He got an ego.

[intro] We couldn't make him lose. It's an action to feel low When he's asking for control. So stick I Do it do it tarnish it So Can't let you down below When he's asking for control So stick I do it do it tarnish it [Verse 1] He got an ego, loud like gold Walk in the room like the crown’s been sold Talks like winning’s already done Swagger in his shoes and the weight of none First to shout, last to fall Never been wrong (not that he recalls) Mirror says, “Damn, look what you’ve made” Even if that mirror's starting to fade He says, “Watch me fly, I was born to rise” But behind the eyes, there’s a compromise No cheers, just echoes chasing grace So he talks big just to fill the space --- [Chorus] Yeah, he got an ego—don’t you see? Built it up since no one believed in me Louder I shout, the less I break Fake it all till the silence shakes He got an ego, king of the scene But deep down, he don’t know what it means Say I’m the best, say it again Say it loud enough to make it real, then Maybe I can win --- [Verse 2] He got the look, he got the talk But every step feels like a question mark They clap, he grins, then checks his phone ‘Cause it don’t feel real when you’re still alone Every "brag" is a prayer in disguise Every flex just tries to stabilize He throws confidence like it's a dart Hoping it lands somewhere near his heart “No one can stop me,” he repeats As if the words might grow him wings He’s not cocky—he’s scared to lose And ego’s just the armor he can use --- [Chorus – Bigger, But Shakier] Yeah, he got an ego—built on doubt Stacked it up ‘cause they counted me out Every “watch me” is just a plea To believe in the myth I built as me He got an ego, loud and bright But it’s just courage dressed up tight Say I’m a legend, say I’m grand Say it quick before I can’t stand I need to understand --- [Bridge – Quiet, Breaking Voice Over Minimal Instrumentation] If I stop saying it, will it still be true? If no one’s clapping, what do I do? I told myself I’d prove them wrong But maybe that’s just been my song All along --- [Final Chorus – Vulnerable, Still Clinging to the Lie] He got an ego—don’t look too close It’s not pride, it’s just a ghost Of the kid who swore he’d be more So loud he shook the floor He got an ego, don’t ask why It’s how he stays alive inside Say I’m the best, please, say it through ‘Cause I don’t believe it—but maybe you do
