lyrics

How come I never wanted to be a lawyer?
Firefighter or doctor, you know, something important?
All the things that we seem to praise are distorted
We need a cop who won't treat a black life like it is nothing
Why ain't I tryna make a difference?
or dreamt of being in the academy instead of spittin
All the industry breeding is narcissism and music
just seeing so unimportant in the world that we live in
Like I think what I have to say is important enough to put out a record
Like it deserve the effort
Selfish Bastard is fitting 'cause selfishness is what's in me
at least that's how I be feeling when verses slanging and dealing.
Then I have peole say that my gift is heavensent
How are you supposed to benefit from my rhetoric?
All I know is that nothing I know is definite
I just wish I was chosen for something better than this

[verse 2]

Baby, lemme speak something to ya
'Cause I ain't tryna own you or try to rule you
But I don't want the shy demeanor to foll you
Probably speak on some things that you may not even be used to
I guess it's time to clear something up
Yeah your body is bangin' but bae that ain't enough
Everything that you saying just isn't true
I'm seeing all of the programs you run and they not you
Where did you go? Where did you go?
You don't need me to save you, I just wanna let you know
And you're not alone, sugar, because I do it too
If we don't let it stop us, then we'll be unstoppable.
See, most of our lives are spent
Talking to somebody's conditioning but not them
And I, been on earth too long to pretend any longer that our fears
are our best friends, so you can cry

[Verse 3]

Damnit, I know I'm not supposed to cry
but all these verses you got me spitting making me teary eyed
You got me really touched, 'cause of how funny it was
Mentioning everything you was doing that you never done
Why you fronting and saying that you packing extra clips?
My boy google looked you up and said you don't exist
And all the trojans you ripping with plenty hoes
but dedicating the songs to your Mrs. at every show?
What hurts the most is saying you the best rapper alive
which is ridiculous because you know I haven't died
But I'm a put you on television with Maury and have the lie detector
test determine that that was a lie
Making wifey cry after testing paternity
Thinking you was the father of your style and then learning it's me
The only thing you can do to keep from crying is mean mugging,
so now you call me a "hater" like it mean something
