  • You used to know how to love me right
    You used to know how to love me right

    Ooh, yeah

    You've got some things on your mind
    I would hate to see you cry
    Ego death is where you find happiness
    That's the only place you find happiness
    Off too many drugs, it's so bad for us
    One too many drinks and you had enough

    Murdered my ego when you walked away
    It hurt my ego when you walked away
    Gave you my all, that wouldn't make you stay
    Murdered my ego when you walked away

    You wear this look on your face
    So much animosity
    Ego death is where you find happiness
    That's the only place you find happiness
    Way too many drugs, it's so bad for us
    One too many drinks and you had enough

    Murdered my ego when you walked away
    It hurt my ego when you walked away
    Gave me your all, that wouldn't make me stay
    Murdered my ego when you walked away

    Hold on, this train going by
    Free to do what you want to do
    You've got to live your life

    Lotta people be thinkin', but I'm just a sayer
    Artists can't perform the Super Bowl, but it's okay for the players?
    All these half-way movements, need a whole lot improvement
    Everybody wanna talk, everybody wanna type
    Ain't nobody finna do sh-
    And everybody throwin' dirt, all that talk won't work
    All that talk don't work, now, who you think you talkin' to nerd?
    But w-w-w-w-w-wait, it get worse
    Wait, it-wait, it-wait, it been bad
    Showin' up to the Grammy's mad
    Tryna win some' we already have
    Tryna become some' we already are
    Don't make me go Rastafar'
    If you do, no try, no dyin', we livid, I'm livin', I get more specific
    All these admirations, likes, and false validations
    Feeding to our ego, talk for somethin', negro
    One in four get locked up, your girlfriend get knocked up
    Plan B was they Plan A to lower the count of our families
    To lower the count on our damn votes

    Let the man quote (your joy isn't tied to me)
    Who dropped drones on 'em?
    Ye, don't take that tone on 'em (your joy isn't tied to me, yeah)
    Don't go Watch The Throne on 'em
    Just hit a billi', he goin' on 'em (your joy isn't tied to me)
    (Your joy isn't tied to me)

    I let my ego down and then I rise back up
    I let my ego down and then the beast come back
    I'm armed, to let a sucker step up and get bombed
    By a beat created by my producer
    I am losin' my mind 'cause your heart's so blind
    When you left me outside, I be losin' my mind
    I am losin' my mind 'cause your heart's so blind
    When you left me outside, I be losin' my mind
    It's gonna cost you to be great
    You will have to sacrifice something to be great Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
