Ego

[Verse 1] Fasten your seatbelt I feel there's some things that need discussin' with my ego So just bear with me Now that I'm legal, it's my responsibility to turn away from evil But just bear with me Couple things that I'm not proud of Never been a coward, but I'm deffo guilty of some carelessness It's a discussion with my ego, even though we go to war, he's my amigo You can bear witness Keep it one hundred for my heart I'm smart, still I've been walkin' in the dark In the night, I hear you bark And I won't lie, it's been hard Though I keep you in the garden Just remember you'rе my dog And this one's deep, deep The kinda deep that makes a tеar roll down your left cheek The kinda deep that makes you feel insignificant The kinda deep that makes you look around and feel real weak On my life, I might just need a second 'Cause the truth is, I was so reliant on you I was feedin' you before I fed me, I was dyin' on you Not sayin' you changed, I'm sayin' I went quiet on you What do you do when your ego turns to a giant on you? Like I was there the day you made us cheat I seen it all, I seen you steady pullin' off them sheets Then you threw them on the bed, had them callin' man a beast For a moment of pleasure, we made a heart bleed Like I was there, but I was scared to speak 'Cause you make yourself destructive, and I didn't need the heat Like I didn't need the drama, I just wanted to be free That's why I got into the business of speakin' over beats It was me out on them cold nights, graftin' in the breeze It was me out on that old bike, peddling that cheese Like I'm the one that dug the hole to bury all that peace Like I'm the one that's diligent, the one that thinks he's me I feel like you're dangerous, and your anger's not controlled I feel like the pain has put my confidence on hold There's no doubt that you're popular, they know you on the road But they don't know me, they only know what they've been told [Chorus] Watch 'em boy, watch 'em boy, watch 'em boy, watch 'em Down boy, let me do the talkin', don't touch 'em Bad boy, anytime I'm eatin', stop watchin' When I throw the ball, fetch it I really had to train my ego, I really had to train my ego I really had to train my ego, I really had to train my ego, yeah [Verse 2] Hatin' niggas like to say we changed all of a sudden I had to be myself, I had to train all of a sudden And when we started holdin' onto sticks that weren't wooden We had to leave the gang behind, I know how much you love it But the roads don't love us And what's the point in anything, if in the end you never feel the lovin' of a woman? And the dough can only get us the freedom of our children It's my job to make sure you don't destroy what we're building It was me that turned up to back it when they broken in And it was me to learn to box, you just learn to break a chin And it's like you turn up when it's time to soak it in I'm the one that's stacked the blues until they turned to pink You're my dog and I love you, there's no two ways Now I got the beige LV print on my suitcase Even though we used to hold our jeans up with a shoelace I smile more now, you should get used to our new face There's things I need to tell you now, it's time to be at ease But first, please forgive me for my vulnerabilities The things we had to go through once brought us to our knees But now I'm strong, I need you to believe in me, please It's like I don't want to fight about it I have to be one hundred, I can't lie about it I've got to be an adult, I can't cry about it Even tough these tears should be tattooed I feel kinda dry about it Chattin' to my ego, I have to keep it frank We don't need money no more, we got plenty in the bank No excuse for hurtin' people, instead just let them hang Unless the threat is direct, I don't give a damn Like I don't care that people really want to see us fall Like I'm the one that's thinking straight, I keep us on the ball There's no room for error at this level, let me talk You're my ego and I love you, you will always be my dog [Chorus] Watch 'em boy, watch 'em boy, watch 'em boy, watch 'em Down boy, let me do the talkin', don't touch 'em Bad boy, anytime I'm eatin', stop watchin' When I throw the ball, fetch it I really had to train my ego, I really had to train my ego I really had to train my ego, I really had to train my ego, yeah
