Ego Trip

prod. by NAPE BEAT Ego trip, Ego trip Even your compassion is an ego trip All my heavy breathing is an ego trip Ain't no deeper meaning to it, ego trip Treat me like I’m nothing when the weather's looking fair Dump it all upon me when there's panic in the air From the life-or-death debates to the gutter level gossip Make me sign the dotted line just to guarantee your profit Blocking out the ugly, sweeping dirt under the rug Shrinking your own territory, trapped like a bug Twenty-degree vision, never listen to the facts Zero in return, running circles on the tracks Brainwashed, conditioned, stuck inside a broken loop All you gotta do is circle dots inside the group But you ask me for the color, for the thickness and the size Never wonder who it's for, never opening your eyes Screaming 'bout your rights at the bottom of the glass Feeding little chicks but you're failing out the class Forgot how to fly when it's time to leave the nest Just a hollowed out machine with a battery at best Ego trip, Ego trip Even your compassion is an ego trip All my heavy breathing is an ego trip Ain't no deeper meaning to it, ego trip Contradiction of the species and the individual brain Got intelligence to flex, but you use it for the vain Switching up the narrative to fit the modern scene Searching for a purpose on a fabricated screen Ears are perked up for the dirt across the wall But making up excuses for the shit you let fall Spreading all the mess, switching shoes to walk away Who you think is cleaning up the garbage everyday? Whatever, let it be, tossed the leather shoes aside Walking on the stilts, looking from a higher stride Hopping over fences and the moats without a sweat "Have a good one, figure it out," that's as real as it will get Unconscious mind and the endocrine system Cannot be rewritten by the conscious, yeah you missed 'em Acting like a genius with a total overview But it ain’t a simple switch, never strictly false or true It’s never on and off, man, the dial is in the gray Twisting up the knobs just to keep the noise away Tweaking the EQ till you settle down your soul Just a temporary fix to pretend you're in control Ego trip, Ego trip Even your compassion is an ego trip All my heavy breathing is an ego trip Ain't no deeper meaning to it, ego trip #beats #hiphop
