Boyz II Men - Ego lyrics

Hey man...you know sometimes you've got to Listen to your self or not listen to yourself That's how it is As you get a little older you start realizing things Realize it's your ego It's your ego that's enemy...you know That's the only thing that can stop you...is your ego Hey...it's crazy man, but we got you...so listen My ego had me doing things that I thought I'd never do Like being with another shorty when I was with you Unnecessary shopping sprees for things I didn't need Maybe it was a little necessary But looking back it was greed Big chains, big cars, big chips More things, more girls, long trips Maybe if I would've thought of it I would have had a chance to enjoy it [Chorus] But now I know it was just my ego My ego was my enemy I thought it was a friend to me But it was a curse to me Cause it brought out the worst in me My ego was my enemy I was flowin like a man when I was a boy livin every man's dream Spending time at the strip club...to much cream Nobody couldn't tell me nothin cause I was feeling myself Same thing almost cost me my whole life, and all of my wealth Chicks came and went...I stayed G'd up cause I was paid Damn all those games I played Hey, what more can I say [Chorus] If I could turn back the hands of time I wouldn't change a thing Cause it made me the man I am today [Chorus]
