Ego (Feat. Jack White) - A Tribe Called Quest
Ego ego skippin'
trippin' in my mind
Ego ego skippin'
trippin' in my mind
Ego ego trippin' trippin'
trippin' trippin' trippin'
Ego ego
I got one you got one
and now we equal
Sometimes it makes you
trip out on your people
Sometimes it has
connotations of evil
Sometimes niggas call on it
when they need to
It's called the ego

Ay it's hard to really
make the subject positively stated
Some may hate it
and some may overrate it
It's a top story and you
rarely see a trend
So all you psychoanalysts
pull out your pad and pen
It's called the ego
Come up with an idea
and no one seems to get it
Then every time you
mention it
They stare like
you're two-headed
But one day in your cubicle
your idea really comes to view
Your boss is walking by
he sees it too
and he takes it from you
She put you on the aces
of all the stripper places
And has the kinda clientele
where niggas trick off very well
You beg her and you plead
her and you tuck away your ego
She knows you need the chicken
And you know
that she's your people
They call you fat and lazy
your commentary crazy
They photoshop your face
on a box of McCormick gravy
And now that inner voice
that ego
making you get wavy
Change your diet hit the gym
And say
What were you saying to me
The ego makes you do it
it makes you face the music
Or run away from life
so fast that you'll
outsprint Carl Lewis
It has you think your
deceptive ways of
being are the truest
Had the prettiest brown eyes
but you change them
shits to the bluest
It's the ego
Ooo Jack White
Ooo Jack White
A celebrated genius
my dick game is the meanest
I'll take the girl that's augmented
new me is invented
I'll take the biggest house
in Calabassas
Anyone for Michael
Phelps swimming classes
You need it
when you're balling
equally when you're falling
Or when those kids in school
on your locker
They get to scrawling
Epithets that's racist is stupid
and mean in nature
Something that can make you feel
stronger when people hate ya
Ego make you violent
or govern like a tyrant
Or switch a dictionary's
word from vibrant to vivrant
Fool the thirsty people
selling tap water in bottles
Fooled a girl with NYU
scholarship and now she models
Ego has no ending
has people pretending
Religious zealots get jealous
'cause guys want their defending
This is the last Tribe
and our ego hopes
that you felt us
And closing for our ego
we know only God can help us
Ego ego skippin'
trippin' in my mind
Ego ego skippin'
trippin' in my mind
Ego ego trippin'
trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'
Ego ego skippin'
trippin' in my mind
Ego ego skippin'
trippin' in my mind
Ego ego trippin'
trippin' trippin' trippin' trippin'
Ego ego skippin'
trippin' in my mind
Ego ego skippin'
trippin' in my mind
