Death by Ego

Feeling trapped in my own mind
When am i going to move
Can't make points they always get misconstrued
See myself Flipping tables when tables turning
My pride burning and egos need urning
Pride before the fall
Lessons start Right now
Every time niggas argue yeah i won't pipe down
Fuck that ima stand my ground
Throwing haymakers with words just to try to knock you down
Kerri Hilson
Bet this got a nigga looking shitty
Back against the wall i don't need nobody with me
See that mentality will shake up my reality
Won't have a happy home if i feel we constant battling
Now i'm speaking my truth in hopes the world will be discrete
When i give it to you
Place my flaws on the market i will sell them to you
Don't try to give them back
Cuz I won't take it from you not refundable
Bad habits
Super passive
Mad passion
Slight savage
More habits
Bad mood and
Nigga with a attitude
I guess a nigga crazy
Whats confusing cause confusion
Thats all we been dealing with lately

Cuz i don't understand why we
I don't understand why we
I don't understand why we
I don't understand why we

Still fighting over the same shit
The drive the effort so relentless
I mean we both crossing lines
That line was once hard to find
Our minds outta this world
And nothing to my surprise
Is it possible that we might be shaping a lie
I push ya buttons you pushing mines
Now tell me who's wrong or right
We go from fussing and fighting to fucking again
Being lovers and friends thats cuffing again
Life on the edge yeah we testing the limits
Stress on our minds got us in unavoidable tension
When we good we great when we bad it hurts
Yo love i need like blood flow to the veins
Roots of our trauma is painful
How we heal means everything
Ignorance is bliss
We not ignoring anything
Whats time to us
How much we value ourself
Whats love to you?
How much work you bringing?
And the baggage too?
Maybe cAn justify the means
But whats means if theres never any space in between
If times heals all maybe that shit will intervene
Give us a idea we can do more tocope
Have more than hope
Do more for pain
Do more for pressure
Applied to our mental state
So we can live more with ease
With no worries this it brings
I think that may be all that we really need

The moment of feeling defeated just be killing my vibe
Shame aint even in discussion when we talk about pride
Im like a hole in a wall of a good restaurant
I need all the help i can get all bullshit aside
But im supposed to figure it out I'm a man homie
I got a kid so tell me what makes a man homie
Tell me what peak i got to reach to gain a fan from you
Cuz Rn this music is my only plan homie
Soul survivor to the core
When im rapping on tracks
I've been taking all of the beatings from life attacks
The bumps the bruises is just a couple of jabs
When that hook come in
Ima stand like a man
You win some you lose rest in peace to pops
But that gun looking promising
To end this fight
Immortal soul mix with evil just to ride this ride
The devil can't win tonight i got too much pride
Whats the cost of the weight of world
Black folks gon fly cuz thats our way of the world
If you deny that you living in a whole another world
Strong leapers with faith
Never choose to walk away
Hit play then proceed to stay
I wanna break the ground you worshipping
Only to show you i can fly
So get yo ass off that pavement
Its more to life
Know that feeling is terrifying
Let this be the last time you feel mortified
Expectations i place on the ones that i love
Want you to have everything life under the sun
So what you risking
What you giving in return
Meet with sacrifices or be sure to crash and burn
