Ego
Clipse Lyrics

Don't let your ego trick your ass
Don't let your arrogance get the best of you

'Cause this motherfuckin' TEC will get your ass
If you disrespect me, my weapon will kill you

Yes, this semiautomatic TEC is known to jam
My gun is not reliable and might malfunction

But if it don't, that's your ass, my man
But if it works fine, you're in trouble

I got guns 'cause they got guns
I own guns because my enemies have guns too

I get cash, they get none
I make money while my enemies don't

So I'm sure you see where that leaves me
I have to protect myself since I have more than them

In the streets with two heats, both well within my reach
I carry two guns with me at all times

I speak slow, let 'em understand my speech
I speak slowly to make sure they comprehend me

When I say, 'get low, these hold ten shots each
When I tell someone to get down, they better listen because my guns can shoot ten rounds each

Please (please), don't move too fast (uh)
I politely ask them not to make any sudden movements

I'm scared of y'all niggas and my nerves is bad
I fear my enemies and my anxiety is high

Threaten my life with them words that they utterin'
If someone threatens my life with their words, they better be careful

Adrenaline pump, my heart start to flutterin'
When I'm threatened, my adrenaline starts pumping and my heart races

Continuous dump, that TEC gets to stutterin'
If I have to shoot my gun, I keep shooting until it runs out of bullets

Left in a slump, mother and sister cuddlin'
If I kill someone, their family will grieve

And for what? 'Cause you ego-trippin'
All of this violence is unnecessary because of someone's arrogance

If that thing jam, it's divine intervention, click (come on)
If my gun malfunctions and doesn't fire, it's because something mystical intervened

Even if it's talk cheap (say what?)
Even if someone talks trash

You know I can't sleep on his word
I can't ignore threats

Had to show him that I heard (let's go)
I had to demonstrate that I am aware of the threat

All that duct tape, tie up talk put in reverse
All the talk of tying me up was reversed to put my enemy in a vulnerable position

Now it's him who's in a bind on the account of his words (Yeah, you know it)
Now, my enemy is the one in trouble because of what he said

Yeah, they talk 'bout this and that (That)
My enemies talk a lot of nonsense

Got it fucked up, like I'm all 'bout rap (Rap)
They don't understand that I'm not just a rapper - I'm a threat

Word is I'm loaded, they want a piece of that
They know I have money and want to take it

I respond with four words, 'rat-tat-tat-tat' (in your ass)
I tell them to beware because I am ready to shoot them

Now, rap about that
Now try to compete with that level of aggression

I carry a human heat box, to make your heartbeat stop (stop)
I carry a gun to kill you

Some say Pusha's the coldest
Some people think I'm the most ruthless

Money is my morals, other than that, I'm soulless
I am ruthless and only care about money

Refuse to wake up zero-less and O-less
I won't become poor or powerless

Carry that shit that blow your arm out your shoulders (blaow)
I carry a gun powerful enough to blow your arm off

TECs don't come with holsters, I'm a menace, boy (don't forget, motherfucker)
My guns don't come with holsters - I'm dangerous and don't forget it

You niggas ain't fuckin' wit' us (na-na-na-na-na)
My crew is not to be messed with

This is the real (na-na-na-na-na-na)
We are the real deal

Bitch
Disrespectful way to end the song as a statement of authority
