E.G.O.s
You know they cloning humans, right?
But these creatures got no emotions on display
If you ask me, they more like mutants, right?
Cuz certain shit just can't be cloned in DNA
Wanna know why I feel alone in disarray
Cuz I think I'm the only one of my kind
And I ain't talking about my literary efficiency
I'm talking 'bout the day in age and attitudes in our times
I find that ain't no need for feelings in civilians
They say feelings leave you killed? Man that's a numbing thought to deal with
I wear my heart on my sleeve if that ain't bad enough
Plus I'm sensitive to certain situations to add it up
So that equals me a "goody-two-shoes" dude
Dog missing love, now I'm searching for the evidence: "Blue's Clues"
And, yo, it's hard to believe that it's none to attract
I'ma search for it but I wonder if niggas want it back
Cuz man...
Egos make the world go 'round
I heard that smiling in public is against the law
Cuz love don't get you through life no more
It's who you with, what your life like, how you look on the 'Gram
(Yo, where you at? Where's some weed, nigga? Hold something for your man!)
And everybody gotta fake it till you make it?
No payment from it but y'all work at faking like a day shift
Which makes it hard to believe you're maintaining a statement, killa
You mad at breakfast? (You gangbanging on bacon, nigga?)
But yo, I get it, shit, life ain't working out to your benefit
But think about other people living in worse predicaments
Easy to say than do cuz they ain't you
But karma quick to change the rules and say trade shoes
And it ain't even about the higher placement
But showing kindness instead of being brolic just give away the complications
But man, y'all probably think I'm just some backtrack filler
Facing me with a disguise like a Snapchat filter
For real?
Egos make the world go 'round
All I see is flashing middle fingers in fashion and frowning
Whatever happened to giving out and people smiling?
Whatever happened to clashing into a cat, see past his path and ethnicity
And feel y'all extended family convincingly
Or is it me? Tell me something cuz I ain't privy
To this human disconnection, why find an answer from Siri?
(Y'all ain't hearing me) dying laughing to a crying misery
Via WorldStar, leaving the world scarred mentally
Eventually, the children of the future will grow up to
Have their words utter to their parents "Fuck you"
Yo, I ain't calling bluff, just trying to poke a nerve
Y'all killing hearts with a straight face mask like it's a Purge
Let's emerge from the dark ages
Giving in to these petty ways and be a role model in charge, maybe
Cuz who's to blame when our generation can't be that next link
It's safe to say Generation X remained extinct
Egos make the world go 'round
Egos make the world go 'round
And emos make the world go 'round
Egos make the world go 'round
