Selfish Lyrics by Primere

From Me To You

2018

[Intro: Primere]
Yo
Uh, check it

[Verse 1: Primere ]
Looking back at the things I’ve done, yeah I got a selfish attitude
I cut you off, all my homies, I ain’t mad at you
Walking at night without a fright, cross the avenue
Hoping I get hit by a car, so the news goes back to you
So you could spill a fact or two ‘bout how I’d act a fool
Dodging mothers calls, running through the halls and skipping classes
Falling in love with skinny waists and the biggest asses
Since middle school, considered cool if you weren’t passing
That shit was foolish, man I guess I had it twisted
Man I’m guess I’m just a victim of society ‘till I found out that I was gifted
And it followed to my older years
Seen some shit, dirty tricks from my older peers
Contemplated selling drugs just to hold the fears
Of going broke back, but I rapped to let them know I’m here
Damn, least my head was right half the time
Told my mom, don’t you worry girl I have to shine
Just to grab what’s mine…

[Verse 2: Primere]
No apologies issued, man I’m being silly
Burning bridges that I need, so I burn the city
Throwback to when you ran the streets, thillin with me
Showing love I never returned, I’m hoping you forgive me
I don’t forget those who’re part of my life
Turned Gio.B to Primere, turned my heart into ice
That’s what they say, I guess that’s what I’m showing
I got love for everybody just in case you didn’t know it
Things change though, I’m tryna grow, I’m tryna expand
Become a man, and plan my future any way that I can
‘Cause no one feeds me when I’m hungry
No one pays my mother’s rent
I do you just how you’ve done me
I’m a demon heaven-sent
Keep that in mind as time goes by, I write these rhymes
Tryna get my mom a dollar, quarter donated, and for me a dime
But to do so, I got to isolate myself
I chose a hard career too young, God damn I hate myself
I said, to do so, I got to isolate myself
I chose a hard career too young, God damn I hate myself
This’s for the city though, if I can’t put us on, then who can?
So tell me once again how selfish I am, God damn...
