Selfish (feat. Enkay)

Selfish I'm not a very public guy But this pen might put me in a public eye So they gotta be options if they warn check I History repeats itself i kill that twice Ooo I talk my shit because i never had shit That hating won't work use a different tactic Lemme introduce myself Yea the name IBZ I don't do too much all i do is make I don't ever think i miss check the batting average Made from real struggle nah this ain't no plastic Cut the leeches off I'm cut from a different fabric Had to burn mad bridge use the fire for the page They could never match this Hundred degrees educated highest grade made the labels wanna bag this Ibz works double time he had two shifts Might have to call me Julius the way i father these kids See in this life You have to be Selfish You have to be You have to be Selfish See in this life You have to be Selfish You have to be You have to be Selfish This is Ancestral pain our people were in chains Only difference is now we buss it down to flex gains If i wear a chain am i a hypocrite ? Ironic how i'm educated but my Dads dad was an illiterate Still he raised a man on a mission chasing brilliance It's clear he gave me the same resilience Makes sense Uncomfortable truths i call that growth pain I paved my own lane In my race we all have to hurdle Yea thats selfish time it was me, myself and grind Only right i made it come full circle And to think i made these beats for other artists when i started Fast forward now i shell them like a turtle I chose me decision irreversible I had to bet on me don't take it personal See in this life You have to be Selfish You have to be You have to be Selfish See in this life You have to be Selfish You have to be You have to be Selfish I've been reading these lines For a very long time But i done decided That i only have I I really wanna have me Community But i start a fire Just to feel the heat Overtime i understood why everybody hates chris Mummy rose a flower thats self raising Educated myself about the skin that I'm in Im from a generation where the self hating So i don't care if they don't feel me cos I'm self craving Hating only reflects all the self hatred Who do you believe in when your wealth raising Ironic how you find out when your wealth ain't shit ooo I'm not a very public guy But this pen might put me in a public eye So they gotta be options if they warn check I History repeats itself i kill that twice Ooo I talk my shit because i never had shit That hating won't work use a different tactic Lemme introduce myself Yea the name IBZ I don't do too much all i do is make
