[00:00:00] Written by：Kamaal Fareed

[00:00:32] Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind

[00:00:35] Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind

[00:00:37] Ego ego trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'

[00:00:40] Ego ego

[00:00:42] I got one you got one and now we equal

[00:00:45] Sometimes it makes you trip out on your people

[00:00:48] Sometimes it has connotations of evil

[00:00:51] Sometimes niggas call on it when they need to

[00:00:53] It's called the ego

[00:01:02] Ay it's hard to really make the subject positively stated

[00:01:07] Some may hate it and some may overrate it

[00:01:10] It's a top story and you rarely see a trend

[00:01:12] So all you psychoanalysts pull out your pad and pen

[00:01:15] It's called the ego

[00:01:16] Come up with an idea and no one seems to get it

[00:01:18] Then every time you mention it

[00:01:19] They stare like you're two-headed

[00:01:20] But one day in your cubicle your idea really comes to view

[00:01:23] Your boss is walking by he sees it too and he takes it from you

[00:01:26] She put you on the aces of all the stripper places

[00:01:29] And has the kinda clientele where niggas trick off very well

[00:01:31] You beg her and you plead her and you tuck away your ego

[00:01:34] She knows you need the chicken

[00:01:35] And you know that she's your people

[00:01:37] They call you fat and lazy your commentary crazy

[00:01:39] They photoshop your face on a box of McCormick gravy

[00:01:42] And now that inner voice that ego making you get wavy

[00:01:44] Change your diet hit the gym

[00:01:46] And say What were you saying to me

[00:01:47] The ego makes you do it it makes you face the music

[00:01:50] Or run away from life so fast you'll outsprint Carl Lewis

[00:01:53] It has you think your deceptive ways of being are the truest

[00:01:55] Had the prettiest brown eyes but you change them shits to the bluest

[00:01:58] It's the ego

[00:02:04] O Jack White

[00:02:06] O Jack White

[00:02:09] A celebrated genius my dick game is the meanest

[00:02:12] I'll take the girl that's augmented new me is invented

[00:02:15] I'll take the biggest house in Calabassas

[00:02:18] Anyone for Michael Phelps swimming classes

[00:02:20] You need it when you're balling equally when you're falling

[00:02:22] Or when those kids in school on your locker

[00:02:24] They get to scrawling

[00:02:25] Epithets that's racist is stupid and mean in nature

[00:02:28] Something that can make you feel stronger when people hate ya

[00:02:31] Ego make you violent or govern like a tyrant

[00:02:33] Or switch a dictionary's word from vibrant to vivrant

[00:02:36] Fool the thirsty people selling tap water in bottles

[00:02:39] Fooled a girl with NYU scholarship and now she models

[00:02:42] Ego has no ending has people pretending

[00:02:44] Religious zealots get jealous 'cause guys want their defending

[00:02:47] This is the last Tribe and our ego hopes that you felt us

[00:02:49] And closing for our ego we know only God can help us

[00:02:52] Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind

[00:02:55] Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind

[00:02:58] Ego ego trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'

[00:03:01] Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind

[00:03:03] Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind

[00:03:06] Ego ego trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'

[00:03:09] Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind

[00:03:11] Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind
