Ego
Beyonc้ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aw, baby, how you doing?
You know I'm gonna cut right to the chase, huh?
Some women were made
But me, myself?
I like to think that I was created
For a special purpose
You know?
What's more special than YOU?
You feel me?

It's on, baby let's get lost
You don't need to call in to work 'cause you're the boss
For real, want you to show me how you feel
I consider myself, okay that's a big deal
Why?
Well, you got the key to my heart
But you ain't gonna need it
I'd rather you open up my body
And show me secrets you didn't know was inside
No need for me to lie

It's too big (big)
It's too wide (wide)
It's too strong (strong)
It won't fit (fit)
It's too much (much)
It's too tough (tough)
He talk like this 'cause he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego
But, I love his big ego
It's too much
He talk like this 'cause he can back it up

Usually I'm humble
Right now, I don't choose
You can leave with me
Or, you could have the blues
Some call it arrogant
I call it confident
You decide when you find out what I'm working with
Damn, I know
I'm killing you with them legs
Better yet, them thighs
Matter of fact it's my smile, or maybe my eyes?
Boy, you're a sight to see
Kinda something like me

It's too big (big)
It's too wide (wide)
It's too strong (strong)
It won't fit (fit)
It's too much (much)
It's too tough (tough)
I talk like this 'cause I can back it up
I got a big ego
Such a huge ego
But, he loves my big ego
It's too much
I walk like this 'cause I can back it up
I, I walk like this 'cause I can back it up
I, I talk like this 'cause I can back it up
I, I, I can back it up,
I can back it up
I Walk like this 'cause I can back it up

It's too big (big)
It's too wide (wide)
It's too strong (strong)
It won't fit (fit)
It's too much (much)
It's too tough (tough)
He talk like this 'cause he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego... such a huge ego
But, I love his big ego
It's too much
He talk like this 'cause he can back it up

Ego so big you must admit
I got every reason to feel like I'm that bitch




Ego so strong, you ain't know?
I don't need no beat, I can sing it with piano

Overall Meaning

In Beyoncé's song Ego, the artist is confidently expressing her appreciation for herself and her partner’s physical attributes. The song celebrates confidence and self-assuredness, as well as the glorification and admiration of one’s partner. The lyrics illustrate Beyoncé’s belief that she was created for a special purpose and that purpose is to be with her partner. She explains that her partner's ego is too big, too wide, and too strong, but it's not a problem because he can back it up. Beyoncé flips the traditional gender roles by taking on the persona of the one with the big ego and making it clear that this is not a bad thing.


The chorus - "It's too big, it's too wide, it's too strong, it won't fit, it's too much, it's too tough" - celebrates the physical attributes of her partner as well as the confidence and swagger that he exudes. Beyoncé is enraptured by her lover's ego and willingly gives herself over to him. The song is a tribute to powerful, self-assured people who know what they want and go after it with confidence, whether it's in love or any other area of life.
