Self Righteous
Bryson Tiller Lyrics

Got something to say, yeah
I have something to say.

I know it's easy to love me
I understand that it's simple for you to love me.

Thought it was better this way
I believed it was better if things were this way.

Oh trust me baby it's hard
Believe me, baby, it's tough.

Tried to give it up, I've tried to baby, it's tough
I've attempted to stop, but it's not easy, baby.

I guess it's my fault, I know what's up
It's my responsibility, and I understand the situation.

Baby we used to fuck
Baby, we used to have sex.

From now on we make love
Now, we'll be more romantic when we are intimate.

Girl let's catch up, phone calls ain't enough
Let's meet in person; phone calls aren't sufficient.

That's where I messed up, I should've kept in touch
I made a mistake; I should've stayed in contact.

Cause I ain't the type that will hit it and quit it
I'm not the type to have sex and then disappear.

Even if it's mine, even if it isn't
It doesn't matter if you're my child's mother or not.

Take them trips and pay yo' ass a visit
I'll go on trips to come see you.

Gave you a portion but you needed more, needed more
I gave you something but you wanted more than that.

Now you won't even call me no more
You don't even call me anymore.

Ain't laying naked in my sheets no more
You're not naked in my bed anymore.

I guess you ain't a freak no more
You're not as sexually adventurous as you used to be.

Sex more, that's what I was on
All I wanted was sex.

Talk less, that's what I was on
I wasn't interested in talking much.

Selfish, baby I know, I know
I'm selfish, and I recognize that.

Quick to admit it when I'm wrong
I'm fast to apologize when I make a mistake.

Instead I was leading you on
Instead, I was misleading you.

Now it's fuck me and leave you alone
Now you want nothing to do with me.

Come love me, I need you at home
Come home and love me; I need you.

It's somethin' about the way you scream and you moan
I love the way you sound when we're intimate.

Now I'm the one who's been treating you wrong
Now, I'm the one who hasn't been treating you well.

Contradicting all the things I've been preaching in songs, oh
I'm saying the opposite of what I sing in my music.

Shit was going good girl
Things were great, girl.

Now it's looking bad girl
Now, things aren't looking good, girl.

Can we take it back girl?
Can we go back to how things were?

You gave me a task girl
You gave me a challenge, girl.

Go clean up my act girl
Go change my ways, girl.

Done that, where you at girl?
I've changed, but where are you, girl?

Would you mind, would you mind
Would you have a problem with it?

Would you mind if I?
Would it bother you if I...?

Come do the things that you like
I want to do what you enjoy.

What you like, what you like
Tell me what you like.

I know what you like
I know what you enjoy.

Who else gon' get you right but me
Who else will treat you well if not me?

Don't know when I'm finna wife it
I don't know when I'm going to marry you.

I still ain't decided
I haven't made up my mind yet.

Better make up my mind quick
I need to make a decision soon.

'Fore a nigga come and swipe it
Before someone else takes you away from me.

Know I sound a lil' self righteous
I recognize that I sound a bit self-righteous.

Yeah, but there ain't nothin' else like it
But there's nothing else like this feeling.

Anything else bad for your health
Anything else is detrimental to your health.

I've been checking you profile to see if you recited this
I've been looking at your social media to see if you mentioned this.

I got a lot more where that came from
I have more to say.

You got a Tumblr too, I gotta make one
You have a Tumblr profile, so I need to make one as well.

I've been peepin' hard, on some stalking shit
I've been looking closely, like a stalker.

I'm feening hard, that's the obvious, yeah
I'm craving intimacy with you, it's evident.

But you know I won't mind if we were just fuckin'
But you know I would be okay with just having sex.

Feelin' on somethin', talking 'bout nothin'
Touching each other and not really saying anything.

Then maybe later you and I discuss it
Then perhaps we could talk about it in the future.

Do you feel like I do, can I know?
Do you feel the same way I do? Can I know?

Clearly baby It's you that I want
It's clear that I want you, baby.

Listen, I don't wanna confuse you
Listen, I don't want to mislead you.

Don't ever think that I use you
Don't ever think that I'm taking advantage of you.

Give me one more chance, I'll prove you wrong
Give me another opportunity; I'll show you I'm different.

How you want it to go, we can do this slow
How do you want to proceed? We can take it slowly.

Pick up where we left off, I don't wanna lose it, no
Let's pick up where we left off; I don't want to lose it.

This for life, baby, you should know, you should know
This is for life, baby. You should be aware of that.

Baby I know
Baby, I understand.
