Ego
Beyoncé/Kanye West Lyrics

I got a big ego (ha, ha, ha)
I am extremely confident in myself and my abilities, so much so that it's almost laughable.

I'm such a big ego (uh, uh, uh)
My level of confidence and pride is so high that it's almost all-consuming.

She love my big (ha ha ha) ego
My partner is enamored with my self-assuredness and my ego is a source of attraction.

So stroke my big (ha ha ha) ego
I enjoy having my confidence and ego validated by others.

I like to joke around a little bit, but here we go
I often use humor to poke fun at myself, but at the same time, I am very serious about my immense ego.

Welcome to the wonderful world of
I'm introducing you to my world, where I am incredibly successful and powerful.

Gold-plated earl 'cause
I am so wealthy and successful that even things like my ears are 'gold-plated'.

Everything I throw up, blow up
Everything I do is successful and becomes a huge hit.

Talking to this girl, she said, "Know what? Grow up, you nasty"
Someone criticized the level of arrogance I possess and suggested I tone it down a bit.

I don't understand why they trippin' if you ask me
I don't see why people are bothered by my large ego, as it's just a reflection of my success.

Flow just the nicest, I emit the propane
I am an excellent rapper and my skills are explosive, just like propane.

I just spit, probably just raised the gas prices
My rapping is so good that it has similar impact as raising the gas prices.

Everybody in the club try and get as fresh as me
My style and look are so trendy that others try to emulate me.

What you want, dawg? Tryna stay recession-free
I'm asking others what they want to do during the recession to stay financially secure.

And spit, refreshingly when I rock the stadium
When I perform in front of massive crowds, I bring a refreshing energy and style to the stage.

You probably get sweaty you should bring a extra tee
I bring excitement and energy to my performances and people may sweat, so extra clothing may be needed.

Now I'm standing next to Jay, who standing next to B
I am now in the company of influential and successful people like Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

Coulda been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me
I am grateful for the people in my life who choose to spend time with me despite my large ego.

That's good for my ego, me and my ego
Having famous and successful people around me boosts my ego and makes me feel important.

And it go wherever we go, my ego is my imaginary friend
My ego is always with me and a source of comfort and confidence, like a supportive imaginary friend.

He was with me when I was only imagining
Even in my early days of dreaming of success, my ego was present and driving me forward.

I had dreams of the league, one day I play Kobe
I had dreams of being a top athlete, and Kobe Bryant was a top inspiration of mine.

Or walk up to Puff and he already know me
I had the dreams of meeting or working with successful people, like Puff Daddy, and now that's a reality.

Coulda let the dream killers kill my self esteem
There were many people who tried to discourage me and take away my pride, but I chose to preserve it.

Or use the arrogance as a steam that power my dreams and my ego
I use my confidence and pride as a driving force behind my success and dreams.

It's on baby, let's get lost
I'm ready to party and have a great time with someone special.

You don't need to call in to work 'cause you the boss
You don't have any responsibilities and can take the day off because you are with me, the one in charge.

For real, want you to show me how you feel
I truly want to connect and understand how you feel about me and our relationship.

I consider myself lucky that's a big deal
I'm grateful for my successes, including having someone special in my life.

Well, you got the key to my heart
I am fully entrusting you with my heart and emotions.

But you ain't gon' need it
I am fully giving myself to you, no need for a key or any barriers in our relationship.

I'd rather you open up my body
I am fully open and vulnerable to you, physically and emotionally.

And show me secrets you didn't know was inside
I want to explore the depths of our relationship and discover new things about each other.

No need for me to lie
I am being completely honest and genuine with my feelings and intentions.

He talk like this 'cause he can back it up
I speak with confidence and pride because my abilities and successes support it.

He got a big ego
I possess a large ego.

Such a huge ego
My ego is incredibly large and dominant in my life.

I love his big ego
Despite my partner's large ego, I still love and appreciate them as they are.

Usually I'm humble
Despite my large ego, I try to remain humble in certain situations.

Right now I don't choose
However, in the current moment, I am not prioritizing humility.

You can leave with me
I am inviting you to come with me and share my experiences.

Or you could have the blues
You can choose to not come with me, but then you will be missing out on something great.

Some call it arrogant
Others who do not understand my confidence or ego may see it as arrogance.

I call it confident
I see my ego and pride as a reflection of my confidence in my abilities and success.

You decide when you find
It's up to you to determine your perception of me and my ego.

Out what I'm working with
And based on what you see and experience of me, you will know what I have to offer.

Damn, I know I'm killing you with them legs
I am aware that my physical attributes, like my legs, are attractive and alluring.

Better yet, them thighs
More specifically, my thighs are a source of attraction.

Matter of fact it's my smile or maybe my eyes
It might actually be something else, like my smile or eyes, that is most attractive about me.

Boy, you're a sight to see, kinda somethin' like me
The person I am talking to is also attractive and interesting, much like myself.

Ego so big you must admit
My ego is undeniably large and impressive, as others must admit.

I got every reason to feel like I'm that
I have valid reasons to feel proud and confident in myself and my abilities.

Ego so strong, if you ain't know
My ego is incredibly powerful and dominant, in case you weren't already aware.

I don't need no beat I can sing it with piano
I don't even need musical accompaniment to express my confidence and ego, as even a piano will suffice.

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa
This line is also included for emphasis and to create a dramatic effect.

This line is included for additional emphasis and to create a musical transition.

This line is included as a musical outro and ending to the song.
