Ego Birth ft. Cliff Notez Lyrics

Six albums in

Only know the hard way

Probably why I'm bad at taking compliments

Let it fade from my memory

Pats on the back becomes slaps in the face

And their smiles drip cyanide

Teeth like razor blades

I don't even know when

I started wearing this fuckin mask

Muted my confidence

Left it humming in the background

Dumbing down the shit

That makes me glow from a distance

So, when niggas big league me

I'm expected to sit and listen

Don't get it confused

I know I'm fuckin ill

Your shit doesn't enthuse me

I could easily kill

Whatever beat you put in front of me

Let it be known

My sole mission is to

Be the one they talk about after shows

When I'm on the bill

Whether it's five or five-hundred

My shit's finna knock.

NAH.

I'm busting down doors

Fuck asking for my spot.

I'm taking it

Fuck this waiting shit

I call my shots

That humble shit

I was faking it

But that shit stops here

Attack the beat like we got a problem

I'm goated with a loaded revolver

For a mouth, kid

Shooting like I'm MJF

Gave ya boy a live mic

Something they'll surely regret

Not asking about the next

I'm right now

The present

Done letting dummies

Confuse my potential

Peruse my credentials

And write me off with dull pencils

The same ones they stabbed

their eardrums with

It's mental

How the fuck they even listening

They can't hear me

They don't want to

They know the voice of God is scary

Feel that rumble

Deep in their chest

Alanis Morrisette in Dogma is my energy

Better check ya heads

Piles of plaques and trophies

Stacked in my closet

Right next to the cure for my depression

Nigga, stop it

I seen the mountain top

Ya boy's lived in the squalor

So, more things motivate me

Than just another dollar

Y'all mortgage your souls

Concerned only with pockets

Both sides ain't talkin

No corpus callosum

Must be why I'm hostile

Nod my head to bullshit

y'all treat like it's Gospel

Can't sit, and watch

So, consider this a warning

I'm coming for it all

The propz, the respect

Whatever

You're entering a brawl

When that fuckin bell rings

you best conjure up some magic

Whole world's in flames

Well, I'm here to add to it

Motherfuckas

Views from on top of

You fools so astounding

My branches growing faster then roots

I prolly need grounding

Might extend an olive branch

Outta petty but u respect it

I'm getting more recognition

Then these niggas got records

I be outta town and

Somehow I'm still running it

Ya mouth

Y still running it

Can't be mad

Cuz I'm third person funding it

There's something bout humility

My lack of it is fueling me

Should be pruning leaves

Just to keep my tranquility

U might be a top pick

You still Emeka Okafor

Meanwhile I'm gracing covers

That youu niggas jonesing for

U need em

I'm the reason

Call it hoobastank

Even when I lose

I'm coming back like a boomerang

My ego Eddie Murphy

Maxxmillian, you can't hurt me

I'm not a goat, I'm a god

I just be acting kinda quirky

I'm not a goat, I'm a god

Put some blessing on my health

Plus I like my odds like

I'm betting on myself
