Selfish

We can get it poppin' if you want to
Or somethin' like that, I'm feelin' the groove
We can get it poppin' if you want to
Or somethin' like that, I'm feelin' the groove

Lately been feelin so violent
Can give a dang about feelings
So I prefer to stay silent
I talk less when I should've thought more
Resorting to what feel good to my pride
Should I walk more around the neighborhood?
I use to ride my bike around this city thinkin' bout the future now I play with lil acts of depression
I seem to lack an expression when most necessary
My girl all hurt and I ain't ready to step and carry her problems, my problems is more important
That's just ego, but people don't let you fall too short when you're the one preachin' the real news, I feel too
I been in the field too but I need to appeal to
His issue, her issue everyone depressed nowadays
And need to rest nowadays
I ain't rested for my stress,
Now pain is sneakin' up and got me mad at the world
Angry, dismantled of pearls that I once held
Did I cast 'em amongst the world? Shoot

Selfish, Ever since I was a child
Everybody call me selfish
I ain't even selfish, I can show selfish
Selfish, All I do is give, soon as I react or feel
Everybody call me selfish
As if they ain't selfish

Why you always gotta be so selfish
Why you always gotta be so selfish

Not too many expectations
For my life, I'm patient
Try to give my goods
And live life like vacation
As I write my aches sit on the top of my head
I try and knock it out, left, right, left right, left
I gotta pep my step
To live up to my words
The ones I wish I said
When I was stable in terms
Of being truthful; Youth full of drama
My mama said pray
And I did still I fall for the trap
In the back of my mind
I design a relax mechanism and
This is a crime to the folk
That surround me, they hound me
And call me a selfish hypocrite
I felt this time after time and I'm tired
Of tryin' To find a recline
For the hurt that I lie down at night with
I get that you all got pains
But I got pains that I can't tame

Selfish, Ever since I was a child
Everybody call me selfish
I ain't even selfish, I can show selfish
Selfish, All I do is give, soon as I react or feel
Everybody call me selfish
As if they ain't selfish

Why you always gotta be so selfish
Why you always gotta be so selfish

We can get it poppin' if you want to
Or somethin' like that, I'm feelin' the groove
We can get it poppin' if you want to
Or somethin' like that, I'm feelin' the groove
