Selflessness

Opened up my home to you Gave you a chance Girl like me, but a big disappointment Gave you my time, gave you my money But every single line, you crossed, naw homie Then there was a nigga, naw, two or three niggas Needed a bed, needed some food Needed some clothes with no figures So I said, cool, I'll help you through So why you do the things you do One even got sex on the side Bet he thought it was nice Cause the moment I took it away He became cold as ice Stealing my things, stealing my art He got real mad, couldn't steal my heart They say I'm too kind, they say I give too much But now you see why, I be distant as f*ck People want me for what I bring Or what I do, or how I look, or that I'm true oo yeah But I wonder, what's a world without me? If they understand what true selflessness really means I'm just trying to give it, be the best I can be Not wanting a damn thing but to see you happy My savior complex, my savior complex My savior complex, my savior complex And now, a poem I'm convinced of this Good done anywhere is good done everywhere For a change, start by speaking to people Rather than walking by them like They're stones that don't matter As long as you're breathing It's never too late to do some good Maya Angelou
