Selfish Lyrics by Oren Major

Black Privilege

2017

Crazy how niggas call me selfish
I'm the only one with a whip but I let you drive it
They say I'm stingy but yet the Fendi, you rocking my shit
You need a place, I move you in, but now you on some hot shit
I need to move, I'm on probation I can't risk it all
When you got this much ambition man it's a different fall
When you a real nigga you're held to a certain stigma
So if I stop being passive and get assertive with ya
Just know that the purpose bigger
Your vision is non-existent, we both grew up in the struggle, but me I'm optimistic
Your pessimism is vandalizing the holy temple, the canvas of God's body, I hope you know it's rental
I hope you know it's mental when shit ain't going as planned
They say the biggest storms today were created by man
On some HARP shit
So I look out for my family on some ark shit
And slide for my niggas on some park shit
And then let it, ride...
Fuckin right I let it, ride...
For my people I will, slide...
And you can see it in my eyes...
Real niggas on my side...
Yeah, some real niggas on my side...
Crazy how niggas call me selfish
When everything you ever got you got it from me
Really nigga, I'm as selfless as I can be
When I'm down bad and helpless who's helping me
I carry too many crosses, I feel like Nazareth, all these whips on my abdomen
I get forsaken by niggas I was just laughing with
Niggas gon ride when you want it not when you got this shit
I'm not surprised, I predict it, I'm like a prophet
Too many unchecked boxes in this loyalty audit
Yeah, I spot it now like a sniper, I shot it down like a falling star
I bought a knife my new hobby is cutting all them off
It just made me focus, and get to know me more
I told my girl I love her, I need to show her more
She the only one can call me selfish, I say "you mine girl and no one else's"
I will not let it ride....ah ah
Ride...for my people I will slide
And you can see it in my eyes
Yeah, real niggas on my side...
Real niggas on my side....real niggas on my side...
I wish love would endure
I wish friends were for sure
Right now and back then ain't the same thing
My life a canvas, with the brush I paint pain
Yeah, the shit you can't seem to handle I maintain
One more time...
I wish love would endure
I wish friends were for sure
Right now and back then ain't the same thing
My life a canvas, with the brush I paint pain
Yeah, the shit you can't seem to handle I maintain
And let it ride...
If a white officer kill me he get a not guilty...
If I make it to see jury I know they won't hear me...
That's why I keep the chopper near me, I know that they fear me...
Gang gang gang gang...
If a white officer kill me he get a not guilty...
If I make it to see jury I know they won't hear me...
That's why I keep the chopper near me, I know that they fear me...
Gang gang gang gang...
