Title: SELFISH
Tempo: Mid-tempo Afrobeat (95–105 BPM)
Mood: Reflective, inspirational, emotional
INTRO (Soft piano + guitar)
Oh-oh-oh…
Yeah yeah…
Open your heart…
Don’t hold back the love…
VERSE 1
You have a heart, but you keep it closed,
You have a light, but nobody knows.
You chase the world, you chase your dreams,
But forget the ones who need your wings.
You build your house so high above,
But forget the power of giving love.
A hand you hold, a life you change,
Can bring sunshine after the rain.
PRE-CHORUS
Tell me, what is wealth if you cannot share?
What is success if nobody cares?
Life is a journey, we walk together,
Love is the treasure that lasts forever.
CHORUS (Hook)
Don’t be selfish, open your hands,
Give a little hope, help someone stand.
Don’t be selfish, open your heart,
A little love can make a new start.
Oh-oh-oh, let love flow,
Oh-oh-oh, let kindness show.
What you give will remain,
Love will speak your name.
VERSE 2
You can have gold, you can have fame,
But a lonely heart still feels the pain.
The world remembers the love you gave,
Not just the things that you tried to save.
Someone was there when you were down,
Someone helped you when you lost your ground.
So be the light for someone today,
Give them hope along the way.
BRIDGE (Build-up)
Give a smile, give your time,
Give some love, help someone shine.
We rise together, hand in hand,
A better world begins when we understand.
FINAL CHORUS (Bigger drums + backing vocals)
Don’t be selfish, open your hands,
Give a little hope, help someone stand.
Don’t be selfish, open your heart,
A little love can make a new start.
Oh-oh-oh, let love flow,
Oh-oh-oh, let kindness show.
The greatest wealth we’ll ever know…
Is the love we give before we go.
OUTRO
Don’t be selfish…
Let love flow…
Yeah yeah…
Let love flow…
