Testi

Selfless
See many have all that they need and want more than that
Say it's 'cause they're driven, should we be applauding that?
Life is something that I approach laid back
But where else could you be on the torture rack?
More dramatics of the amateur variety
You lie to yourself but can't lie to me
A web of deceit, real is what I'm tryna be
I mean, I don't even wanna lie to sleep
Nights will creep fast, you see your days pass
Break promises and yes we break hearts
Break laws, brake for red lights
Stuck in life's traffic like deer in the headlights
Remembering the best times endlessly
Stuck like happiness is just a memory
So I treat today like the future and live in it
And treat the good from the past like it still exists
Words of wisdom I heard from a distance, instinct kicks in
Saying we can't live like this lifeless
Let light in and seek clarity, love's priceless
Sweet parody, I love you, please marry me
Come and carry me, away
Carry me away, I just wanna drift
To another place, further than this
Yo there's so many times that I've been alone
And now I wanna share everything I own
I'm tryna be selfless
I'm tryna think about myself less
I'm tryna be selfless
I'm tryna think about myself less
Life ain't always what it seems
See when you feel down sometimes you're at your peak
And why's that? That's when you have to be at your best
And strong enough to fight free from the hands of stress
A man possessed, a woman of conviction
A people of belief, a children with a vision
You see we borrowed this planet from our kids
As they do from theirs but man who cares?
Who shares? Everybody's so selfish
And benefits reach few and leave many helpless
As long as ideas are well pitched
Compared to this, I don't know maybe Hell's bliss
Or maybe Hell's just a state of mind
The fear we feel, when tryna escape the life
That we hate living, you gotta stay with it
Find your place in it, yeah we love to play cynic
I'd rather that you understand it than praising it
'Cause sometimes fans are just blades spinning
But still I'm so grateful you hit play
Wonder how did my life twist round this way
Can't live like this, lifeless
Let light in and seek clarity, love's priceless
Sweet parody, I love you, please marry me
And carry me, away
Carry me away, I just wanna drift
To another place, further than this
Yo there's so many times that I've been alone
And now I wanna share everything I own
I'm tryna be selfless
I'm tryna think about myself less
I'm tryna be selfless
I'm tryna think about myself less
Selfless, selfless
Selfless, selfless
Selfless, selfless
We living for the now, we learning from the past
We hoping for the best in the future as we ask
For our wishes to be granted, appreciate the blessings
We accepting all the losses 'cause we take it as a lesson
Never stressing on the things we can't change
Well maybe for a second 'til we reevaluate and change the direction
We heading in, they tryna trick us with their meddling
But given time man will see who the Devil is
Remember this, unite and we destroy them
Avoiding all their traps they been tryna feed us poison
Slow us down physically, break us down mentally
In blood soaked garments, tryna dress presentably
So essentially I guess it's left for us to help us
I'll carry some of your weight if all of mine is held up
And each day we grow, not just every twelve months
If you're down, now's the time, come on get yourself up
