CC7
I know I got a ego
Fmaj7D7
Must be something in my brain
Fmaj7G7Cmaj7
If I didn’t, I’d go insane
CC7
I’m sorry I’m an asshole
Fmaj7D7
That’s just how the raps go
Fmaj7G7Cmaj7
Sorry that I do this shit everyday
[Part II]
[Chorus 1]
AbBb
What? Yeah, I’m on my ego death
AbBb
I had to reassess, I had to resurrect, yeah
AbBb
Huh, hey, huh, I just wanna be the best
AbBb
But I had to reassess, is that why I’m feelin' less?
[Verse 1]
AbBb
Yeah, huh, my songs are bipolar like Ye, huh (Huh), they think they controlling my fate, uh (Ooh, yeah)
EbGm
Cut all the chatter, no, y'all are not rappers, you just some ad-libbers like, "Ayy," huh (For real)
AbBb
I just pulled up, back in black, drop a hit, they react to that (Ooh, huh)
EbGm
Now they see this and they acting mad (Yeah), like I’m Kanye in a MAGA hat, yeah
AbBb
I’m so alone, see, I’ve always been one and only
EbGm
Even back when this gold chain was made out of macaroni
AbBb
Now they always askin' me, what happened to the old me?
EbGm
I wish I could’ve told him goodbye, wish he had known me (Yeah)
AbBb
Wish that I could tell you 'bout how everyone would know you (Uh-huh)
EbGm
And tell you it’s worth it, despite everything they told you
AbBb
Cryin' silent in your pillow sayin', “I wish I was homeschooled” (Yeah)
EbGm
Too afraid to sing your songs because you thought that they would roast you, yeah
AbBb
I was nine, friends told me I would go lose (They did)
EbGm
Now it’s time I think I gotta show you (Think I gotta show you)
AbBbEb
That’s my mind, say I don’t care, but I so do
GmAb
Having trouble walkin' up a mile in my own shoes
BbEb
Never used to bet on me and now they like, “I owe you”
GmAb
Lookin' back at them like, “The fuck? I do not know you”
BbEb
When I make a milli', mo’fucker, I'ma show you
GmAb
What I had to go through to feel like I’m supposed to
[Bridge]
Bb
Ego, I don’t need no
EbGm
Other people in my trio
AbBb
Myself, I and me, though, we know
EbGmAb
We don't need no kilos, my watch frio
Yeah
[Chorus 2]
Bb
I’m on my ego death
AbBb
But I let it breathe again, yeah, I let it resurrect
Ab
Yeah, uh (Yeah)
Bb
I just wanna be the best
AbBb
But I had to reassess, is that why I’m feelin' less? Yeah (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
AbBb
On the way, all okay, only a call away, feeling like a god on my Charlemagne (Huh?)
Eb
I really think they want my presence,
Gm
like a holiday (Yeah), but I think I need to learn when to walk away (I do)
AbBb
Man, I got so many problems, but I wanna stay without acknowledgin' how often I have gone astray (Yeah)
Eb
First step is denial, but I’m over that
GmAbBb
And I’ve accepted it already, but it holds me back, yeah, back, yeah
EbGm
Slurring my words I been moving too fast, yeah (Okay), fast, yeah
AbBb
Maybe I don’t wanna share it like that, yeah (Uh), that’s facts, yeah
EbGm
I need to stop checking all of the stats, like that, like that, yeah, ayy (Yeah)
[Chorus]
AbBb
I’m on my ego death
AbBb
I had to reassess, I had to resurrect, yeah
AbBb
Huh, hey, huh, I just wanna be the best
AbBb
But I had to reassess, is that why I’m feelin' less? Yeah
[Verse 3]
AbBb
I got fourty-thousand comments this week
AbBb
At least five-thousand said that I should kill myself, I’m a freak
AbBb
I’m too weak, I'm a leech, and all my music fuckin' sucks, I’m a geek
AbBb
I’m everythin' they want me to be and that’s the problem with me
AbBb
So when they say you got a ego, tell 'em, "Thank the fuckin' Lord"
EbGm
'Cause if you didn’t, you’d be suffering, you’d be stuck there on the floor with nothin' more
AbBb
At least I’m out here smilin' in the quicksand
EbGm
Take your head out of that pillow, one day, you gon' be the big man
Yeah
[Part III]
[Outro]
Gm
In the dark
GmFm
I stare into mirrors for hours
BbEb
Until I can’t recognize myself
FmEb
A dissonant reflection
FmEb
Both a sober and a sobering hallucination
