Selfish

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't do nun but be myself
Can't do nun but be myself
I'm in love with myself
Don't wanna be nobody else
It's obvious to see they watch me
Get inspired but don't copy
You just need to be yourself
You just need to be yourself

These bitches cloning me
I wasn't born with a twin
Bih who you sposed to be
I do not know who that is
What these bitches lackin
Is called originality
Looking like a real bad
Broke ass version of me
I'm selfish
Not my fault I really can't help it
You really out here
Looking desperate
You get more out of
Being yourself then tryna be
Somebody else it's embarrassing
Cause you're yourself and you Don't even wanna be
So why would I wanna be you
When bitch I'm me

I can't do nun but be myself
Can't do nun but be myself
I'm in love with myself
Don't wanna be nobody else
It's obvious to see they watch me
Get inspired but don't copy
You just need to be yourself
You just need to be yourself

I mite let you
Accept awards on my behalf
You not as real as me
No not even half
And Half these bitches
Don't even take baths
Tryna compete wit me
Don't make me laugh
First of all to win it
Gotta be authentic
Either way you spin it
You just a copy
How you doing me
And doing sloppy
Cum here I'll teach you
Let me show you how to rock it Ugh
Don't call you sis
I call you sus
Cuz you suspect
How we become bffs
When we just met
Please don't get to close to me
With all do respect
I'm feeling like it's
Hammer time now
You can't touch this

I can't do nun but be myself
Can't do nun but be myself
I'm in love with myself
Don't wanna be nobody else
It's obvious to see they watch me
Get inspired but don't copy
You just need to be yourself
You just need to be yourself

Can you tell me
Where the hell were you
Niggas when I needed help
If you want sum done right
You gotta do it yourself
I'm cut raw cut version
No effects
You... Looking like the reject
Everything you doing
I done did that
They stealing from me already
I ain't in yet

I can't do nun but be myself
Can't do nun but be myself
I'm in love with myself
Don't wanna be nobody else
It's obvious to see they watch me
Get inspired but don't copy




You just need to be yourself
You just need to be yourself
