Little Simz - Selfish

I can't sleep at night
I don't wanna fight
My best friend is I
I'm so selfish

Guess I'm in denial
Maybe I'm wrong, you're right
Heard it all my life
I'm so selfish

Ah ah ah ah huh
I'm so selfish
Ah ah ah ah huh
I'm so selfish

I got a very big ego
Embedded in me that's the heritage ego
And land made, they ain't messing with the steeze though
And now I'm here, can't entertain no bummy niggas
Need my nigga fresh in a tuxedo
Me and my new case, steady blowing weed smoke
I'm a woman who can teach you a little something about class
Diamonds will forever be a girls best friend
Everything's imperative for the way I live
I know it's material but not irrelevant
All this here is worked for, not inhereted
Tell myself I write my niggas off but never did
Self loving
Need more self loving
That's how it goes
They wanna know you when your buzzing
But first things first
Number one and priority, call it what you want
Doesn't phase, doesn't bother me
Honestly

I can't sleep at night
I don't wanna fight
My best friend is I
I'm so selfish

Guess I'm in denial
Maybe I'm wrong, you're right
Heard it all my life
I'm so selfish

Ah ah ah ah huh
I'm so selfish
Ah ah ah ah huh
I'm so selfish

Love and hate can never be friends
Don't rush everything in this divine time
I'm a peach you couldn't handle a woman of my caliber
Had to let you mature like some fine wine, yeah
No validation, no applause
You don't have prove you got it when you know it's yours
I don't wanna feel disloyal for wanting to do me
Then you act brand new and I know the cause
Call it what you like, until now I ain't ever been the selfish type
Until now I ain't ever told nobody no, don't get it twisted
This shit didn't happen overnight
Still if your life is amazing what you got to fear?
Can't be concerned with what they're saying over there
I make it clear don't be in and out about what you hear
You say I always get what I want and it isn't fair
But life isn't fair
Go

I can't sleep at night
I don't wanna fight
My best friend is I
I'm so selfish

Guess I'm in denial
Maybe I'm wrong, you're right
Heard it all my life
I'm so selfish

Ah ah ah ah huh
I'm so selfish
Ah ah ah ah huh
I'm so selfish
Selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish
