You ever notice… Some people treat strangers better than their own blood? That ain’t kindness. That’s distance disguised as decency. You might be selfish if your plans don’t include no one else If your prayers stop short at your own health If your calendar’s full but your table’s bare If you got time for ambition but none to share You might be selfish if “I earned this” is your shield But the ones who raised you still feel unseen If legacy means comfort instead of care If your future’s funded but your children ain’t prepared You might be selfish, if… You call it wisdom but it’s built on fear You might be selfish, if… You save your life but leave no one clear You might be selfish if retirement’s the finish line While your family’s stuck tryna read the signs If you stored up barns but forgot the seeds If you planned your exit but not their needs Scripture warned about this, plain and slow Man who hoarded grain lost his soul Called him a fool, not ‘cause he worked But ‘cause he stopped where love should’ve hurt Providing ain’t just money. And sacrifice ain’t just overtime. If your success costs connection, You didn’t win - you just survived. You might be selfish if you say “that’s on them” But you were supposed to teach, not condemn If correction feels like control And pride’s been sitting on the throne If you expect respect but won’t listen back If you preach responsibility but dodge the facts If your comfort’s king and inconvenience is sin You might not be evil - just locked within You might be selfish, if… Your dreams don’t make room for more You might be selfish, if… You built a house but closed the door Selfishness ain’t loud. It’s quiet. Polite. Well-planned. But love? Love leaves a trail others can follow. ... Next track… Selfless.
