Tink Selfish

Illinois rapper and singer Tink has largely stayed out of the music game this year, though not without reason. After releasing two full-length albums last year along with a handful of singles, she definitely earned a bit of a break. However, the 26-year-old artist has come back strong with “Selfish” featuring Yung Bleu — a track perfectly suited for long summer nights.

The song presents itself much like its hit Summer R&B predecessors (think “Go Crazy” by Chris Brown and Young Thug or “No Guidance” by Drake and Chris Brown) with help from Hitmaka, who constructs a pleasantly simple and bouncy beat. This creates the perfect canvas by which Tink can glide across the track with endearing melodies that prove to be catchy. Her lyrics only serve to enhance the vibe she’s created, as “Selfish” finds Tink in the midst of a passionate relationship.

Yung Bleu also does his thing on the track, excelling at the standard Tink had set and showing off some of his best writing yet. After his feature, Tink truly shines as the track breaks down and the production slows down. The Illinois rapper breaks into an intimate and direct rap verse pleading with a distant lover.

[Chorus: Tink]
Maybe I’ll just be selfish
Maybe I don’t wanna help it
Do that dance for me and let me look at you
Run it back for me, can’t never get enough
Maybe I’ll just be selfish
Maybe I don’t wanna help it
Do that dance for me and let me look at you
Run it back for me, can’t never get enough (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 1: Tink]
Ain’t no brakes, need a taste whenever I’m next to you (You)
Put your hands on my waist, pull me close, make me feel it all
Know you’re back where bed at (Bed)
Wrap my legs ’round your head (Head)
We don’t gotta play no more
Know it’s all for you tonight
Make it rain for you, hope your bed waterproof tonight (Yeah)
Hope you can take it all

[Chorus: Tink]
Maybe I’ll just be selfish
Maybe I don’t wanna help it
Do that dance for me and let me look at you
Run it back for me, can’t never get enough
Maybe I’ll just be selfish
Maybe I don’t wanna help it
Do that dance for me and let me look at you
Run it back for me, can’t never get enough (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2: Yung Bleu]
Run it back
Hey, I need you to myself because I’m selfish (So selfish)
I don’t need nobody else, I got a fetish (I got a fetish)
I put them diamonds on your finger like we married (Hey)
That’s why I never fell in love ’cause that shit scary
And I heard you found another nigga, guess you leveled up (Guess you leveled up)
Now she can’t get me back, I guess that’s what she settled for (She settled for)
Real love is hard to find, this time I wish you better luck (Yeah)
Yeah, now I got you drunk as fuck (Fuck)
In the back of this truck (Skrr)
Talking ’bout how he fucked up, now you wanna be cuffed up with me (Oh)
She can’t get her hands off (Yeah)
Before you leave just call me Vandross

[Chorus: Tink, Tink & Yung Bleu]
Maybe I’ll just be selfish
Maybe I don’t wanna help it (I don’t wanna help it)
Do that dance for me and let me look at you
Run it back for me, can’t never get enough
Maybe I’ll just be selfish (Woo)
Maybe I don’t wanna help it (Ooh, ooh)
Do that dance for me and let me look at you
Run it back for me, can’t never get enough (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ooh-woah)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 3: Tink]
Just look at me
Look at me how you be lookin’ at your phone
Look at me how you be lookin’ at these hoes
When you scroll and you double-tap they post
You look at them how you used to look at me when I was all you want
I was back at home when you hit my phone, tellin’ me, “When you
Come to my city, we gon’ get it on”
Then I told you, “You should book a flight to try to set the tone”
You flew me out, fed me and fucked me then you left me alone
You ain’t even have to do all that
Could’ve told me what you wanted, I was cool with that
Instead, you played with my emotions, got a real bitch to open up
And every time you do it, I give you a pass, but uh
I figured out your foolery
You out here livin’ off a bitch, you ain’t got shit on me
One day you gon’ find out God ain’t make two of me
And that’s the day you gon’ realize ain’t no more you and me, fuck nigga
