2nd in command - selfish lyrics

intro:

i remember soph0m+re year
one of the best of my life
even tho i shed a lot of tears
in my vision, there was light
there’s a shred of innocence that’s destined to remain
when you’ve never known the pain of staring death in the face
“addiction’s hereditary, you’re destined to waste”
where’s your empathy in that case?
all you’ve ever told me is
chorus:

you don’t need help
you’ve made your h+ll for yourself
you’re always fake, i can tell
one day, you’ll get out your sh+ll
oh, baby, you don’t need help
it won’t last for long, just rebel
it’s all on you to fix yourself
it’s selfish if it’s otherwise, my child

verse 1:

there’s been a pit in my stomach i can’t be rid of as of late
thinking bout how my cousin od’d and saw the pearly gates
thinking bout the trauma it left over was residual
and yet these mother f+ckers dare to call addicts criminals
i’m sick of it, my friends are living it, they been through h+ll
with nicotine just gnawing at em, they can’t ever help themselves
they’ve never hurt another soul, they never will, and yet they’re locked up
the ones who peddle true evil are not us
we are not your boogieman, we are ill and we are tired
yet they’re put under fire, we both wear different attires
we wear jumpsuits+ they wear suits bought off all of us
our lungs will rust, our breath is dust, we’re weak if help is then discussed
we bleed and clog the cuts with sh+t that barely does enough
the quick distractions, broken passions from the stagnation
it’s a bad nation, life sucks and we’re aware of it
we’re not weak for being scared of it
i sacrificed so much sh+t, i learned the lessons through the hardest ways
my darkest days are harbingers for even darkest days
if i seek help, i’m in cuffs
i just know enough will never be enough
ain’t no good around here
chorus:

verse 2:

the times that i recall are times i wish i could forget
like seeing [+++] strewn out in the parking lot, she lost the bet
her veins were filled with substances, her brain and body shut down
skin was sticking to the ice, not sure if help would be enough now
i’m panicking, dialing fore’ her friends came up, smiling
they all said she did this often, she was fine+ i ain’t buying it
knew they were tryna save their own skin, but i knew they carried
closed, under their clothes, i’m wary, i don’t want her buried
so we compromised+
i took her to the nurse across the street
we blended in with the cacophony of steps, made sure she talked to me
i’m scared that if she doesn’t stop, she’s lost and i don’t want to see
her family crying from their daughter dying
we arrived
my heart is pounded, we’re surrounded, other students didn’t realize
when they took her out of my grasp and brought her to her class on time
i stood in shock, i didn’t know what to expect
thought that they would care about her, more or less
in distress, i made my way to [++++]’s office, and told them what they told me
later was informed that she did, in fact, od
made it by a minute to spare, only survived because i was there
he called me a hero because i was there
she’s alive because of me, how lovely
i ain’t no savior, i did what a human should do
her speech is imprinted, that day, i stopped being a child
more then ever, what i wish i could forget is all their smiles
ain’t no good around here
chorus:

outro (cosmo):

oh, baby, you don’t need help
it won’t last for long, just rebel
it’s all on you to fix yourself
it’s selfish if it’s otherwise, my child
