Ego Death

C               C7
I know I got a ego
Fmaj7                      D7
Must be something in my brain
Fmaj7         G7      Cmaj7
If I didn’t, I’d go insane
 C                  C7
I’m sorry I’m an asshole
Fmaj7                  D7
That’s just how the raps go
Fmaj7         G7             Cmaj7
Sorry that I do this shit everyday


[Part II]


[Chorus 1]
   Ab                    Bb
What? Yeah, I’m on my ego death
             Ab            
I had to reassess, I had to 
      Bb
resurrect, yeah
           Ab                Bb
Huh, hey, huh, I just wanna be the 
best
                Ab                 
But I had to reassess, is that why 
       Bb
I’m feelin' less?


[Verse 1]
  Ab                               
Yeah, huh, my songs are bipolar 
       Bb
like Ye, huh (Huh), they think they 
controlling my fate, uh (Ooh, yeah)
Eb                                
Cut all the chatter, no, y'all are
        Gm
 not rappers, you just some 
ad-libbers like, "Ayy," huh (For 
real)
Ab                          Bb
I just pulled up, back in black, 
drop a hit, they react to that (Ooh,
 huh)
Eb                                
Now they see this and they acting 
      Gm
mad (Yeah), like I’m Kanye in a MAGA
 hat, yeah
 Ab                       Bb
I’m so alone, see, I’ve always been 
one and only
       Eb                          
Even back when this gold chain was 
      Gm
made out of macaroni
Ab                            
Now they always askin' me, what 
     Bb
happened to the old me?
    Eb                             
I wish I could’ve told him goodbye,
   Gm
 wish he had known me (Yeah)
 Ab                                
Wish that I could tell you 'bout 
     Bb
how everyone would know you (Uh-huh)
      Eb                           
And tell you it’s worth it, despite
      Gm
 everything they told you
         Ab                        
Cryin' silent in your pillow 
       Bb
sayin', “I wish I was homeschooled” 
(Yeah)
       Eb                    
Too afraid to sing your songs 
               Gm
because you thought that they would 
roast you, yeah
 Ab                  Bb
I was nine, friends told me I would 
go lose (They did)
Continues after the ad
 Eb               Gm
Now it’s time I think I gotta show 
you (Think I gotta show you)
  Ab            Bb                
That’s my mind, say I don’t care, 
      Eb
but I so do
                 Gm                
Having trouble walkin' up a mile in
     Ab
 my own shoes
              Bb                   
Never used to bet on me and now 
            Eb
they like, “I owe you”
                  Gm           
Lookin' back at them like, “The 
                  Ab
fuck? I do not know you”
                Bb              
When I make a milli', mo’fucker, 
        Eb
I'ma show you
               Gm               
What I had to go through to feel 
                Ab
like I’m supposed to


[Bridge]
         Bb
Ego, I don’t need no
 Eb             Gm
Other people in my trio
  Ab                 Bb
Myself, I and me, though, we know
     Eb             Gm         
We don't need no kilos, my watch 
    Ab
frio

Yeah


[Chorus 2]
          Bb
I’m on my ego death
                Ab                 
But I let it breathe again, yeah, I
            Bb
 let it resurrect
       Ab
Yeah, uh (Yeah)
              Bb
I just wanna be the best
                 Ab                
But I had to reassess, is that why 
      Bb
I’m feelin' less? Yeah (Yeah)


[Verse 2]
 Ab                             Bb
On the way, all okay, only a call 
away, feeling like a god on my 
Charlemagne (Huh?)
I really think they want my 
      Eb
presence,
                       Gm
like a holiday (Yeah), but I think I
 need to learn when to walk away (I 
do)
 Ab                                
Man, I got so many problems, but I 
        Bb
wanna stay without acknowledgin' how
 often I have gone astray (Yeah)
 Eb
First step is denial, but I’m over 
that
Gm                                
And I’ve accepted it already, but 
              Ab                Bb
it holds me back, yeah, back, yeah
Slurring my words I been moving too 
 Eb                       Gm
fast, yeah (Okay), fast, yeah
Maybe I don’t wanna share it like 
  Ab                Bb
that, yeah (Uh), that’s facts, yeah
I need to stop checking all of the 
 Eb                    Gm
stats, like that, like that, yeah, 
ayy (Yeah)


[Chorus]
Ab          Bb
I’m on my ego death
              Ab           
I had to reassess, I had to 
    Bb
resurrect, yeah
       Ab                   Bb
Huh, hey, huh, I just wanna be the 
best
               Ab                  
But I had to reassess, is that why 
       Bb
I’m feelin' less? Yeah


[Verse 3]
Ab                     Bb
I got fourty-thousand comments this 
week
                 Ab                
At least five-thousand said that I 
               Bb
should kill myself, I’m a freak
           Ab                      
I’m too weak, I'm a leech, and all 
                  Bb
my music fuckin' sucks, I’m a geek
        Ab                       
I’m everythin' they want me to be 
                   Bb
and that’s the problem with me
               Ab                  
So when they say you got a ego, 
         Bb
tell 'em, "Thank the fuckin' Lord"
                 Eb           
'Cause if you didn’t, you’d be 
                       Gm
suffering, you’d be stuck there on 
the floor with nothin' more
Ab                     Bb
At least I’m out here smilin' in the
 quicksand
           Eb                      
Take your head out of that pillow, 
          Gm
one day, you gon' be the big man

Yeah

In the dark
                  Gm           Fm
I stare into mirrors for hours
    Bb              Eb
Until I can’t recognize myself
   Fm              Eb
A dissonant reflection
         Fm                
Both a sober and a sobering 
      Eb
hallucination
