Selfish
K-Again Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open your eyes
This ain’t a dream
Stop running away from reality
I know you lost, I know you hurt
Apologize
For what’s its worth don’t be a bitch
Why did you leave pick it up, pick it up aye
Why did you go pick it up, pick it up aye
I just gotta know pick it up, pick it up aye
I just gotta know pick it up, pick it up aye
Why you gotta be so selfish
Why you gotta be so selfish
Why you gotta be so selfish
I know you really can’t help it
To think that I needed you in my life to get by is a false statement
I was running from my past, but I think I’m ready to face it, and embrace it
You were never better than me
Did it for love, and you did this shit competitively
I tore you down and you just got a little bit regressive
Going back to your old ways with your depression
Let me chill
Damn my tone was getting aggressive
Cause it’s funny how these people shoot their words like its a weapon no discretion
You told a lot of lies about the situation
Don’t get mad, I’m speaking facts and now you gotta face it
Cause all that running ain’t gon’ get you nowhere
Its time to tell the truth I know you really don’t care man
Open your eyes
This ain’t a dream
Stop running away from reality
I know you lost, I know you hurt
Apologize
For what’s its worth don’t be a bitch
Why did you leave pick it up, pick it up aye
Why did you go pick it up, pick it up aye
I just gotta know pick it up, pick it up aye
I just gotta know pick it up, pick it up aye
Why you gotta be so selfish
Why you gotta be so selfish
Why you gotta be so selfish
I know you really can’t help it
Look at my life
Look at my dreams
I'm falling down, split at the seams
Look at my life Pick it up, pick it up
Look at my dreams
I'm falling down, split at the seams
Okay I took a chance, rolled the dice, and now I’m hated
They tried to take the credit for the stuff that I created
Ain’t it tragic
They tried to cling on me for satisfaction
Told them get the hell away from me, it will not happen
You dramatic
Stop acting like a bitch and face the truth
You could go back to Devotion, hear what I said up on Ruth
If you could put on my shoes
I guarantee that you will trip
Try to duplicate, but this a shoe that you can’t fit
Don’t need a friend, don’t need a bitch
To tell me how to live my life, that is it
I am out on my own
Four years at number one
I’ve had a lot fun, but next year I think I’m done yeah
Open your eyes
This ain’t a dream
Stop running away from reality
I know you lost, I know you hurt
Apologize
For what’s its worth don’t be a bitch
Why did you leave pick it up, pick it up aye
Why did you go pick it up, pick it up aye
I just gotta know pick it up, pick it up aye
I just gotta know pick it up, pick it up aye
Why you gotta be so selfish
Why you gotta be so selfish
Why you gotta be so selfish
I know you really can’t help it
Look at my life
Look at my dreams
I'm falling down, split at the seams
Look at my life




Look at my dreams
I'm falling down, split at the seams
