Things don't always appear as they seem
I wonder how many shadows I can't see
In front of me?
It's not okay if I'm being honest
Been going on far too long and
I've had enough of it
I need to be more selfish
Pay attention to my needs
Your emotions I can't bear to carry
Load's too burdening
I'm learning to get better
Accepting my responsibilities
Pay more attention to my needs
I need to be more selfish
I need to be more selfish
Mmm
I'm not sure when I became okay
Letting everyone's lives get in the way
Get in the way
I don't know what's happening
I don't know what's going on
All I know is that my focus
Is on me
Imma do what I want
Imma do what I please
Stand ten toes down
For my babey, LEEZY
I need to be more selfish
Pay attention to my needs
Your emotions I can't bear to carry
Load's too burdening
I'm learning to get better
Accepting my responsibilities
Pay more attention to my needs
I need to be more selfish
I need to be more selfish
I need to be more selfish
If it feels wrong, I won't do it
I mean what I say and I say what I mean
Trust my instincts, know when to let go
I'm no longer afraid of the word no
You have a choice, just to be clear
Tides have been shifting, the moment is here
I am mine before anyone else's
I need to be more selfish
I need to be more selfish
Pay attention to my needs
Your emotions I can't bear to carry
The load's too burdening
The load's too burdening
I need to be
I need to be
Want to be great, want to be free
Oh ohh ohh
Oh ohh ohh
Both of those things start within me
I need to be
I need to be
Want to be great, want to be free
Oh ohh ohh
Oh ohh ohh
Both of those things start within me
I need to be
I need to be
Want to be great, want to be free
Both of those things start within me
If it feels wrong, I won't do it (No I won't, no I won't, no I won't)
I mean what I say and I say what I mean (Yes, I do, yes, I do, yes, I do)
You have a choice, just to be clear
Tides have been shifting, the moment is here
