Hey man, you know sometimes you've got to |
|
Listen to your self or not listen to yourself, that's how it is |
|
As you get a little older you start realizing things |
|
Realize it's your ego, it's your ego that's enemy, you know |
|
That's the only thing that can stop you, is your ego |
|
Hey, it's crazy man, but we got you, so listen |
|
My ego had me doing things that |
|
I thought |
|
I'd never do |
|
Like being with another shorty when |
|
I was with you |
|
Unnecessary shopping sprees for things |
|
I didn't need |
|
Maybe it was a little necessary but looking back it was greed |
|
Big chains, big cars, big chips |
|
More things, more girls, long trips |
|
Maybe if I would've thought of it |
|
I would have had a chance to enjoy it |
|
But now I know it was just my ego |
|
My ego was my enemy |
|
I thought it was a friend to me |
|
But it was a curse to me' |
|
Cause it brought out the worst in me |
|
My ego was my enemy |
|
I was flowin' like a man when |
|
I was a boy livin' every man's dream |
|
Spending time at the strip club, to much cream |
|
Nobody couldn't tell me nothin' 'cause |
|
I was feeling myself |
|
Same thing almost cost me my whole life, and all of my wealth |
|
Chicks came and went, |
|
I stayedG'd up 'cause |
|
I was paid |
|
Damn all those games |
|
I playedHey, what more can |
|
I sayBut now |
|
I know it was just my ego |
|
My ego was my enemy |
|
I thought it was a friend to me |
|
But it was a curse to me' |
|
Cause it brought out the worst in me |
|
My ego was my enemy |
|
If I could turn back the hands of time |
|
I wouldn't change a thing' |
|
Cause it made me the man |
|
I am today |
|
But now I know it was just my ego |
|
My ego was my enemy |
|
I thought it was a friend to me |
|
But it was a curse to me' |
|
Cause it brought out the worst in me |
|
My ego was my enemy |
