Ego by TT17 Lyrics
[Intro]
So, a couple days ago, someone came up to me and said my content is the same in all my songs, which, they're right; it's about my sophomore year of high school, where I had the biggest ego. I'm not saying I don't have an ego now, but at least, like, I feel like I've accomplished something. Sophomore year, I didn't accomplish anything; so that's why I write about that. I just wanna ask- Is anyone truly proud of me? Can you look me in the eye and say that your proud of me? Because, honestly, I feel like no one's proud of me. I mean, it's not a bad thing; I, I rеally haven't accomplished anything yet; just dropping songs that don't mеan anything yet
[Chorus]
I just wanna ask- Is anybody proud of me?
Nah, put your hand down if you were doubtin' me
Called me "all talk" , when I'm talkin' 'bout how Ima make it one day, Ima try to get these thoughts outta me
I think I need help with these thoughts in my head
That's why I don't share these thoughts in my head
Yeah, I made a song called 'Thoughts in My Head'
But they couldn't ripen, so they rot in my head
They rot in my head, my brain black and grey
Only Man I talk to is God when I Pray
I'm tryna make it out, but there's a star in the way; and his name is doubt
I need him to get out the way
But then you got ego, he can be a pain
Yeah, I had a bad ego sophomore year, every day
Thought I had some respect, when I had no respect
Thought I had clout, when I didn't have a single check
[Verse]
I think it's time that I put down the pen
It's 4 A.M. , been writin' since 10
I wanna say sorry, but my text won't send
I put down my phone, but it's ringin' again
She asked how I'm doin' , and I said "I don't know. I could be better, but my ego gotta go. I'm at the point where I feel like I'm winnin' , but I feel like I'm losin' , and my life isn't movin' !"
[Chorus]
I just wanna ask- Is anybody proud of me?
Nah, put your hand down if you were doubtin' me
Called me "all talk" , when I'm talkin' 'bout how Ima make it one day, Ima try to get these thoughts outta me
I think I need help with these thoughts in my head
That's why I don't share these thoughts in my head
Yeah, I made a song called 'Thoughts in My Head'
But they couldn't ripen, so they rot in my head
They rot in my head, my brain black and grey
Only Man I talk to is God when I Pray
I'm tryna make it out, but there's a star in the way; and his name is doubt
I need him to get out the way
But then you got ego, he can be a pain
Yeah, I had a bad ego sophomore year, every day
