dre benn - compa$ion (a selfish song) lyrics
[opening: dre benn]
good evening, everyone
my name is dre benn
and this is a selfish song
[intro: dre benn]
this one for all my people dancing at the club like it’s the weekend
this for all of yall that’s rolling up a blunt and packing beakers
this for everyone who chilling in that parking lot til three
this song is for the children wondering who the f_ck they’ll be
this one for all my people listening to this thru their busted speakers
this for all of you that fending off addiction, fight your demons
this for everyone who ignorantly glorify those streets
this song is for the children, but who need it most is me
[verse 1: dre benn]
park benches
curbside
penitentiary
“don’t got sp_ce, you free to go
no, we’re not helping you b_tches
once you’re out, then you’re out
pick yourself up by your own britches.”
they don’t tell you
most successfully set up for failure
tryna make you think
wealth is work and good behavior
they don’t mention poverty is cyclical in nature
so you free now, but don’t go nowhere to go
how you focus on employment when you don’t got no home?
“rehabilitation just a word
it doesn’t profit enough to work.”
the type of reasoning that these sheltered privileged people use absurd
to me
i believe we all deserve beauty
translation – basic dignity, respect and love truly
transform a motherf_cker
metamorphosize like b_tterfly
came out of the other side
reborn in warmth and understanding
i know the opps already yelling
asking, “where’s your funding?”
“these treatment centers, rapid re_housing won’t get our money
overrun by desperate addicts just surviving til their next fix _
it ain’t our problem, rather go home, turn on some netflix.”
so we spend the evening smoking our weed and streaming life
while another nameless figure od on 3rd and pike
[hook: sabrina tate]
(you’re having trouble getting out?)
yeah, i mean everybody has a story out here, you know
there’s some people that are here because they have a disability
some people are here because of their addictions
[chorus: dre benn]
this one for all my people saying that these homeless people tweaking
this for all of yall ain’t thinking with your head before you speaking
this for everyone who heaping ridicule on those in need
this song is for the children, they copy everything they see
this one for all my people switching their perspective for good reasons
this for all of yall who living like the preacher read ephesians
this for everyone who understand compassion always free
this song is for the children, but who need it most is me
[verse 2: sabrina tate]
(if you had three wishes, what would they be?)
(laughs)
uh, well, one would be to_, to be able to have
actually have a healthy relationship with my family
another one would be to be off the heroin
um, to, you know get the help that i need to get off of it
my third wish would be to find, to find, uh, employment
so i can get, you know
get my life together, get my sh_t together
(laughs)
and you know, tha_, that along with those wishes comes, uh
in order for those to happen, i have to help myself
(well, thank you very much for talking)
no problem, thank you for
thank you for giving me a couple minutes to share my
my story
[chorus: dre benn]
this one for all my people saying that these homeless people tweaking
this for all of yall ain’t thinking with your head before you speaking
this for everyone who heaping ridicule on those in need
this song is for the children, they copy everything they see
this one for all my people switching their perspective for good reasons
this for all of yall who living like the preacher read ephesians
this for everyone who understand compassion always free
this song is for the children, but who need it most is me
