Selfish
Future ft. Rihanna Lyrics

Oooh, yeah
Excitement and anticipation for what's to come in the song.

It was right
Agreeing with the decision made in their relationship, even though it may have appeared wrong to others.

Even though it felt wrong
Acknowledging that their decision may have been perceived as wrong by others, but it felt right to them.

Nothin' ever stopped you
Regardless of any obstacles that came their way, they never stopped progressing forward.

From showin' your progression suddenly
Their progress was unexpected and sudden but still apparent.

Broken lies
Untruths that have caused damage to their relationship.

Drivin' backwards
Going back to a time when the relationship was not as progressing forward as it is now.

Makin' all the wrong turns
Making the wrong choices that led to a rough patch in the relationship.

Sayin' all the wrong words
Speaking hurtful words that caused damage in the relationship.

Dodgin' angels
Avoiding the right choices and actions that could have saved the relationship.

Oh, let's not be alone
Desiring company and connection in the relationship.

Empty thoughts fill the room
Feeling lonely and unfulfilled in the relationship.

Breathe for me and I'll breathe for you
Making a promise to support each other in the relationship.

Let's be selfish tonight, tonight (selfish, baby tonight)
Encouraging each other to fulfill their own desires and needs for one night.

I just hit the lick, south of France
Celebrating a successful business venture in another country.

Currency exchange, lookin' fancy
Exchanging foreign currency and enjoying the decadent lifestyle that it affords.

If that money dirty, make it dance
Even if the money was obtained illegally, they will still enjoy spending it.

25 karats cost a mansion
Being able to afford a luxurious home with expensive jewelry.

Gold rose petals, bottle standin'
Describing a lavish and luxurious scene.

Came from the concrete, takin' chances
Despite their humble beginnings, they took risks to get to where they are now.

Pop gold Ace like a Xanny
Celebrating with expensive champagne like it's a drug.

I just need the blessin' from your family
Asking for approval and support from a partner's family.

Broken lies, ain't no love without us
Acknowledging that their relationship has been through tough times, but they know that it's love that keeps them together.

It will die, roses turn into dust
If they don't work on the relationship, it will fall apart and fade away.

Every night, we gettin' more popular
Their relationship is gaining more attention and support each day.

Wrong is right, when it comes to us
Despite what others may see as wrong, it's right for them and their relationship.

I'll be selfish
Taking charge of their own needs and desires in the relationship.

Let's be selfish
Encouraging each other to fulfill their own desires and needs in the relationship.

Ohh, ohh
Vocalizing an emotional response.

(Yeah, yeah)
Reinforcing the upbeat tempo and excitement of the song.

Oh, oh oh oh
Vocalizing an emotional response and reinforcing the excitement in the song.

Let's be
Encouraging each other to support their relationship and each other.

Let's be selfish
Encouraging each other to fulfill their own desires and needs in the relationship.

(Yeah, yeah)
Reinforcing the upbeat tempo and excitement of the song.
