Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone
[Verse 2]
But what can you tell them?
What can you say that won't make them defensive?
So
[Verse 3]
Hang onto your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
[Verse 4]
They come on like they're peaceful, but inside they're so uptight
They trip through the day and waste all their thoughts at night
[Verse 5]
But how can I say it?
How can I come on when I know I'm guilty?
So
[Verse 6]
Hang onto your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
[Verse 7]
And how can I say it?
How can I come on when I know I'm guilty?
[Verse 8]
Hang onto your ego
(Hang on)
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
(Hang on)
Hang onto your ego
(Hang on)
(Hang on)
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
Hang onto your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
