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
