I WROTE THIS SONG OUT OF PAIN IN MY ROOM
Let me give you the background story that motivated this song. Growing up, my parents did their best to shield me from the world because of the area I grew up in; I grew up in the ghetto. I didn’t get to meet people outside the scope of family friends so what I got to know about humans, I learnt from my TV screen and books. I saw life in rainbows and colors, believed everyone and everything could be good if you wished it.
Until I got to the University
I’ve always been told the University changes a person and honestly and I finally understand. I was slammed by the harsh reality of life. I experienced heartbreaks, betrayals and hurt from different people and in different form. It was a really traumatic life changing experience but I am grateful for it. I am grateful because it made me love myself more, brought amazing friends and I made amazing memories. The experience molded me and made me understand life a whole lot better.
I’ve learnt to love me because that’s who matters to me the most. If I can’t love me, then I can’t love others. That’s how important loving me is. Which is why I wrote this song to remind myself that in the end, taking care of me is what matters.
I hope this inspires you to love you too.
So I got the beat off YouTube and I recorded it with phone using an app called BANDLAB. here’s a short lyric video. Enjoy
