Selfish

[00:03.36] Yeah, yeah, yeah, mh, go
[00:09.89] yeah, yeah
[00:14.00] I ain't been this hurt ever and we deserve better
[00:17.60] When you see destruction, it's corruption, then it's vendetta
[00:21.00] We can stand or settle, every black boy ain't just born ghetto
[00:24.37] But we're in this bracket, police tactics, holding warm metal
[00:28.00] Whether you a athlete or a actress, this is hard as ever
[00:31.33] All just pose distractions, moving backwards while we're all disheveled
[00:34.97] Why we can't ignore this devil? My people's more than fed up (come on)
[00:38.48] We just earn a fraction, when there's actually much more to give us
[00:41.97] Riddled in these lies, oppressors wanna kill our strides (strides)
[00:45.39] Though the only way that they can shake us up is to take lives?
[00:48.64] It's cowardice, fists hoisted high will leave them powerless
[00:52.12] Dawg this ain't new to us, it took too long just to acknowledge this
[00:55.53] Black skin is amethyst, our melanin discovered (yeah, yeah)
[00:58.64] Spread our culture like Evangelists (yeah)
[01:00.26] Anunnaki tribes, yo there's bludgeoned black lives
[01:04.00] Though it's constant, we can't be conditioned or desensitized (no)
[01:07.03] To break them stigmas, rise (yeah)
[01:09.15] Freedom Fighters, reuniting, please just be advised ('vised)
[01:12.79] We can wage together, break the pen' to free my guys
[01:16.23] Every fiber in me says that we ain't built for this demise
[01:19.35] Overstand what hatred does, but don't let it eat you alive
[01:22.99] First time looking in the mirror
[01:26.16] Another one resting in the fight (another one)
[01:30.55] Rolling the dice to get the game going
[01:33.39] The game gon' take another life (another one)
[01:36.85] And I know it makes no sense
[01:40.06] Can everyone be selfish?
[01:43.42] I'll cry about it 'cause
[01:46.22] I don't wanna, I don't wanna die
[01:50.49] When the music from the soul, boy you future-proof (future-proof, that's right)
[01:54.05] Throw my fam a couple bucks, know they could use a few (use a few)
[01:57.41] Yeah, I wish that I had more, but I'll make due with two (due with two)
[02:00.60] Just monitor what type of energy is fueling you
[02:03.95] Our ancestors our antennas, reaching for a place (place)
[02:08.29] Somewhere outta space or just somewhere (yeah)
[02:11.14] Now I'm running circles in my labyrinth (labyrinth)
[02:13.43] Many just avoid the pain, I had to decongest it
[02:16.83] Fools just manifest it
[02:18.62] I was there without this motive, rolled over in my emotions
[02:22.05] I ain't listen when you said, "Things'll change when you get older"
[02:25.44] Now it's funny, I'm hearing whispers on my conscious (conscious)
[02:28.07] though it hurts to reminisce, the thoughts with you are timeless
[02:31.52] Couldn't wait to tell you 'bout how I got some records out
[02:34.90] Always lent an ear to me and always down to check it out
[02:38.40] Tensions boiling over, that shit creeping through my dome
[02:41.70] I fear another death so much, I dread just picking up my phone
[02:44.95] My fortitude is high, I saw my homies in the sky (sky)
[02:48.42] Seeking for another chance, on this planet we reside
[02:52.08] Wish that I could hold your hand, wish that we could be together (gether)
[02:55.94] I learned the hard way, that nothing seems to last forever
[02:59.30] Or does it?
[03:00.31] First time looking in the mirror (I don't)
[03:04.00] Another one resting in the fight (I don't)
[03:07.21] Rolling the dice to get the game going
[03:10.35] The game gon' take another life
[03:13.80] And I know it makes no sense
[03:17.24] Can everyone be selfish?
[03:20.78] I'll cry about it 'cause
[03:23.99] I don't wanna, I don't wanna die
[03:26.93] (I don't wanna die)
[03:30.20] (I don't wanna die)
[03:33.95] (We don't wanna die, wanna die)
