lyrics

Ego Death

I think that you're a child
That you manipulate your friendships and your lovers as a therapy
You lack a moral compass or a sense of objectivity
You're much too cavalier and laissez faire with your civility
You love to play the victim
It's the mission of your ministry

You're inconsiderate and often vicious when we're arguing
Insensitive, dismissive, and intense when you ought not to be
And honestly, the quiet and then caustic bit is nauseating
You're friendly with the fire
Leave me out of it (why you do that?)

(Aww)
Looks like I hurt your feelings just a little bit (you gon' be alright?)
(Aww)
Well, If you didn't wanna know then don't ask me, shit

Why are you even bringing this to me?
That sounds like a crew problem, boo
Oh, I'm a cunt, I'm a bitch, and I'm rude
That sounds like a you problem, dude
Oh, you mean all of your niggas is sheep
That sounds like a ewe problem too
So they'll be asleep when I burn down the fescue
That's solving a few problems, hm?

Look man, I've been to the mountain and back with ya
If you learned something you never unpacked it
It's the back to back disappointment for me
It's the back and forth and backpedaling
You asked me to tell you, I spoke what I think
And I didn't stumble over it or blink
Not shade if it's tea
You shouldn't ask me to write 'cause we both know you weep when you read, huh?

(Aww)
Look at you big mad 'cause you ain't changed a bit
(Aww)
Ol' bird chested arrested development extra bitch
(Aww)
I bet that moved your pride west 'bout a couple inches
(Aww)
I'm not brutally honest, you're masochistic

Look
You need to put them bags down before your ass gets left
I know it's nasty but you'll have to get those wounds expressed
And that's the last you'll hear from me 'til I hear 'bout progress
But I'ma ask my mom to pray for your ego death

Jesus
