Oblivion, yeah, yeah

Plus I know it's a, it's a beautiful feeling
In oblivion, yeah, yeah

Oblivion, yeah, yeah
Yeah, OK I ride around my city when I come home
The sun set quickly then get up slow
My disc connect and upload
Watch it spin around, we just spinnin' round
Let's go and travel through the unknown
We play it cool we know we fucked up, yeah
You keep on saying you in love, so
Tell me are you really down?
Are you really down? Yeah
Let's go back to my crib and play some 45's
It's safer there, I know there's still a war outside
We spend our nights all liquored up, our mornings high
Can you feel it now?
Oblivion, yeah, yeah

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
This song makes a number of references to the hard drugs Mac was battling with and that ultimately put him in the wood box.
The first half is about running around intoxicated and "sliding into" taxis and rolling out. And not being able to see. He can't and doesn't drive because he's messed up being out. Flying home in a taxi, windows down, very drunk. He admits he and the friends he is doing H have "fucked up". "Demons as big as a house". We know and he new he had gotten in too deep. He went "over the wall" from alcohol and pot to the purple juice codeine and then the big H. He can only look up to the nice fun life he could enjoy if he had not gotten addicted.
The second part of the song, is smooth and warm, he is writing from within one of his nightly opiate highs. "Oblivion" is the opiate high. He's stuck but he's rich enough to take enough to get high enough that it is pleasant and warm.It's a beautiful feeling, but it's deadly, but it feels good in the hard high. We know he was sitting home a lot mostly alone. But a few druggie friends coming by. Love? But she was not "down". Ariaria did not like his drug habit and repeated it often to him and always threatening to leave the last 6-12 months.
