Lute – “Myself” [Audio, Lyrics]

American rapper, Lute unveils a new track, titled “Myself”, produced by Trox. Listen, stream, buy, read the lyrics, mp3 download the song.

Dreamville-signed Lute isn’t exactly the most prolific artist, opting to space his releases and move entirely at his own pace. Today, the North Carolina lyricist has come through with his new single “Myself,” forsaking the typical release strategy in favour of a more direct approach. At this time, the song is exclusively available on his Bandcamp page, with fans given the opportunity to pay whatever they want for a download.

Musically, the song finds Lute sliding over a vibey groove, spitting bars with the intensity of the hungry. “Life’s a challenge so for balance had to right some wrongs,” he raps. “If it don’t bring me peace, please don’t call my phone, watch your tone / n***as want so much I wish I had a clone/feeling like Tyrese — what more you want from me?” Once again, Lute proves he’s one of Dreamville’s secret weapons, and fans will certainly enjoy hearing him unleash his grievances on “Myself.”

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lute]
I’m not an introvert, I really just don’t fuck with niggas
So to myself nowadays, it’s really hard to read intentions
Funny how people who act distant say you actin’ different
Trust me, if I don’t fuck with you, I keep it consistent, ah
Life’s a challenge, so for balance had to right some wrongs
If it didn’t bring me peace, then please don’t call my phone
Watch your tone, niggas want so much, I wish I had a clone
Feelin’ like Tyrese, what more you want from me?
“I just want my baby”
Lifestyle drive me crazy, who the fuck gon’ save me?
Niggas tryna play me
Contemplating daily if I should blow this bitch up
Kick a door, then load this bitch up, hold this bitch up
I’m Pac, it’s Bishop, you timid as fuck, niggas switch up
Every time a nigga see a nigga close to the bread
I’m close to the edge, try a nigga
I got niggas that’ll come for your head
While my daughter sleep in comfort instead
Try a nigga, I got niggas that’ll come for your head

[Chorus: DEVN]
Way too much goin’ on, “Do Not Disturb” on my phone
Where I lay my head don’t feel like home
And niggas wonder why I be in my zone
Way too much goin’ on, “Do Not Disturb” on my phone
Where I lay my head don’t feel like home
And niggas wonder why I be in my zone
Lay my head down and I pray to the Lord
Wanna be by myself
Leave me, I’ll be good all alone
All good by myself, yeah

[Verse 2: Lute]
People switch up quick, that’s what you find out fast
So ironic that you’ll be the one to find out last
They throw stones at your character, but be a house of glass
We in this bitch until I fucking crash and if it’s out of gas
And even then we push this bitch to make it last, shit
All my life I’ve been pushing just to make it past shit
Sippin’ fortys from a paper bag, shit
I paid my dues, who gon’ pay it back?
The day I signed, I always play it back
‘Cause all those nights I challenged God like “Nigga where you at?”
Yet still I pray my only peace of Heaven was the hope inside
Held back my tears, yet half the shit I couldn’t cope inside
Never thought that my life and dreams would ever coincide
‘Cause I remember nights I asked myself like “Who the fuck am I?”
Living legend, now I’m that fucking guy, you wonder why
‘Cause fake it until you make it was always a fucking lie
Back against the wall, my only flaw was if I never tried
Back against the wall, my only flaw was if I never tried
