Famous Amos & 2 B FRANK - Selfish

She want me to spend all my time with her
And in my subconscious mind, I try not to blurt
All the things I'm thinking, on the brink of breaking up
I never thought I'd say this but, I hate the love
I need some time to myself
All that talking got me goin' deaf, and I don't depend on you
So let me go ahead, and turn dough to bread
I'm not afraid, standing firm, like Moses said
But a lot of people scared to be alone, no one wanna come back to an empty home
But there's solace in silence, give a rest to my head
From the noise outside, cause it's a riot
I gotta lotta things going on, and I'm way too busy to think about anything
But what I need, on a real, to succeed, what's the deal?
Wasting most of my time cooking heat, not a meal, uh

I been livin' selfish, I know
Look at how I'm blowin' my dough
Maybe I just like it though
When I'm all by my solo
I been livin' selfish, I know
Look at how I'm blowin' my dough
Maybe I just like it though
When I'm all by my solo

I know I'm selfish, but I'm helpless
When I see it, I need it
Ain't no tellin', what it will be, but as long as I breathe, greed will haunt me
I wanna give, I wanna live differently than how
American consumerism tells me to be, it's not healthy
How can I be free? My heart it bleeds
But still, I see it, I want it, I gotta have it, and flaunt it, taunt it
Walking around like "Oh you ain't got it? the newest?, the hottest?"
I already bought it, they like what I got
I can tell when they nodding, they can tell I'm him, and they're not it
But really, I'm just livin' in sin
Putting faith in these things
The short term joy it brings, my dopamine sings
But then I move on to the next bit of bling
I'm selfish

I been livin' selfish, I know
Look at how I'm blowin' my dough
Maybe I just like it though
When I'm all by my solo
I been livin' selfish, I know
Look at how I'm blowin' my dough
Maybe I just like it though
When I'm all by my solo
(I've been livin')
Selfish, I know, look at how I'm blowin' my dough
Maybe I just like it though when I'm all by my solo
I been livin' selfish, I know
Look at how I'm blowin' my dough (So selfish, so selfish)
Maybe I like it though
When I'm all by my solo

I hate you, and everyone you represent
Entitled, selfish, spoiled children
(Maybe I like it though)
Blissfully untrained, unversed and
Unprepared to even attempt real art
