Selfish

Started from nothing eating 5 minute noodles
Watching Mickeymouse on the couch, no toodles
Had to be a man at 12, that was to soon
Having a good day in the hood was a blue moon
You see
even if life doesn't go as planned
You gotta go where no man can
I swear, people won't understand
I had to face world alone even when I ran
Can't lie that wasn't fun
Dry bread and water in the blazing sun
Ripped between being angry  and being a son to parents who gave non
Of their attention
Or their affection
A little compassion
That's all I was asking
I know I was taxing
Existing was vexing
Like his reaction
When I told him
I was best in
Chess but he was too concern about were Luis Suarez was passing
I'm not asking for a pity potty
I'm saying life ain't easy
And I'm not going to be sorry
For knocking the king off and picking me
