Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you think that I'm selfish
Took a turn now I see you and I can't help it
Never by mind side sometimes I'm Out here looking helpless
Damn it I can't help
If you thinking that I'm selfish
Sometimes I can't help
If you think that I'm selfish
Never by mind side sometimes I'm Out here looking helpless
Damn it I can't help
If you thinking that I'm selfish
Damn it I can't help it Been acting selfish
Use to be the type that say nobody else can help me
Going thru the motions shit I might just Michael Phelps it
Military get to stepping
Learning these lessons
Same nigga with a different leverage
Tryna finesse it
I don't know who you been texting this ain't the message
I just wanna hide the pain if I can't understand it
I don't wanna test myself if I can't learn the lessons
Use to think that I could get away I wouldn't stress it
Focused on the good cause I'm giving you my best shit
Always playing games shawty always tryna test it
Tripping all the time you know I'm leaving like you guessed it
She say she want somebody
That somebody ain't me
I'm selfish I can't hide it
Sit back and I do me
I'm focused I ain't mean
I'm grinding what you mean
Sometimes I can't help
If you think that I'm selfish
Took a turn now I see you and I can't help it
Never by mind side sometimes I'm Out here looking helpless
Damn it I can't help
If you thinking that I'm selfish
Sometimes I can't help
If you think that I'm selfish
Took a turn now I see you and I can't help it
Never by mind side sometimes I'm Out here looking helpless
Damn it I can't help
If you thinking that I'm selfish
The lyrics to G Flex's song "Selfish" reflect a personal struggle with selfishness and the inability to control it. The artist acknowledges that there are moments when they can't help but be selfish, and this has led others to perceive them in a negative light. The line "Took a turn now I see you and I can't help it" suggests that encountering someone they care about has made them more aware of their selfish tendencies. Despite this realization, they sometimes find themselves feeling helpless, unable to overcome their selfishness.
In the second paragraph, the artist delves deeper into their self-centered behavior. They admit to acting selfishly and being reluctant to accept help from others. The mention of "going thru the motions" and comparing themselves to Michael Phelps, a renowned swimmer, implies that they are skilled at navigating difficult situations on their own. However, their self-reliance can be detrimental, as they describe feeling the need to hide their pain and avoid facing challenges. The phrase "same nigga with a different leverage" suggests that although the artist may appear unchanged, they are learning from their experiences and trying to manipulate their circumstances to their advantage.
The third paragraph further emphasizes the artist's self-centered nature. They express a desire to avoid conflict and stress, and they're focused on presenting their best self. However, this leads to playing mind games and testing the loyalty of others, as mentioned in the line "Always playing games shawty always tryna test it." It's implied that their relationships suffer as a result, and they often end up leaving when conflict arises. The artist acknowledges that their behavior is not what others are looking for in a partner, exclaiming, "She say she want somebody, that somebody ain't me."
In the final paragraph, the artist concludes with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing their struggle with selfishness. They reiterate that they sometimes can't help being perceived as selfish despite their efforts to do better. The phrase "I'm focused, I ain't mean, I'm grinding what you mean" suggests that the artist is driven and determined, but perhaps their dedication to their goals comes at the expense of others. The lyrics overall portray a complex internal battle between self-centeredness and the desire to change and improve relationships.

All I'm saying (no hate to her or anyone btw), but she could possibly be a "lot lizard" (which means; a prostitute) and the term "lot lizard" is US slang and judging by the roads it does look American, possibly South West USA? As spanish is commonly spoken there, and because prostitution is illegal in the majority of the US of course she isn't going to admit that she's a "lot lizard", so of course she's going to say something else especially since she's distressed, right?
Also if she was picking up her kids from school then it's safe to assume that she's in walking distance to a school (so near a school zone), also most big trucks don't go near school zones or are banned altogether so it does seem suspicious that a truck driver wouldn't be paying attention near a school zone, right?
Also why are there only men around her? 84.3% of truckers are men so it makes sense that "lot lizards" would hang around truckers at truck stops, right?
Again, unless we are 100% sure that she isn't a "lot lizard" then as far as we know her being a lot lizard could be factually true. But without proper context and trusted sources then all we have to go off is that caption and the person who wrote that is probably the person who recorded it and as an eyewitness it's his word against ours.
But I do hope she makes a speedy recovery 🙏

People this was never a prostitute or lot lizard. This is being taken out of context … she was on the way to pick up her daughter from school. You could hear her screaming that in Spanish this was something else going on but unfortunately this is what people on the Internet do.
