Lyrics
0:00Ego - A Tribe Called Quest
0:32Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind
0:35Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind
0:37Ego ego trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'
0:40Ego ego
0:42I got one you got one and now we equal
0:45Sometimes it makes you trip out on your people
0:48Sometimes it has connotations of evil
0:51Sometimes niggas call on it when they need to
0:53It's called the ego
1:02Ay it's hard to really make the subject positively stated
1:07Some may hate it and some may overrate it
1:10It's a top story and you rarely see a trend
1:12So all you psychoanalysts pull out your pad and pen
1:15It's called the ego
1:16Come up with an idea and no one seems to get it
1:18Then every time you mention it
1:19They stare like you're two-headed
1:20But one day in your cubicle your idea really comes to view
1:23Your boss is walking by he sees it too and he takes it from you
1:26She put you on the aces of all the stripper places
1:29And has the kinda clientele where niggas trick off very well
1:31You beg her and you plead her and you tuck away your ego
1:34She knows you need the chicken
1:35And you know that she's your people
1:37They call you fat and lazy your commentary crazy
1:39They photoshop your face on a box of McCormick gravy
1:42And now that inner voice that ego making you get wavy
1:44Change your diet hit the gym
1:46And say What were you saying to me
1:47The ego makes you do it it makes you face the music
1:50Or run away from life so fast you'll outsprint Carl Lewis
1:53It has you think your deceptive ways of being are the truest
1:55Had the prettiest brown eyes but you change them shits to the bluest
1:58It's the ego
2:04O Jack White
2:06O Jack White
2:09A celebrated genius my dick game is the meanest
2:12I'll take the girl that's augmented new me is invented
2:15I'll take the biggest house in Calabassas
2:18Anyone for Michael Phelps swimming classes
2:20You need it when you're balling equally when you're falling
2:22Or when those kids in school on your locker
2:24They get to scrawling
2:25Epithets that's racist is stupid and mean in nature
2:28Something that can make you feel stronger when people hate ya
2:31Ego make you violent or govern like a tyrant
2:33Or switch a dictionary's word from vibrant to vivrant
2:36Fool the thirsty people selling tap water in bottles
2:39Fooled a girl with NYU scholarship and now she models
2:42Ego has no ending has people pretending
2:44Religious zealots get jealous 'cause guys want their defending
2:47This is the last Tribe and our ego hopes that you felt us
2:49And closing for our ego we know only God can help us
2:52Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind
2:55Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind
2:58Ego ego trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'
3:01Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind
3:03Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind
3:06Ego ego trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'
3:09Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind
3:11Ego ego skippin' trippin' in my mind
