Ego

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                                 
Northwest haters to be next, I 
            C
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
It's only a lack of love for 
C
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
