Ego Death

(álbum: Half God - 2021)

You gotta just dead yourself, dead all that
Free yourself
Look

Paint a whole piece, make a motif
Give 'em so much dope, make 'em OD
Looking at me like, "Yo, G"
It ain't '03, a little OD
Like, what's kosher these days? Probably be safer if I just don't speak
Everyone turned so PC, then they turn their eye when it's their homie
Sorta making you a phony, but what do I know? Just lil' old me
Don't wanna be an old bummy man, mumbling, cussing out all the youngins
Let me hear where you coming from, sonny
Old now, still tryna hear you out, come on, tell me that don't count for nothing
Something? I'm talking like I'm forty
Not me, born in '93
By then, have a time piece, gold teeth
Ain't there yet, still need more breesh
Smoke more bleeps
Hit more cheeks
Jeez, Pat, what you, sixteen, Pat? You really need to get more deep
War and peace, borders causing beef
In this world, born free
What happened? Now we paying lawyer fees
Are we all sheep standing on four feet?
Pouring out warmth, stored heat
It engulfed me, to avoid heat stroke, had to hit the grocery store
Keep it going, ain't trying to get cold or too cozy though
Have to expose me, I wasn't always so knowing, no
I was so sweet, the kid had cold feet, chicken shit, poultry, yo

Ain't no me without my look, check, uh

Ain't no me without my people (Uh)
Those the ones I really feel for (Uh)
Those the ones I really need most (What?)
Most definitely, I need close (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ain't no me without my people (Huh?)
Those the ones I really feel for (Huh?)
Those the ones I really need most
Most definitely, I need close (Yeah)

Old recipes, I fiend for
Old lessons that been retold
Old tenements been repoed
Cold cellars left, whole housing developments that been RICO'd
Just kids, old men and women left, they say dropping bombs to keep you free though
Think about that when you see the eagle
Would have thought that they went to war, but they did in a sense, still lethal
But behind walls, who knew the world was so flawed, so evil?
Won't enter me
No tempting me
No reliability
Where, when?
I'm there then
I'm on ten
Shit, I been on survival mode
Let out a om
Sensibility Zen
Looking through a different lens
Couldn't just pretend
Not him (Not me)
Felt the death of my ego

Ain't no me without my people (Uh)
Ain't no me without my look, check, uh

Ain't no me without my people (Uh)
Those the ones I really feel for (Uh)
Those the ones I really need most (Yeah)
Most definitely, I need close (Yeah, yeah)
Ain't no me without my people (Uh-huh)
Those the ones I really feel for (Yeah)
Those the ones I really need most (Mmm)
Most definitely, I need close (Yeah)

Nah
Uh-huh
