Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Especially my fuck up family because to them I don't exist
Due to the life that I was forced to live there's things I can't forget
All I want to say is when become filthy rich, better not ask me for shyt
No you better not ask me for shyt
No you better not ask me for shyt
All I want to say is when become filthy rich, better not ask me for shyt
No you better not ask me for shytNo you better not ask me for shyt
All I want to say is when become filthy rich, better not ask me for shyt
Oh, now I'm selfish, I can't help it
Cause helping others doesn't help when you're held deep under the pits of hell
And the only one to blame here's yourself, for spreading love
But love don't help, how you love the world but don't love yourself
When I'm dead and gone there'll be no love felt
And its no love lost, so go fuck yourself
And I say that with love, such a wasted feeling
Can hardly tell you what love feels like cause around me the love fake but I'm healing
From the mistakes that I made, revealing my heart to these snakes in the field that I'm still in
Feel them stealing my energy away, but I know I'll be ok cause I'm too damn real
And I still am learning that love tends to be a word that people love to toss around
I caught on to their bullshyt lies, now they look in my eyes like I'm the one who's somehow foul
I found out that there was no love round, besides the ones who's probably vibing to this song right now
I had my ups and I had my downs, been gone for so long that I don't think I want to be found
Cause when I was down and out, tell me who was there for me
Besides my brother and my homies, nobody did care for me
My mother was a guarantee, my sister had me amputeed
But that limb lost grew back without some surgery
And to my father I say rest in peace, I'm hoping one day I can really make you proud me
It hurts me that you had to leave, without you, I don't feel part of that family, Like they don't give a damn for me
But it's all good, alright, I still love them from distance
The funny part is if I was to die tonight, who would even know I'm missing
It's not a diss, I'm just keeping real
I'm deep in my feels and feeling they see me as a villainIt's ok cause I'm starting to heal
But in order to understand the wounds, let me tell you what's the deal
I was broke and homeless, completely hopeless
I noticed they kept looking at me like a joke
But I bounced back, focused, just so they can know
That I never needed them, they did me cold
Yo, I'm saying I was broke and homeless, completely hopeless
I noticed they kept looking at me like a joke
But I bounced back, focused, just so they can know
That I never needed them, they did me cold, so
I just want to say fuck everybody out who made me feel like this
Especially my fuck up family because to them I don't exist
Due to the life that I was forced to live there's things I can't forget
All I want to say is when become filthy rich, better not ask me for shyt
No you better not ask me for shyt
No you better not ask me for shyt
All I want to say is when become filthy rich, better not ask me for shyt
No you better not ask me for shyt
No you better not ask me for shyt
All I want to say is when become filthy rich, better not ask me for shyt
Oh, now I'm selfish, I can't help it
Cause helping others doesn't help when you're held deep under the pits of hell
And the only one to blame here's yourself, for spreading love
But love don't help, how you love the world but don't love yourself
When I'm dead and gone there'll be no love felt
And its no love lost, so go fuck yourself, with love
The lyrics to Tayong's song "Selfish" describe a person who is concerned about being true to themselves and not wanting to waste the time of the person they love. The singer recognizes their selfish nature but still hopes to be loved in return. The song embodies the message of wanting to be upfront and honest about not being able to promise anything that they cannot deliver.
In the first verse, the singer expresses their fear of making their loved one cry by not meeting their expectations. They do not want to give false promises but want their partner to love them as much as they love them. The second verse depicts the singer's desires and fun-loving personality. They express wanting to see the sun shining on themselves and their lover while also having a good time.
The chorus conveys that the singer feels grateful for the little things their partner does for them but is remorseful for not expressing gratitude. They acknowledge that they want everything and their partner wants nothing, which might create a sense of guilt within them. Despite calling themselves a selfish brat, the song's tone gives off a sense of vulnerability yet confidence through honesty.
