Born Selfish Lyrics by j mac (Jaden Bales)

Lost & Found

2020

[Chorus]
I've been workin’ on myself (Workin', workin')
No I could you could not tell
See it’s all about what they cannot see
Is what is really worth noticing (Ayy, yuh)
I've been tryna watch myself, no I don't need no lavish
Really tryna wash myself kinda like some salvage
I've been tryna watch myself, because I love myself
I've been tryna wash myself, ‘cause we were born selfish
[Interlude]
Oh I see you and oh I need you
Oh I see you and oh I need you
[Verse 1]
Only be real, yuh
Only be real, hide it and lock it but see how ya feel
Born into life but it wasn't the deal, uh yeah, wasn't the deal
Man I never wished to be this selfish
Day I was born it be inside of my flesh
I cannot help it, I said that I cannot help it, I was born selfish (Yuh)
This mind I have I, I know it's mine (Know it’s mine)
A distant search for a little piece of mind
[Chorus]
I’ve been working on myself (Workin', workin’)
No I could you could not tell
See it's all about what they cannot see
Is what is really worth noticing (Ayy, yuh)
I've been tryna watch myself, no I don't need no lavish
Really tryna wash myself kinda like some salvage
I’ve been tryna watch myself, because I love myself
I've been tryna wash myself, ‘cause we were born selfish
I've been working on myself (I been, workin')
No I could you could not tell (You could not tell)
See it's all about what they cannot see
Is what is really worth noticing (Ayy, yuh)
I've been tryna watch myself, no I don't need no lavish
Really tryna wash myself kinda like some salvage
I've been tryna watch myself, because I love myself
I've been tryna wash myself, ‘cause we were born selfish
(Said we were born selfish, born selfish)
[Verse 2]
Uh
Open the fence with no warning
Like the Garden of Eden but you still planting
Ha, angel in my ear, it be askin' me
“What are you doin'?”
I just say I'm takin' one for the team (Yuh)
So much violence in my face
All this pain I can't erase
I am livin' for your sake
One day we gon' all awake
Man this melody so subtle that it even make the devil cry
And it got me wondering why
Why I can't seem to achieve anything that really makes me feel succeeded
Honestly deep down I know my heart it bleedin'
Before this music I was locked up, I couldn't read it
I knew I always wanted more but I just couldn't see it
Feels like I make these songs for myself
Excuse my language sir but I don't give a damn bout' the wealth (Yuh)
Swear I'm doing all of this with no help
That's how I want it, no soul to blame but myself
Yeah I was born selfish, I want the pain, and I ain't sharing
I know that that's the only way that I'ma start bearing
The fact that I'm human like everyone else
I cannot put on no mask, I'm not denying myself
Yeah I was born selfish
I miss the days of no right or wrong
Back when life was just as simple as a plain old song
Yeah I said I miss those days, no right or wrong
Now I'm full of wisdom, and that life is gone
