Selfish by Ekaj DaVerbal Miraje Lyrics
[Hook: Ekaj DaVerbal Miraje]
I do it for myself like I'm selfish
Made this my hell, and it's hellish
Stuck down at the bottom with the shellfish
Got this demon that they ain't dealt with
Can't nobody tell me shit
For myself, like I'm selfish
Made this hell, and it's hellish
Stuck at the bottom with the shellfish
Got this demon they ain't dealt with
Can't nobody tell me shit
[Verse 1: Ekaj DaVerbal Miraje]
Hurts to be. All I did, I did for I
With that sword down at my side, know y'all better take my life
That's tonight. I'ma ride. I'ma do it 'til my bones collapse
Fuck a shot o' whiskey, know that liquor only holds me back
I've grown attached, but I'm still lookin' to leave
All this self-doubt can't have a look into me
I'm shook just to breathe
Y'all ain't know me for my roots
I've always been a piece of shit, that's just the truth
Still smashin' the booth. I got it, that's the process
Runnin' up a hunnid checks, mother fuck my progress
Tryna blow it all on some grills and a chain
Took a deal from a devil, signed in blood with my name
But shit ain't change, boy I'm feelin' the same
An endless siphoned energy I'm fillin' with rage
I scribble the page with blanks, and I fill it with hate
I would watch it turn to ash, but still I remain
[Hook: Ekaj DaVerbal Miraje]
For myself, like I'm selfish
Made this my hell, and it's hellish
Stuck down at the bottom with the shellfish
Got this demon that they ain't dealt with
Can't nobody tell me shit
For myself, like I'm selfish
Made this hell, and it's hellish
Stuck at the bottom with the shellfish
Got this demon they ain't dealt with
Can't nobody tell me shit
[Verse 2: Ish1da]
Trapped in this hellscape, system far from fail-safe
Willin' to sell my soul, but wasn't sold by the sell date
They been tryna tell us since we's born that we was worthless
That a purgatory punch-in clock performance was our purpose
I ain't down to fall for that, my people all across the map
A workin' class revolution: only way we solve all that
Fast-forward: never got the dignity we asked for
So the only war I'm willin' to die in is the class war!
Solidarity has become such a rarity
Open up your eyes and see this world with some clarity
You do all the work, so why could they ever give you charity
And I'd die satisfied if this hill is where they bury me
If they say I support it, I will twist in my grave
I will plant this tree, even if I never sit in the shade
I could never be a puppet, my belief is all or nothin'
So that mean I die strugglin', fuck it! I done it for my—
[Hook: Ekaj DaVerbal Miraje]
—self, like I'm selfish
Made this my hell, and it's hellish
Stuck down at the bottom with the shellfish
Got this demon that they ain't dealt with
Can't nobody tell me shit
For myself, like I'm selfish
Made this hell, and it's hellish
Stuck at the bottom with the shellfish
Got this demon they ain't dealt with
Can't nobody tell me shit
I do it for myself like I'm selfish
Made this my hell, and it's hellish
Stuck down at the bottom with the shellfish
Got this demon that they ain't dealt with
Can't nobody tell me shit
For myself, like I'm selfish
Made this hell, and it's hellish
Stuck at the bottom with the shellfish
Got this demon they ain't dealt with
Can't nobody tell me shit
