Be Selfish

walk alone the world
favours but not for favours
get used feel useless
taken advantage off
all chances lost
be the friend
left to fend
advise with chat
no time for that
stand loyal true
isolate you
believed the best
no people left
catch thief hold 'em
things get stolen
honest to guys
two-faced lies
help them get
in their debt
faithful lover
left for another

I gave but never received back
honesty saw deceit behind back
favours for no return, why'd I do that?

being selfless isn't sell able
they'll rob you like a criminal
loyalty becomes expected
don't respect a mind subjective

people will try to control your life
that's why you should not be nice
once I was selfless now I'm selfish
became fed up with feeling helpless 

people made me not just selfish but nasty
I don't care for you and quick to get ghastly
I've lost my turn a blind eye trait
I'm full on f**king vile mate

All have known me helped corrupt me
Thanks for turning me total nutty
never again try to fonk me
scot free mate, you'd be lucky
