Selfless

I was so selfless I'd give you what's mine but when I was low you never ever gave me the time the world has its tendency to chew you up and spit you out take all your energy and leave you when your down

I was so selfless, I'd give up my life, I'd give up what's mine, but now I'm feeling selfish

cause niggas didn't help me back when the world chewed and spit me out, cause a nigga fell like the antichrist, and I had to climb out of a well, and now I'm doing better than well, and now I'm running around causing this hell, better living free than living in a cell, and now I'm only counting on self, cause I never was good, I'm counting on help, especially when it never came, winter so cold frost bit, couldn't numb the pain, I felt so helpless, I couldn't even help my mama's pain, cause I was adapting to change, and they wasn't adapting to change, all they wanted was attention and fame, when it was dark for you, I gave you my light, when it was dark for you, I gave you a

reason to fight, when shit got dark for me, niggas took flight, they just forgot I was always good on my own, cause God never left me alone, stranded or abandoned, that's why I'm here still standing

I was so selfless I'd give you what's mine but when I was low you never ever gave me the time the world has its tendency to chew you up and spit you out take all your energy and leave you when your down

I was giving niggas a hand up, and they took a bite, cause niggas couldn't ever man up, they tried taking all of my energy, so I had to square up, and put them in they place, cause niggas was two faced, and I couldn't play it safe

duffel bags and suitcase, I was so bad my mama had to send me to new states, cause I copped a new case, and I never told all my mans, I told them you straight, cause I ain't never lie, plus I had an airtight alibi

and when it catch them busters, make sure that they pay, make sure that they feeling my pain, make sure they remember the next time they bring in my name, cause that shit was so prejudiced, they didn't wanna let us live, cause we were young black

they label predators all off of a system that was rigged up against us, and they wonder why a niggas past look messy, just look at the way they pressed me, mad cause I overcame the shit that should've left me damaged, smushed like a sandwich

I was so selfless I'd give you what's mine but when I was low you never ever gave me the time the world has its tendency to chew you up and spit you out take all your energy and leave you when your down
