Wiki - Ego Death lyrics

[Intro] You gotta just dead yourself, dead all that Free yourself Look [Verse 1] Paint a whole piece, make a motif Give 'em so much dope, make 'em OD Looking at me like, "Yo, G" It ain't '03, a little OD Like, what's kosher these days? Probably be safer if I just don't speak Everyone turned so PC, then they turn their eye when it's their homie Sorta making you a phony, but what do I know? Just lil' old me Don't wanna be an old bummy man, mumbling, cussing out all the youngins Let me hear where you coming from, sonny Old now, still tryna hеar you out, come on, tell me that don't count for nothing Somеthing? I'm talking like I'm forty Not me, born in '93 By then, have a time piece, gold teeth Ain't there yet, still need more breesh Smoke more bleeps Hit more cheeks Jeez, Pat, what you, sixteen, Pat? You really need to get more deep War and peace, borders causing beef In this world, born free What happened? Now we paying lawyer fees Are we all sheep standing on four feet? Pouring out warmth, stored heat It engulfed me, to avoid heat stroke, had to hit the grocery store Keep it going, ain't trying to get cold or too cozy though Have to expose me, I wasn't always so knowing, no I was so sweet, the kid had cold feet, chicken sh*t, poultry, yo [Pre-Chorus] Ain't no me without my— look, check, uh [Chorus] Ain't no me without my people (Uh) Those the ones I really feel for (Uh) Those the ones I really need most (What?) Most definitely, I need close (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Ain't no me without my people (Huh?) Those the ones I really feel for (Huh?) Those the ones I really need most Most definitely, I need close (Yeah) [Verse 2] Old recipes, I fiend for Old lessons that been retold Old tenements been repoed Cold cellars left, whole housing developments that been RICO'd Just kids, old men and women left, they say dropping bombs to keep you free though Think about that when you see the eagle Would have thought that they went to war, but they did in a sense, still lethal But behind walls, who knew the world was so flawed, so evil? Won't enter me No tempting me No reliability Where, when? I'm there then I'm on ten sh*t, I been on survival mode Let out a om Sensibility Zen Looking through a different lens Couldn't just pretend Not him (Not me) Felt the death of my ego [Pre-Chorus] Ain't no me without my people (Uh) Ain't no me without my— look, check, uh [Chorus] Ain't no me without my people (Uh) Those the ones I really feel for (Uh) Those the ones I really need most (Yeah) Most definitely, I need close (Yeah, yeah) Ain't no me without my people (Uh-huh) Those the ones I really feel for (Yeah) Those the ones I really need most (Mmm) Most definitely, I need close (Yeah) [Outro] Nah Uh-huh
