Selfish
Selfish Desires Unraveled: A Deep Dive into Rebecca Winter's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
You dey do like we be strangers
You act as if we are strangers
The hole your digging is getting deeper
The hole you're digging is getting deeper (metaphorically, likely referring to a problematic situation)
Everything a man would want (I gave)
I provided everything a man would want
Attention over overload (I gave)
I gave an overload of attention
But you would rather do me wrong (Again)
Despite my efforts, you prefer to mistreat me again
Uh, I really thought you had what I needed
I genuinely believed you possessed what I needed
I swear to God boy you're so conceited, yeah
I swear, you're incredibly self-centered
Why you so selfish
Questioning why you are so selfish
You wan leave me hopeless (uh)
You want to leave me feeling hopeless
You so selfish
Reiteration of your selfish nature
Uh W-W-Why you so selfish
Expressing confusion about your extreme selfishness
You wan leave me hopeless (uh)
You want to leave me feeling hopeless (repeated)
You so selfish
Reiteration of your selfish nature (repeated)
This situation no be small ting at all
Describing the situation as a significant issue
Imagine giving all you’ve got and
Imagine giving your all and receiving nothing in return
Getting nothing in return, ah yeah
Emphasizing the lack of reciprocation
As you see me so I dey my Element now
Currently, I am in my element or true self
It’s a shame we went this way
Expressing regret for the current state of the relationship
Cuz I thought you (yeah)
Continuation of expressing disappointment in you
I really thought you had what I needed
Reiteration of the belief that you had what was needed
I swear to God Boy you're so conceited, yeah
Reiterating the view that you are conceited
Why you so selfish
Questioning why you are so selfish (repeated)
You wan leave me hopeless (uh)
You want to leave me feeling hopeless (repeated)
You so selfish
Reiteration of your selfish nature (repeated)
Uh W-W-Why you so selfish
Repetition of the question about your selfishness
You wan leave me hopeless (uh)
You want to leave me feeling hopeless (repeated)
You so selfish
Reiteration of your selfish nature (repeated)
Why you so selfish
Continuing to question why you are so selfish
You wan leave me hopeless (uh)
You want to leave me feeling hopeless (repeated)
You so selfish
Reiteration of your selfish nature (repeated)
Uh W-W-Why you so selfish
Continuing to express confusion about your extreme selfishness
You wan leave me hopeless (uh)
You want to leave me feeling hopeless (repeated)
You so selfish
Final repetition of the view that you are selfish
