Ay, givers gotta set limits
'Cause the takers never do
Put yourself first (yourself first, yourself first)
Hmm (hmm, hmm)
Then they gon' say you selfish
Ay, I might be selfish 'cause I got secrets I never shared
I just kept 'em to myself, speak of 'em, I never dared
And even when they hurt me, I act like I never cared
I let you put on a show and your episodes never aired
But when it's my turn, the mercy was never spared
I owe you for that shit like a tab that I never cleared
Circle is never squared, vibe is never weird
Bone crushers in the Glock, I promise I'm never scared
How I'm selfish? Needed swag, I gave you that
Y'all rode it 'til the wheels fell off and gave it flats
Ain't tell you what you wanted to hear, I gave the facts
And when I took your bitch, wasn't selfish, I gave her back
If I was selfish, I would've kept her all to myself
She got that top that'll make me pull up all by myself
Can you make me better? I'm a movement all by myself
If I shine, you shine, and I be spoilin' myself
She told me she like sports, and I'm a baller myself
And I don't even need a ref 'cause I could call it myself
The bad vibes, gotta move, I U-Haul 'em myself
I don't know who to quick or clip or John Wall on myself
If I'm selfish, why I help 'em with everything?
Even gave 'em they flowers, they smelt 'em and everything
Bunch of thank yous, you welcomes and everything
Then pillow talk about me and tell them hos everything
Nigga, we done had waffles in Belgium and everything, huh
Used to hop fences when 12 come and everything, huh
Last I seen, you was unhealthy and everything, huh
Uncomfortable vibes, I felt 'em and everything
I'm selfish with my energy and my shellfish
Carl Malice looking real prime, 112-ish
Pull up 'round 12-ish, something V12-ish
I'm at the 7-Eleven in a 812, bitch
I could tell you lil' niggas never had to scale fish
When I used to sell fish, I couldn't even spell fish
Lookin' like it's goin' in, I shoot my shot and yell, "Swish"
Self-made, self-paid, guess I am selfish
Know what's selfish? The confidence of a snitch
Luck is a lady, but karma's always a bitch
Selfishness'll make someone comment under your pic
When he took care of you and your mama since you was six
Who's selfish? Maybe we all are
We all want something or someone to call ours
We buy big jewelry to cover up small scars
We came a long way and still, we all far
What's a star player to a team of All-Stars?
I win, we win, W's all ours
Them Range Rover, Rolls-Royce trucks all ours
And y'all can't even get no fuckin' hook, it's all bars
I'm selfish, yeah
