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
