EGOMAN

Watch di razor, watch di steel! Don't trade yuh soul fi di mass appeal! Man a lion, man a shark, But di ego bite in di pitch black dark! It start sweet like a sugar cane, Den it rush like poison inside di vein! Don't lose di love fi di plastic crown, Watch how yuh climb or yuh tumbling down! Bram! I step inside the arena, laced up and focused I’m trying to bloom like a rose amidst the locusts I love the friction, the grinding of the gears The sound of progress ringing in my ears It’s the competitive nature, the voltage in the wire To push the limit past the point where others tire I need the rival, I need the wall to break through That’s the drive, that’s the motion, that’s the how and the true. But ego is a weapon, handle it with care! It cut yuh deep when yuh drifting in di air! You running fast but you running nowhere! If yuh lose di love, den di soul strip bare! Listen me now! Control di mind or di mind control you! Don't break the mirror just to get a better view! Control di mind or di mind control you! Don't break the mirror just to get a better view! But somewhere along the line, the vision got blurred I stopped listening to the music, just looking for the word To kill the competition, to sever the head I forgot the joy of living, I was walking with the dead Obsessed with the scoreboard, counting up the stats While the joy was getting eaten by the alley cats It’s a virus, that affects your soul and brain When you destroy the purpose just to conquer the day. The peak... (is it dizzying you?) The streak... (is it prisoning you?) The weak... (is it visiting you?) Put the weapon down. Pick the purpose up. [Outro: Raggamuffin Chant] Original love, original style! Don't let the venom make the heart turn vile! Respect the craft, respect the mile! Hold di corner, hold di file! Peace!... Ego is a weapon, handle it with care! It cut yuh deep when yuh drifting in di air! You running fast but you running nowhere! If yuh lose di love, den di soul strip bare! Listen me now! Control di mind or di mind control you! Don't break the mirror just to get a better view! Control di mind or di mind control you! Don't break the mirror just to get a better view! ...“release the weight and feel like brand new” Ego ego ego man "not good!" ego ego ego man "destroys you" ego ego ego man "don't listen to him" ego ego ego man -you’ll feel the stress fly away... “hear me now mon, “ “When the ego dies, the soul awakes.” I'm a believer in love A believer in trust But not what he says Not the promises made The games he played Ego man See the writing on the wall He gets so high before the fall He'll take your heart He'll take your hand Oh Ego man Ego man is bad Ego man Ego man is bad Ego man Ego man is bad Ego man Ego man is bad Ego man
