Death Ego Lyrics by JAY RUKAS

Before We Move Forward

2019

(Chorus)(x2)
I should only make you cry tears of joy
I'mma have to kill my ego
It be getting in the way, way, way, way, way
It be out of line sometimes baby
I know the consequences of it
I know
(Verse)
I see what it's done to us
I see what it's done to you
You feel like you can't say nothing to me
Without me just using it against you
I say things before I really think it through
I never intended to even embarrass you out in public
In front of your friends to
You probably just hate me for it
Baby I don't blame you
I need freedom from myself
And all you need is peace, peace, peace
I ain't giving you what you need
I ain't practicing what I preach
Now, I need you to be patient cause I gotta work on myself
I guess you never know your flaws until you're with someone else
I prefer to be honest and never lie to you
When I speak my truth it always triggers you
If I don't react I don't lack gratitude
(No, no, no, no, hey)
Let me set that straight
I foresaw this whole thing way before the break
It's hard for me to look you in your face
I been picking up habits, I ain't respect the space
Now what can I say? - My bad, my apologies
My intuition never lie to me
A break never broke my loyalty
But it really broke a part of me
(Bridge)
Whoa, whoa, whoa that parts massive
Now I'm reaping all the damage
Charge it to my ego, death tax it
Hey, yeah death tax it
Whoa, whoa, whoa that's massive
I been reaping all the damage
Charge it to my ego, death tax it
I know, I know, I know
(Chorus)(x2)
I should only make you cry tears of joy
I'mma have to kill my ego
It be getting in the way, way, way, way, way
It be out of line sometimes baby
I know the consequences of it
I know
