Selfish Lyrics by Lachi

2021

They’re in my face asking me a lot of questions
Like "How you gonna do that?"
They be pressing for confessions
I'm like "No. I'm be in my grave alone."
So I be on the phone

See I'm tryna get this paper
Make the fruit out of this labor
Tryna make this cheddar fluent
Cause I realize that you ain't
Gonna get me there
Nah, you ain't gonna get me there

So just spare me all the doublespeak and rubble
See you lurking 'stead of worrying 'bout what feeds you
If you was working wouldn't be worried 'bout what we do
I'm not a creek I run it deep like oceans
I never slow or break this locomotion

'Cause when I added up the sum total
Of number one gotos I am the sum total
So I keep it focussed
Stay above all of the ruckus
'Caus beneath the buzzing locusts
They stay broke and I'm not broke, cause

I am selfish
Sometimes got to be selfish
Got to do you
I'm'a do me

If I did you, I would do you
But I do me, so you do you
Go head call it selfish

Do you. I'm'a do me
Selfish

They gonna hate it
When you no longer deflated
'Cause you risen to our own decision
And you know you made it
On you own
They mad 'cause they can't handle you

Be about the business 'til it's finished
All the chatter and the pitter patter
It don' matter
'Less it make the pockets fatter
Get you up the latter, would you rather

Hold up they call me conceited
I call it "Ain't no way you see me conceding."
You get a taste
Try to play me to my face
But I am no longer basic, lacadasic
Don't mistake me, I'm like "Ain't no more."

They be tryna find my blind spot
I show up on time 'cause
I know they'd rather see me fishing dishes
Or swimming with fishes
Suspicious, malicious, 'bout my riches
And they vicious with it

So though I'm grateful and I'm thankful
Even for the hateful
I have learned high status
Is to love yourself and that is
To be selfish

That is to be selfish
You go do you, I go do me
Cause if I did you, I would do you
But I do me, so you do you
Go head call it selfish

Do you. I'm'a do me
Selfish

They wanna keep you calm
But they coming with they guns
And they do not want you running
While they're coming

But I'm be in my grave alone
I'm be in my grave alone
I'm be in my grave alone
Me myself and nothing
So if you can't' gee me something
Than your shit don't me nothing
So stop it with your fronting

They call me selfish
