Egos Lyrics by Zi

2011

[Verse 1: Zi]
From the country to the suburbs and the slums
Men and our ego got us acting kind of dumb
‘Cause it’s die as a man can’t be living as a punk
You’re messing with a man’s pride you can end up in a trunk
We’re not the type that you’re gon’ see running
Feel the heat coming mean mugging
Start a fight for practically nothing
The streets love it in need of it
Being the toughest’s not much but at least it makes me something
I got gorillas on my side if you try to diss
It’s ride or die fuck the politics
And fuck the peace talk that Bambaataa shit
I’m a man with pride why should I swallow it
I ain’t a killer but don’t push me plus I’m mad stressed
You say the wrong thing it’s jab right jab left
Talking shit you gotta back it up what you expect
It’s sad how it starts with an argument and ends up with a death threat
But I’m a king without a queen
Plus I’m lacking material things
So all I got left is my self esteem
Pull out the weaponry I can’t let it be
I can’t let another mother fucker get the best of me

[Verse 2: Zi]
See my ego would say don’t fuck with me if it could talk
Dictating everything from the way I dress to the way I should walk
Gotta avoid anything that would make me look soft
Gotta be a bad mother fucker though I got a good heart
Your feelings gotta hide real men don’t cry
And if we do it’s in the dark in the light we alright
God knows I know it’s stupid and it’s not wise
But I don’t know if I would teach my son otherwise
‘Cause it’s a cold world and only the strong survive
See my own girl wonders what I hold inside
Can’t stand the possibility of being told a lie
‘Cause I’m a man with pride you don’t do shit like that
You don’t pick up and leave and leave me sick like that
But we don’t show it we get up and fight right back
‘Cause I’m the man I’m the shit yeah I’m nice like that hein

[Verse 3: Zi]
We work out like we’re getting ready to go to war
And brag about all the stuff we can afford
But the truth is the more you’re talking shit the more you’re insecure
We count chicks knockouts money and awards
‘Cause anything that can feed our ego we collect
And we confuse fear with respect ‘cause it has the same effect
Black T black jeans hoodie red
Your ego will haunt you if you can’t make the pussy wet
Your ego will make you lie to yourself thinking that you’re Gotti
Stuck in this shit yelling I don’t need nobody
You’re stagnating but you’re screaming y’all can’t stop me
See we could do so much together but you’re blinded by yourself
Acting like you’re too big for a little bit of help
And if you’re the shit quit the yapping it should speak for itself
Life will teach you that humility prevails
