Ego Death

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 hеar you out, come on, tell me that don't count for nothing

Somеthing? 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
