Ego

by Dinosaur Jr.

It's in, side
It's in the back
The front
No it's in the back
No it's in the front
No it's in the back
They shoved it in the back
They put it in the back
All the love in the back in the back
All the love in the back
Get in the back boy
And they call it your subconscious
TALK:
Remember Freud
In the front is your computer
And I call him
SING:
Old ego is a too much thing
Old ego is a too much thing
He'll make you fool yourself
You'll think you're somebody else
They got the whole subway train
Makes you want to jump on up there an' fight
And you can't stand left to your right
He'll make you lie
Make you cheat
Jus' so you won't be beat
He'll make you get on outta sight
You get afraid you gonna, act like a clown
And you get mad when somebody puts you down
Your heart's a-pumpin' and you pan-heart's a-jumpin'
Look out ego is a too much thing
When everything seems goin' so fine
Old ego puts itself on a bind
Your cert'ty turns to doubt
Then you start flippin' out
Then you ease on out of your mind

Ego

by Wu-Tang Clan

All the time I try to reason with you
But I just can't seem to make you understand
Nothing seems to ever really get through
Can't you feel emotions like any other man
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego
Look at how you wanted all of my tears
Any time you felt you needed security
All the nights you let me out on my own
That's the thing that you just can't give back to me
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego
You're only plan it seems is look after number one
You just can't comprehend what it means to love someone
Stay away, get lost, get out of my life
Can't you see the changes now and at last I'm free
Any plans I have just don't include you
And that's the one thing you won't take from me
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego
Every time I tried to reason with you
But it seemed that I never made you understand
Nothing ever seemed to ever really get through
Can't you feel emotions like any other man
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego

Ego

by Radiohead

Oh baby, how you doing?
You know I'm gonna cut right to the chase
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 into work 'cause you're the boss
For real, want you to show me how you feel
I consider myself lucky, 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, it's too wide
It's too strong, it won't fit
It's too much, it's too tough
He talk like this 'cause he can back it up
He got a big ego, such a huge ego
I love his big ego, it's too much
He walk 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 on what I'm working with
Damn I know I'm killing you with them legs
Better yet them thighs
Matter a fact it's my smile or maybe my eyes
Boy you a site to see, kind of something like me
It's too big, it's too wide
It's too strong, it won't fit
It's too much, it's too tough
I talk like this 'cause I can back it up
I got a big ego, such a huge ego
But he love 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 can back it up, I can back it up
I walk like this 'cause I can back it up
It's too big, it's too wide
It's too strong, it won't fit
It's too much, it's too tough
He talk like this 'cause he can back it up
He got a big ego, such a huge ego, such a huge ego
I love his big ego, it's too much
He walk 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, if you ain't know
I don't need no beat, I can sing it with piano

[Pusha T]
Yes sir..
[Chorus 2X's]
Don't let 'cha ego trick yo ass
'Cause this motherfuckin' tech will get yo ass
[Pharrell]
"Yes, the semi-automatic tech is know to jam..."
But if it don't, that's yo ass my man
[Malice]
I got guns 'cause they got guns
I get cash they get none
So I'm sure you see where that leaves me
In the streets with two heats, both one within my reach
I speak slow, let 'em understand my speech
When I say, "Get low, these hold ten shots each
Please, don't move too fast, I scared of y'all niggas and my nerves is bad!"
So sad, but I won't think twice
We rich, we get the best judicial advice
Threaten my life with them words that they ut-ter-in'
Adrenaline pump, my heart start to flut-ter-in'
Continuous dump, that tech gets to stut-ter-in'
Left in the slump, mother and sister cud-dle-in'
And for what, 'cause you ego-trippin'
If that thing jam, it's divine intervention
Click!
[Chorus 2X's]
Don't let 'cha ego trick yo ass
'Cause this motherfuckin' tech will get yo ass
[Pharrell]
"Yes, the semi-automatic tech is know to jam..."
But if it don't, that's yo ass my man
[Pusha T]
Even if it's talk cheap (Say what...)
You know I can't sleep on his word
Had to show him that I heard (Let's go...)
All that duct-tape-tie-up talk put in reverse
Now it's him who's in a bind on the account of his words (Yeah, you know it...)
Yeah, they talk 'bout this and that (That...)
Got it fucked up, like I'm all 'bout rap (Rap...)
Word is I'm loaded, they want a piece of that
I respond with four words, "Rat-tat-tat-tat" (In yo ass...)
Now, rap about that
I carry a human heat box, to make ya heartbeat stop (Stop...)
Some say Pusha's the coldest
Money is my morals, other than that, I'm soulless
Refuse to wake up zeroless and 0-less
Carry that shit that blow your arm out your shoulders (Bla-oww...)
Techs don't come with holsters, I'm a menace boy (Don't forget, motherfucker)
[Chorus 2X's]
Don't let 'cha ego trick yo ass
'Cause this motherfuckin' tech will get yo ass
[Pharrell]
"Yes, the semi-automatic tech is know to jam..."
But if it don't, that's yo ass my man
[Pharrell]
Yo..
You niggas ain't fuckin' wit' us..
This is the real..
You niggas ain't fuckin' - wit' us..
This is the real..
You niggas ain't fuckin' wit' us..
This is the real..
You niggas ain't fuckin' - wit' us..
This is the real..
Bitch..

by Ozzy Osbourne

You are such an imitation of me
I want you to know that I will always
kick you in your face if you ever try to disgrace me because
I know that you wanna be just like me but I'm screaming
Falling down on you
And still you never knew
This hell I put you through
Should be nothing new
Falling down on you
And still you never knew
This hell I put you through
Should be nothing new
Don't you know
Who I am
I am the man that you will never be
Don't you know
Who I am
I am the man that you will never be
I'm in control
You will always be my slave
Shut up, Shut up
You will obey me
Shut up, Shut up
I'm in control of you
Shut up, Shut up
You will obey me
Shut up, Shut up
I'm in control of you
Don't you ever think that I will let you off your knees again because
I know that you wanna be just like me but I'm screaming
Falling down on you
And still you never knew
This hell I put you through
Should be nothing new
Falling down on you
And still you never knew
This hell I put you through
Should be nothing new
Don't you know
Who I am
I am the man that you will never be
Don't you know
Who I am
I am the man that you will never be
I'm in control
You will always be my slave
Shut up, Shut up
You will obey me
Shut up, Shut up
I'm in control of you
Tie the noose around your neck
I'll pump this lead into your head
Tie the noose around your neck
Pump the lead in your head
Don't you know
Who I am
I am the man that you will never be
Don't you know
Who I am

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money
I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honey
Step on the thin ice lightly
And check out the show twice nightly
'Cause I'm on the stage tonight
And if the price is right
I will amaze before the light I crave the light
Blinding white I need the light tonight
Take a look at me now and take a look at my billing
I'm not in it as an extra, I'm in it for the killing
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me
'Cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my ego
My ego and it's message
Oh inform the press, invite the guests
I need the press tonight
Do you remember acting out your youth
A Romeo resplendent on an orange case
Do you remember how I would recite
And how I'd blow my lines and hide my face
Well maybe it was childish, foolish, before schoolish
Immaturish, lose your coolish
But I had to grow and prove my ego
Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money
I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honey
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me
Oh 'cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my ego
My ego and it's message
Oh inform the press, invite the guests
I need the press tonight

EGO

by Cascada

Hey baby
How you doing?
You know
I'm gonna cut right
To the chase
Some women were made
But me, myself
I like to think
I was created
For a special purpose
You know,
What's more
Special than you,
You feel me?
It's on,
Baby lets get lost
You don't need
To call into work,
Cuz you're the boss
For real want you
To show me how you feel
I consider myself
Lucky that's a big deal
Why, well,
You got the key to my heart
But you aint 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
It's too wide
It's too strong
It wont fit
It's too much
It's too tough
He talks like this
Cuz he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego
I love his big ego
It's too much
He walks like this
Cuz 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 confidant
You decide when you find
On what I'm working with
Damn I know,
I'm killing you with them legs
Better yet them thighs
Matter a fact it's my smile
Or maybe my eyes
Boy you a site to see
Kind of something like me
It's too big
It's too wide
It's too strong
It wont fit
It's too much
It's too tough
I talk like this
Cuz I can back it up
I got a big ego
Such a huge ego
But he love my big ego
It's too much
I walk like this
Cuz I can back it up
I, I walk like this
Cuz I can back it up
I, I talk like this
Cuz I can back it up
I, I can back it up
I can back it up
I walk like this
Cuz I can back it up
It's too big
It's too wide
It's too strong
It wont fit
It's too much
It's too tough
He talks like this
Cuz he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego
I love his big ego
It's too much
He walks like this
Cuz 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,
If you aint know
I don't need no beat,
I can sing it with piano

Ego

by Diana Krall

We used to go together,
looking after each other,
I thought that you were better,
look at you
You used to be so laid back,
you always kept it so cool,
I loved you 'cause of all that,
that's the truth
I don't think you know where you're heading,
I was always there to help you break the fall
And now you wanna pretend that you're a superstar,
And now you want us to end what's taken you this far,
Don't tell me that you're done as far as we go,
you need to have a sit-down with your ego.
When everyone's gone and you are by yourself,
you know that you're gonna come to me for help,
don't tell me that it's time for going solo,
you need to knock some sense into your ego.
You act like you're on fire,
living your delusion,
you just need you to take you higher,
off you go
You can make the call when you're ready,
I will not be there to help you break the fall
And now you wanna pretend that you're a superstar,
And now you want us to end what's taken you this far,
Don't tell me that you're done as far as we go,
you need to have a sit-down with your ego.
When everyone's gone and you walk by yourself,
you know that you're gonna come to me for help,
don't tell me that it's time for going solo,
you need to knock some sense into your ego.
And when it's time for you to come back down to,
where you started, where we parted,
I think you'll find it's very hard to face,
reality is a simple thing (?)
And now you wanna pretend that you're a superstar,
And now you want us to end what's taken you this far,
Don't tell me that you're done as far as we go,
you need to have a sit-down with your ego.
When everyone's gone and you walk by yourself,
you know that you're gonna come to me for help,
don't tell me that it's time for going solo,
you need to knock some sense into your ego.

I've been dying to say this to you
And I don't know what else to do
I've seen your fucking attitude
Well I've been doing someone that you know
It's not a secret to me anymore
'Cause I've seen you blowing around my fame
With empty words our worlds collide
It was my ego telling me why
I never thought I'd say this to you
I lied about you, regrets are useless
Was it my ego saying why
I've been dying to say this to you
And I don't know what else to do
I've seen your fucking attitude yeah
Well I've been doing someone that you know
It's not a secret to me anymore
'Cause I've seen you glowing around my fame
With empty words our worlds collide
It was my ego telling me why (You wanted someone who cared!)
With empty words our worlds collide (You needed someone to care!)
It was my ego telling me why
I never thought I'd say this to you
I lied about you, regrets are useless
Was it my ego tellin' me
Was it my ego tellin' me why

Ego

by B.o.b

[Intro: Speaking]
Ladies and gentlemen
Second Thoughts on the beat
Big up to Lace Cadence
Good lookin' out for this one, man
[Verse 1:]
I love hip hop music
I just hate the ego
The politics that follow it
Getting caught in it can be lethal
See I love the community
'Cause a community will embrace you
But you turn it back the community is the people that will hate you
See everybody's striving for that same shit
To get paid and make it
And I'll be honest, I'm trying to become famous
When someone makes a move
Watch that person next to you
Cause I'll warn ya
I love Hova but jealousy's The Takeover
Here come the mean mugs
"I can't do what he does"
And where does that lead us?
To the ego that feeds us
I wish that I could just do what I do
But when a door opens for him I'm afraid there won't be enough room
Comparison's a mother fucker
Like MLK said,
"We all want that band leader syndrome and it won't stop"
This concept makes me wonder
Is it the commodity of the music or the ego that is killing hip hop?
[Chorus:]
It's the ego
That makes me not give respect in death
It's the ego
That makes me talk shit behind people's back
You know that it's the ego
That's constantly polluting my consciousness
So ingrained in my brain that I can barely even acknowledge it
It's the ego
That makes the present moment jet lagged
I said it's the ego
That has me trippin about the next man
You know that it's the ego
That makes me not go to the front
Of the show 'cause the performers have exactly what I want
[Verse 2:]
I'm so cool
F'real?
No dude, I'm serious spit it different and if you just flow too
I'll listen lookin for glitches and rip 'em to shove improve
That my rhythm's a little bit more intricate, just to boost
My ego
Is so evil
Threatened by so many different kinds of people
It seems that if you're goin' through somethin' and life is feelin' uncomfortable
The immediate place you go is to your ego to comfort you
When Boom Bap got signed
I hated on him
When Grayskul got signed
I hated on him
And that's hard to admit
But since I'm really bein' honest
I wanted to be one of the first to make it as a Northwest rap artist
Instead of takin it as a plus for my region
I took it as a cut to my dreams of makin' it out of this political scene of Northwest haters
To be next I guess I'm just like them
Jealous of who's taking that step
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
Now everybody got one but people tryin' to front
Claimin that they on the humble but cocky
Now it comes up when we judge
Or are threatened by someone
But everyone still be like 'man that's not me'
Now let me break it down son
It's only a lack of love for ourselves
Cause we're submerged in 'I gotta be'
The best or number one
But it's just that we don't trust
In our heart and that's what stops me
It's the ego

Ego

by Crazy town

I have been contemplating
Letting go of you ego
Thought I'd let you know
You're getting old
It was so irritating saving face
When I fell from grace
Thought you'd won a race
Without a trace
But you stayed
But you remained
But you..
It's always about you
I have been quietly edging away
To keep the flames at bay
Make this puppy stay
To limit my use of personal
Pro-nouns are the death of me
See I just said me
You're an endless see
The vanity is all for you babe
For you babe
For you..
It's always about you
I have been silently taking offense
And at great expense
As my feeling dent
I'm licking my scratches
It serves no purpose
Doesn't gratify
And you're dissatisfied
And though you're belly's full
There's always more room for you babe
For you babe
For you..
It's always about you
No.. no.. don't.. don't.. oh..
Hey baby
How you doing?
You know
I'm gonna cut right
To the chase
Some women were made
But me, myself
