Ego

I'm tired of people with egos
Don't give a fuck where he goes
He leaves his family in the shadows
And their faces will haunt him when he is abandoned
Just another day in the life of a man
She got her eyes on the prize that you missed
You're on the list of the things that missed
In a world that doesn't need anything
I still get this feeling
That these walls are closing in
Let me tell you something
I'm so tired of trying and trying then dying
But I don't want to blend in
Just a puppet on a string

I don't know what you're doing
But I couldn't care less
Cause you're whole life is a mess
I don't want to hear it anymore
What are you running for
Just a little bit more
What do you want from me
I can feel it in your eyes
What do you want from me
Something that you can't disguise
What do you want from me
Why would it matter to me
I've only just begun to think that

I'm tired of people who diss this and diss that
I'm tired of people who wish they could turn back
I'm tired of people who wish they could stay
We've been fighting for this life every day
I need to get away
I need another day
I need to say what I want the right way
But don't know if I can
Might be a little naïve
I gotta let you go
I've been away for far to long

I'm tired of people with no results
Tired of people getting sick of it all
Tired of people putting me inside a box
Trapped me inside these walls
And I thought to myself
I'm just tired of people in general
Not defending myself
Bitch I'm sick of myself
But I didn't need any help
To overcome the pain that I felt
You gotta get it together
Till you get what you deserve

I looked at myself then I looked into the mirror
And I found that my mind is open and clearer
If you feel like a dead man it's all over
Tryin to make it work
All I wanted was a chance to make it hurt
And I never said another word
But I was busy trying to make it work
And now I'm stuck with my head
All the pain and the hurt
But it wasn't worth it
I didn't know what it was

Didn't know what it was but it was worth it
Didn't know how much that I deserved it
Now you're crying out to be heard
Don't you ever listen to the words
That grow louder and louder
They keep me hanging on
When the time is right
I'm hitting like a bomb
I know I'll be alright
Every day I get mesmerized
With how stupid the fucking people are

I'm tired of people with egos
Don't give a fuck where he goes
He leaves his family in the shadows
And their faces will haunt him when he is abandoned
Just another day in the life of a man
She got her eyes on the prize that you missed
You're on the list of the things that missed
In a world that doesn't need anything
I still get this feeling
That these walls are closing in
Let me tell you something
I'm so tired of trying and trying then dying
But I don't want to blend in
Just a puppet on a string

Contemplating retirement
But not in this shit
I just do this for the hell of it
Just made another one off the top
Be like 50 saying I'll take you to the candy shop
Be like the Fortnite kids trying to teach you how to floss
But I got a life to fucking focus on
I'm not gonna wait
I appreciate the hate
But I ain't playing games
Make my way through the crowd like I ain't playing games
But in the meantime I'm on my way to the brain
Cause I'm about to make a change
You gotta change your lanes
I don't have to say any names
I live in the background
I don't wanna be around
They wanna boot me out
But I ain't got nothin to lose
I'm at the lowest of lows
But I'm on top of these flows
But I ain't stopping till I top my goals

I got the whole world in my hands
I'm the only one who understands
When it's all said and done
I'll be dead and gone and I won't be the one
They'll never know the reason
Or the truth of my prison
So now I gotta do my thing
Keep on pulling and pushing
Myself to the top
I give it all I got
Don't know if I'll flop
But I don't have a care in the world
I'm doing this for fun

I don't have to worry about you
I don't have to worry about anything and I don't have a thing to do
But I can take another shot at you
You know I don't do what you want me to
But what you want me to do I don't get
It's like you want me dead
So you better watch your step
There's a storm up ahead
And it's all in your head
Just know I might never be coming back

I'm tired of people with egos
Don't give a fuck where he goes
He leaves his family in the shadows
And their faces will haunt him when he is abandoned
Just another day in the life of a man
She got her eyes on the prize that you missed
You're on the list of the things that missed
In a world that doesn't need anything
I still get this feeling
That these walls are closing in
Let me tell you something
I'm so tired of trying and trying then dying
But I don't want to blend in
Just a puppet on a string
