about

“Self Care means to me putting everything I got on pause and loving myself for a moment. My go to practices can log me out of my mind and ground me when life is life-ing. Journaling, so I have a place to put my thoughts, a walk in nature, and forgiving the past through music and reflection are some ways I show love to me. Grief and all that comes with loss really nudged me to take a deeper look inside and take action, to take care.” – Kareen Lomax

With an unmistakable stop-in-your-tracks voice akin to the likes of Tracy Chapman and Nina Simone, Kareen’s songs let you in on the deepest truths of her life. For fans of Lauryn Hill, Jazmine Sullivan, and Lucky Daye.

lyrics

Sorry if I seem a little strange and my mind is elsewhere
Please don’t feel no type of way baby that’s just self care
Cause I’m getting older
And in order
For me to sleep at night

I don’t no I won’t
answer the phone sometimes

Before I leave this life I wanna live it
I owe it to myself before I’m finished
When it comes to my heart I get defensive
Off the internet i connect to my soul

And it might seem a little bit selfish
Can’t stop, can’t help it
The world can be lonely
So i look out for me
Gotta be a little selfish
Can’t stop, can’t help it
I’ll look out for me
Cause who’s gonna do it if I don’t

Don’t always go to the club
I don’t wanna be up until the morning
I don’t wanna judge but just don’t hit me up if it’s not important
Cause I’m over
Being overwhelmed and unsatisfied
Picking up every piece
That is left of my piece of mind

Before I leave this life I wanna live it
I owe it to myself before I’m finished
When it comes to my heart I get defensive
Off the internet i connect to my soul

And it might seem a little bit selfish
Can’t stop, can’t help it
The world can be lonely
So i look out for me
Gotta be a little selfish
Can’t stop, can’t help it
I’ll look out for me
Cause who’s gonna do it if I don’t

I need a break before it breaks me
So I’m taking a drive before it drives me crazy
A moment aside to be lazy
Cause who’s gonna do it if I don’t
