Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You used to know how to love me right
You used to know how to love me right
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
You got some things on your mind
I would hate to see you cry
Ego death is where you find happiness
That's the only place you find happiness
Off too many drugs, they so bad for us
One too many drinks and you had enough
[Verse 3]
Murdered my ego when you walked away
It hurt my ego when you walked away
Gave you my all, that wouldn't make you stay
Murdered my ego when you walked away
[Verse 4]
You had this look on your face
So much animosity
Ego death is where you find happiness
That's the only place you find happiness
Way too many drugs, they so bad for us
One too many drinks and you had enough
[Verse 5]
Murdered my ego when you walked away
It hurt my ego when you walked away
Gave me your all, that wouldn't make me stay
Murdered my ego when you walked away
[Verse 6]
(Hold on, this train goin' by)
Free to do what you want to do
You've got to live your life
[Verse 7]
Lot of people be thinkin', but I'm just a sayer
All this can't perform at Super Bowl, but it's okay for the players
All these half-way movements, need a whole lot of improvement
Everybody wanna talk, everybody wanna type
Ain't nobody finna do ****
And everybody throwin' dirt, all that talk won't work
All that talk don't work
Now who you think you talkin' to, nerd? Wait, it get worse
Wait it, wait it, wait it been bad
Showin' up to the Grammy's mad
Tryin' to win somethin' we already had
Tryin' to become somethin' we already are
Don't make me go Rastafar
We doin', no tryin', no dyin', we livin', I'm livid, I get more specific
All these admirations, likes and false validations
Feedin' to our ego, **** of the Negro
One in four get locked up, your girlfriend get knocked up
Plan B was they Plan A, to lower the count of our families
To lower the count on our damn votes
[Verse 8]
(Your joy isn't tied to me)
Let the man quote, who dropped drones on 'em?
(Your joy isn't tied to me)
Ye, don't take that tone on 'em, don't go watch the throne on 'em
Just hit a billi', he gone on 'em
(Your joy isn't tied to me)
(Your joy isn't tied to me)
[Verse 9]
I let my ego down and then I rise back up
I let my ego down and then a beast come back
(I'm armed, to let a sucker step up and get bombed)
(By a beat created by my producer)
I am losin' my mind 'cause your heart's so blind
When you left me outside, I'd be losin' my mind
I am losin' my mind 'cause your heart's so blind
When you left me outside, I'd be losin' my mind
[Verse 10]
(It's gonna cost you to be great)
(You will have to sacrifice somethin' to be great)
