Ego Lyrics

Some say that I got an ego

Who me

But they really don't know me though

Don't say that I got an ego

But they really don't know me though

At war with the curse of vanity

Threatening extension, born of my personality

Balancing talents adorned with a verbal tapestry

Traveling the planet armed with the forces after me

Naturally, it's a common consensus

Since I be so def that I be seen as pretentious

That my ego tremendous

Sometimes get the best of me

Tough times when your rhymes stick to minds like telepathy

I transcend it with empathy and a sense of astonishment

At the depth and complexity of existence acknowledging all of it

It ain't modest when we fishing for compliments for the smallest accomplishment

Itching for recognition got you weighing what you're missing

Playing your position creating competition

You turn a friend to a foe feel like everybody lifting

But you staying below victim of the ego

The shadow within us schizophrenically led us to fits of jealousy

Get us to drop guap we don't got for a thick gold link

So we can walk around the block like our shit don't stink ya heard

Some say that I got an ego

Who me

But they really don't know me though

Don't say that I got an ego

But they really don't know me though

I try staying aware of it

I'm conceited and proud and that's just the way of Americans

I need to be loud repeat and tweet like a parrot

And get completely surrounded by those who feeding my arrogance

I'm making sweeping comparisons and to keep from embarrassment

I reject any evidence that competes with my narrative

But I kept an imperative to consider that possibly

We get off being triggered by those with different philosophies

In the name of religion we've committed atrocities

Enslaved in a imprisoned those who don't share our mythologies

Now a nation of Karens with overbearing entitlement

Complaining and swearing they own the air and environment

See we can't be right unless someone is wrong

We need something to fight so we can feel like we're strong

Someone gotta have less to make us feel we got more

Can't feel like we're rich without another who's poor

That's the core, the ego the shadow within us

That go to battle and war convinced they rally against us

Keeping tally and score of every thorn that had pricked us

Schizophrenically torn between form and the witness, bitches

Some say that I got an ego

Who me

But they really don't know me though

Don't say that I got an ego

But they really don't know me though
