Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't sleep at night
I don't wanna fight
My best friend is I
I'm so selfish
Guess I'm in denial
Maybe I'm wrong, you're right
Heard it all my life
I'm so selfish
[Verse 2]
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
I'm so selfish
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
I'm so selfish
[Verse 3]
Got a very big ego
Embedded in me that's the heritage ego
I let 'em hate, they ain't messin' with the steeze though
And now I'm here, can't entertain no bummy ****
Need my **** fresh in a tuxedo
Me and my new case steady blowin' weed smoke
I'm a woman who can teach you a little somethin' 'bout class
Diamonds will forever be a girl's best friend
Everything's imperative for the way I live
I know it's material but not irrelevant
All this here is worked for, not inherited
Tell myself I rate my ****, often never did
Self lovin', need more self lovin'
That's how it goes
They wanna know you when you're buzzin'
But first things first
Number one and priority, call it what you want
Doesn't phase, doesn't bother me honestly
[Verse 4]
I can't sleep at night
I don't wanna fight
My best friend is I
I'm so selfish
Guess I'm in denial
Maybe I'm wrong, you're right
Heard it all my life
I'm so selfish
[Verse 5]
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
I'm so selfish
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
I'm so selfish
[Verse 6]
Love and hate can never be friends
Don't rush everything in this divine time
I peeped you couldn't handle a woman in my caliber
Had to let you mature like some fine wine, yeah
No validation, no applause
You don't have to prove you got it when you know it's yours
I don't wanna feel disloyal for wanting to do me
Then you act brand new when I know the cause, wait
Call it what you like
Till now I ain't never been the selfish type
Till now I ain't ever told nobody no
Don't get it twisted, this shit didn't happen overnight
Still if your life is amazing, what you got to fear?
Can't be concerned about what they're saying over there
I make it clear, don't be in and out 'bout what you hear
They say I always get what I want and it isn't fair
But life isn't fair, go
[Verse 7]
I can't sleep at night
I don't wanna fight
My best friend is I
I'm so selfish
Guess I'm in denial
Maybe I'm wrong, you're right
Heard it all my life
I'm so selfish
[Verse 8]
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
I'm so selfish
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
I'm so selfish
[Verse 9]
Selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish
Selfish
