Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
[Intro]
D C
Ladies and gentlemen, Sekken Thaughtz on the beat
D C
(And you know how I feel) Big up to Lace Cadence
Good lookin' out for this one, man
[Verse 1]
D
I love hip-hop music, I just hate the ego
C
The politics that follow it, getting caught in it can be lethal
D
See I love the community, 'cause a community will embrace you
C
But you turn it back the community is the people that will hate you
D
See everybody's striving for that same shit
C
To get paid and make it, and I'ma be honest, I'm tryna become famous
D
When someone makes a move watch that person next to you
C
Cause I'll warn ya, I love Hova but jealousy's The Takeover
D
Here come the mean mugs "I can't do what he does"
C
And where does that lead us? To the ego that feeds us
D
I wish that I could just do what I do
C
But when a door opens for him I'm afraid there won't be enough room
D
Comparison's a mother fucker
C
Like MLK said, "We all want that band leader syndrome and it won't stop"
D
This concept makes me wonder, is it the commodity
D
Of the music or the ego that is killing hip-hop?
(And you know how I feel)
[Chorus]
It's the ego that makes me not give respect in dap
C
It's the ego that makes me talk shit behind people's back
D
You know that it's the ego that's constantly polluting my consciousness
C
So ingrained in my brain that I can barely even acknowledge it
D
It's the ego that makes the present moment jet lagged
C
I said it's the ego that has me trippin' about the next man
D
You know that it's the ego that makes me not go to the front
C
Of the show cause the performers have exactly what I want
[Verse 2]
D
"I'm so cool"
For real?
You know dude, I'm serious spit it different and if you just flow too
I'll listen lookin' for glitches and rip 'em to shove improve
C
That my rhythm's a little bit more intricate, just to boost
D
My ego, it's so evil
C
Threatened by so many different kinds of people
D
It seems that if you're going through somethin' and life is feeling uncomfortable
C
The immediate place you go is to your ego to comfort you
D
When Boom Bap got signed I hated on him
C
When Grayskul got signed I hated Onry
D
And that's hard to admit, but since I'm really being honest
C
I wanted to be one of the first to make it as a Northwest rap artist
D
Instead of taking it as a plus for my region
C
I took it as a cut to my dreams of makin' it out of this political scene of
D C
Northwest haters to be next, I guess I'm just like them
Jealous of who's taking that step
[Chorus]
D
It's the ego that makes me not give respect in dap
C
It's the ego that makes me talk shit behind people's back
D
You know that it's the ego that's constantly polluting my consciousness
C
So ingrained in my brain that I can barely even acknowledge it
D
It's the ego that makes the present moment jet lagged
C
I said it's the ego that has me trippin' about the next man
D
You know that it's the ego that makes me not go to the front
C
Of the show cause the performers have exactly what I want
[Verse 3]
D
Now everybody got one but people trying to front
C
Claiming that they on the humble but cocky
D
Now it comes up when we judge, or are threatened by someone
C
But everyone still be like "man that's not me"
D
Now let me break it down son
C
It's only a lack of love for ourselves
Cause we're submerged in "I gotta be"
D
The best or number one, but it's just that we don't trust
C
In our heart and that's what stops me, it's the ego
