Selfishly Focused

It goes, minutes to hours, and hours to days
I'm consistently grinding homie I ain't got time to play
People looking at me crazy like "Damn cham you changed"
You bet your ass I did, so please stay out of my way

Cuz starting today, I'm doing what I need
Avoiding anybody that isn't part of my dream
I spend my days writing while you spend it smoking it weed
Cuz while you're having fun I'm recording losing sleep

And you will know my name
Cuz I work it like a 9 to 5
I can't rest or close my eyes
My life is on the line
I'm sorry, please don't go, assuming as if you know
What I'm doing in the studio
But if you have the need to call me

So selfish, fine, if that's what you call focused these days
Call me selfish, why? Cuz I ain't got no time to play with friends
Everybody's got a dream mine happens to be the music industry
They're telling me I can't make a living but I'm a keep spitting
Until they listen
But until then I'm stay Selfishly Focused

I'm always spitting my rhymes and hoping shit will change
But this bitching and whining is slowing down my pace
I'm hearing fix up them lines like my shit is not okay
Why you spitting them crimes like you commit em all day?

But not listening, why do you even complain?
Cuz this position of mine is needing to get paid
God would you give me a sign that my efforts aren't a waste
Before I start gripping a 9 and start shooting up this place

So zip it if you consistent lipping shit to my face
I'll rip it off and let the blood drip like Seattle rain
I'm on a mission as a musician every time that I say
I'm pursuing a vision and won't stop until I drop in a grave

Don't care what you say; I'm here to stay today
Tomorrow and years after
Say I'm all flow but you got it backwards
I'm all wolf with a swagger

So you will know my name
See I don't care what you have to say
No matter what I'm a never change
I've come and I'm here to say
I'm sorry if you don't like the image I have shown
You best hurry and get your own

But if you have the need to call me...

So selfish, fine, if that's what you call focused these days
Call me selfish, why? Cuz I ain't got no time to play with friends
Everybody's got a dream mine happens to be the music industry
They're telling me I can't make a living but I'm a keep spitting
Until they listen
But until then I'm stay Selfishly Focused

I'm so close man I can almost taste it
All these sleepless nights that I spent up in this basement
Building a foundation more solid than a mason's
Is finally paying off man I'm glad not patient

Years I was waiting was wasted
I had to undo a lot of mythologies about trying to make it
Like the fact I wouldn't because I'm fucking asian
Nothing but aggravation put me in frustration

But I learn if you call every obstacle racist
You a bitch if the race card is all you playing
And if Hip-Hop is really dying, I don't want to save it
Cuz I can't, it's just an idea constantly changing

You can help shape it, decapitate it
But no matter what you do, you can't fucking slay it
Forgive me for getting off subject I had to say it
But I guess that's just the results of me being

So selfish, fine, if that's what you call focused these days
Call me selfish, why? Cuz I ain't got no time to play with friends
Everybody's got a dream mine happens to be the music industry
They're telling me I can't make a living but I'm a keep spitting
Until they listen
But until then I'm stay

So selfish, fine, if that's what you call focused these days
Call me selfish, why? Cuz I ain't got no time to play with friends
Everybody's got a dream mine happens to be the music industry
They're telling me I can't make a living but I'm a keep spitting
Until they listen
But until then I'm stay Selfishly Focused
