Rapper dumbfoundead sings a tale of a broken relationship in his song “Selfish”. Using the instrumentals from Miguel’s Sure Thing, he raps about the psychology of a break up as he reflects on being a selfish man. Is it better to have true love or a relationship of convenience? Is it better to get to really know someone or keeping it superficial.
Look for dumbfoundead’s new album soon.

Lyrics to Selfish by Dumbfoundead
Its 1 am on a Wednesday and I swear im with the baddest chick,
its been months and she aint question what are status is,
I know her g spot, but I don’t really know her,
and she don’t really know me, except I like it slower,
I drink nightly till my vision is a blur,
party till it hurts, now my card is in her purse,
wake up to something that only started with a flirt,
been down this road before, you swear my car was in reverse,
before this girl it was her, and with her I was sure,
till I learned there was no such thing,
now I find myself messin with girls with low self esteem,
heres the person that you painted me to be,
a selfish man, im a selfish man, this song was about you,
now its about me, livin without you, aint hard as I thought it be,
a sefish man, im a selfish man, girl you were good, the new one is better,
she fell for it all, all the bullsh*t I fed her,
the rules I don’t need em, a fool for this freedom,
gave up what I had, true love for convenience,
let it go let it go let it go girl let it go let it go let it go girl
all the problems you had with me go and air it out,
those are problems that this new girl don’t care about,
ya we keep everything on the surface,
ignorance is bliss, and this is damn near perfect,
I needed part time love, wasn’t fit for a career,
call my dark side up, and tell her to bring a blunt, it feels better when we f*ck,
I get mine, she gets hers there will never be an us, im
a selfish man, a selfish man, this song was about you now its about me,
livin without you, aint hard as I thought it be,
a sefish man, im a selfish man, girl you were good, the new one is better,
she fell for it all, all the bullsh*t I fed her,
the rules I don’t need em, a fool for the freedom,
gave up what I had, true love for convenience,
let it go let it go let it go girl let it go let it go let it go girl
I sleep around like im trynna get revenge, hoping that you’ll hurt, but you don’t even flinch,
seen you with your new mans im glad you found your prince, I know his kind I smell the stench,
Of a selfish man, a selfish man, this song was about you now its about me,
livin without you, aint hard as I thought it be,
a sefish man, im a selfish man, girl you were good, the new one is better,
she fell for it all, all the bullsh*t I fed her,
