Selfish

Selfish - Erick Elliott/Linden Jay/Pip Millett/Erick The Architect

Lyrics by：Erick Elliott/Linden Jay/Pip Millett

Composed by：Erick Elliott/Linden Jay/Pip Millett

I ain't been this hurt ever

And we deserve better

When you see destruction it's corruption then it's vendetta

We can stand or settle every black boy ain't just born ghetto

But we're in this bracket police tactics holding warm metal

Whether you athlete or a actress this is hard as ever

All just pose distractions moving backwards while we're all disheveled

Why we can't ignore this devil

My peoples more than fed up

We just earn a fraction when there's actually much more to give us

Riddled in these lies oppressors wanna kill our strides

Though the only way they can shake us up is to take lives

It's cowardice

Fists hoisted high will leave them powerless

Dog this ain't new to us it took too long just to acknowledge this

Our black skin is amethyst our melanin discovered

Spread our culture like Evangelists

Anunnaki tribes now there's bludgeoned black lives

Though it's constant we can't be conditioned or desensitized

To break the stigmas rise

Freedom Fighters reuniting please just be advised

We can wage together break the penn to free my guys

Every fiber in me says that we built ain't for this demise

Overstand what hatred does but don't let it eat you alive

First time looking in the mirror

Another one resting in the fight

Rolling the dice to get the game going

The game gone take another life

And I know it makes no sense

Can everyone be selfish

I'll cry about it 'cause

I don't wanna

I don't wanna die

When the music from the soul boy you Future-Proof

Throw my fam a couple bucks know they could use a few

Yeah I wish that I had more but I make due with two

Just monitor what type of energy is fueling you

Our ancestors our antennas

Reaching for a place

Somewhere out of space

Or just somewhere

Now I'm running circles in this labyrinth

Many just avoid the pain I had to decongest it

Fools just manifest it

I was there without this motive rolled over in my emotions

I ain't listen when you said things'll change when you get older

Now its funny I'm hearing whispers on my conscious

And though it hurts to reminisce the thoughts with you are timeless

Couldn't wait to tell you bout how I got some records out

Always lent an ear to me and always down check it out

Tensions boiling over that s**t creeping through my dome

I fear another death so much I dread just picking up my phone

My fortitude is high I saw my homeys in the sky

Seeking for another chance on this planet we reside

Wish that I could hold your hand wish that we could be together

I learned the hard way that Nothing Seems To Last Forever

Or does it

First time looking in the mirror

Another one resting in the fight

Rolling the dice to get the game going

The game gone take another life

And I know it makes no sense

Can everyone be selfish

I'll cry about it 'cause

I don't wanna

I don't wanna die
