Thirsty Ego Raps
Thirsty Ego Reflections: Unveiling Universal Desires
Lyrics
It's the return of the curmudgeon
Expressing a return of a grumpy person
We're all thirty-first cousins
Highlighting our shared humanity as distant relatives
Remind myself, cause the thirst doesn't
Reminding oneself due to persistent desire or craving
The thirst kills
Emphasizing the destructive nature of intense desire
Thirst murders universal will
Describing how intense desire can harm collective motivation
I'll be having to tell myself chill
Acknowledging the need to calm oneself down
That's just my ego talking
Exploring the theme of an inflated ego that sees itself as a superhero in control of everything
Thinks he's super hero awesome
-Big chief, captain, president, and chairman over everything
-That's just my ego talking
-Thinks he's super hero awesome
-Big chief, captain, president, and chairman over everything
-My man Dave Gahan is in Depeche Mode
Mentioning various pop culture references and desires, showcasing a mix of personal and entertainment interests
Used to have a crush on Michel'le from Death Row
-This business is pop charts and who gets the top part
-I still be wanting to mention Calista Flockhart
-Yeah, and Jonathan Lipnicki
-Madonna there's room on the ottoman sit with me
-Bring me coconut water to swallow with this whiskey
-And let's talk about the nautilus positive shit gets me
-This is my emotional ape face
Describing a facial expression representing emotional reactions
I'm president of the rappers that don't condone date rape
Asserting a stance against supporting or condoning date rape in rap culture
I should eat rice cakes and drink water fools
Expressing a desire for a healthier lifestyle through diet and activities like yoga
And learn to do yoga and vibrate my molecules
-It's harder than finding coal in a seafloor
Using challenging metaphors to describe the difficulty of personal growth and societal change
Or feeding poor people through the hole in a screen door
-Shout out to first dude who pissed in the wind before
-And went in the woods despite the myth of Wendigo
-I really wanna dress like Sun Ra
Expressing a desire for a unique and distinctive style inspired by Sun Ra and fictional characters
A mumran and dumb broad stalking the jungles of Punjab
-My nickname is Lord Bravery
Introducing a self-proclaimed nickname and a casual approach to recording thoughts
On voice memos that I tape record lazily
-They be hatin' his brain
Reflecting on how others perceive the speaker, possibly addressing self-deprecation for audience engagement
Cause they move with dumb words like ancient doorways can be
-And thoughts that I'm great can pour limitless
-I'm pretty sure I self deprecate for your benefit
-It's the return of the curmudgeon
Reiterating the theme of curmudgeon's return and the dangers of unchecked desire
We're all thirty-first cousins
-Remind myself, cause the thirst doesn't
-The thirst kills
-Thirst murders universal will
-I'll be having to tell myself chill
-That's just my ego talking
Revisiting the ego theme, portraying an exaggerated sense of superiority
Thinks he's super hero awesome
-Big chief, captain, president, and chairman over everything
-That's just my ego talking
-Thinks he's super hero awesome
-Big chief, captain, president, and chairman over everything
-Trying not to have missteps in my catalog
Referencing the artist's awareness of potential missteps in his career and including a playful reference to popular rap tropes
Like Scott Hall burning Goldberg with a cattle prod
-Analog Eagle, Joe Walsh bandanna on
-Tag along here Dear, next stop Babylon
-We can yell "Eye of the tiger" if he sees gazelle
-Popular rap tropes he chose via Speak N' Spell
