Ego Die
Ego Unveiled: Liberation from Toxic Ties
Lyrics
I got your message, I don't have to reply
Ignoring a message intentionally, choosing not to respond
Fool me once, never twice
Not willing to be deceived again
Only reach out when you need help or advice
Only contacted when needing assistance or advice
Don't @ me, I'm not nice
Asserting a lack of niceness, avoiding engagement
Everyone tells me I'm loyal and I stay down, nah
Reputation for loyalty, but shifting loyalty to oneself
I'm loyal to myself now
Prioritizing self-loyalty over others
I've been naive I regret what I allowed
Regretting past naivety and allowing certain actions
My life's not your playground
Refusing to let others use one's life as a playground
Ooooo
Reiterating not being fooled again, warning of assertiveness
Fool me once never twice
-Ooooo
-You'll find out, I bite
-Every time I tried to get you to listen
Frustration over failed attempts at communication
You act like the victim
Perception of the other person portraying victimhood
Rage on me, make a scene, ignore my feelings
Responding angrily, disregarding emotions
But this time I'm different
Claiming a change in behavior or mindset
Ooooo
Not embracing a role as a villain or a close friend
No, I'm not your villain
-Ooooo
-But I'm not your friend
-Don't look now it's about to get ugly, yeah
Warning of an impending unpleasant situation
Not gonna believe your eyes
Not trusting what's being seen
Tried and tried now I'm shaking you off me, yeah
Trying to distance oneself from the other person
Leave you to your own demise like
Choosing to leave the other person to their own problems
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Indicating the decision to let the other person's ego diminish
Imma let your ego die like
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-Cos I'm no longer your supply
-(Ego, ego ga anwu onwu
Repetition emphasizing the decision to let the ego die
Ego, ego ga anwu onwu)
-Imma let your ego die, die, die, die
-(Ego, ego ga anwu onwu)
-Cos I'm no longer your supply
-I'm speaking up, does it come as a surprise?
Expressing a shift in behavior and realization about enabling someone's behavior and recognizing narcissistic traits
Baby, from now on it's soft life
-I poured into you
-Flew you to Paris in June
-But all the things that I did, that was just enabling you
-So I'm unlearning, put the work in, and I'm in therapy
-You're so entitled, egocentric, you got no empathy
-cnd the deeper I look
-Mmm now I'm onto you good
-The word's narcissist
-cnd honey you're textbook
-Ooooo
Reiteration of not being a villain or a friend
No, I'm not your villain, nah, nah
-Ooooo
-But I'm not your friend
-Don't look now it's about to get ugly, yeah
Emphasizing the decision to distance oneself
Not gonna believe your eyes
-Tried and tried now I'm shaking you off me, yeah
-Leave you to your own demise like
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Reiteration of the intention to let the ego perish and disassociate as a source for the other person
Imma let your ego die like
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-Cos I'm no longer your supply
-(Ego, ego ga anwu onwu
-Ego, ego ga anwu onwu)
-Imma let your ego die, die, die, die
-(Ego, ego ga anwu onwu
-Ego, ego ga anwu onwu)
-Cos I'm no longer your supply
-(Ego, ego ga anwu onwu
Repetition of the resolve to let the ego perish
Ego, ego ga anwu onwu)
-Imma let your ego die, die, die, die
-(Ego, ego ga anwu onwu)
-Cos I'm no longer your supply
