Ego - A Tribe Called Quest[00:00:00]
Written by:Kamaal Fareed[00:00:00]
Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind[00:00:32]
Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind[00:00:35]
Ego ego trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'[00:00:37]
Ego ego[00:00:40]
I got one you got one and now we equal[00:00:42]
Sometimes it makes you trip out on your people[00:00:45]
Sometimes it has connotations of evil[00:00:48]
Sometimes niggas call on it when they need to[00:00:51]
It's called the ego[00:00:53]
Ay it's hard to really make the subject positively stated[00:01:02]
Some may hate it and some may overrate it[00:01:07]
It's a top story and you rarely see a trend[00:01:10]
So all you psychoanalysts pull out your pad and pen[00:01:12]
It's called the ego[00:01:15]
Come up with an idea and no one seems to get it[00:01:16]
Then every time you mention it[00:01:18]
They stare like you're two-headed[00:01:19]
But one day in your cubicle your idea really comes to view[00:01:20]
Your boss is walking by he sees it too and he takes it from you[00:01:23]
She put you on the aces of all the stripper places[00:01:26]
And has the kinda clientele where niggas trick off very well[00:01:29]
You beg her and you plead her and you tuck away your ego[00:01:31]
She knows you need the chicken[00:01:34]
And you know that she's your people[00:01:35]
They call you fat and lazy your commentary crazy[00:01:37]
They photoshop your face on a box of McCormick gravy[00:01:39]
And now that inner voice that ego making you get wavy[00:01:42]
Change your diet hit the gym[00:01:44]
And say What were you saying to me[00:01:46]
The ego makes you do it it makes you face the music[00:01:47]
Or run away from life so fast you'll outsprint Carl Lewis[00:01:50]
It has you think your deceptive ways of being are the truest[00:01:53]
Had the prettiest brown eyes but you change them shits to the bluest[00:01:55]
It's the ego[00:01:58]
O Jack White[00:02:04]
O Jack White[00:02:06]
A celebrated genius my dick game is the meanest[00:02:09]
I'll take the girl that's augmented new me is invented[00:02:12]
I'll take the biggest house in Calabassas[00:02:15]
Anyone for Michael Phelps swimming classes[00:02:18]
You need it when you're balling equally when you're falling[00:02:20]
Or when those kids in school on your locker[00:02:22]
They get to scrawling[00:02:24]
Epithets that's racist is stupid and mean in nature[00:02:25]
Something that can make you feel stronger when people hate ya[00:02:28]
Ego make you violent or govern like a tyrant[00:02:31]
Or switch a dictionary's word from vibrant to vivrant[00:02:33]
Fool the thirsty people selling tap water in bottles[00:02:36]
Fooled a girl with NYU scholarship and now she models[00:02:39]
Ego has no ending has people pretending[00:02:42]
Religious zealots get jealous 'cause guys want their defending[00:02:44]
This is the last Tribe and our ego hopes that you felt us[00:02:47]
And closing for our ego we know only God can help us[00:02:49]
Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind[00:02:52]
Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind[00:02:55]
Ego ego trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'[00:02:58]
Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind[00:03:01]
Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind[00:03:03]
Ego ego trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'[00:03:06]
Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind[00:03:09]
Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind[00:03:11]
