Ego Die lyrics

[Verse 1] I got your message, I don’t have to reply Fool me once, never twice Only reach out when you need help or advice Don’t @ me, I’m not nice Everyone tells me I’m loyal and I stay down, nah I’m loyal to myself now I've been naive I regret what I allowed My life’s not your playground Ooooo Fool me once never twice Ooooo You’ll find out, I bite [Verse 2] Every time I try to get you to listen You act like the victim Rage on me, make a scene, ignore my feelings But this time I’m different Ooooo No, I’m not your villain Ooooo But I’m not your friend [Chorus] Don't look now it's about to get ugly, yeah Not gonna believe your eyes Tried and tried now I'm shaking you off me, yeah Leave you to your own demise like La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Imma let your ego die like La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Cos I’m no longer your supply (Ego, ego ga anwu onwu Ego, ego ga anwu onwu) Imma let your ego die, die, die, die (Ego, ego ga anwu onwu) Cos I’m no longer your supply [Verse 3] I'm speaking up, does it come as a surprise? Baby, from now on it's soft life I poured into you Flew you to Paris in June But all the things that I did, that was just enabling you So I’m unlearning, put the work in, and I’m in therapy You’re so entitled, egocentric, you got no empathy And the deeper I look Mmm now I’m onto you good The word's narcissist And honey you’re textbook Ooooo No, I’m not your villain, nah, nah Ooooo But I’m not your friend [Chorus] Don't look now it's about to get ugly, yeah Not gonna believe your eyes Tried and tried now I'm shaking you off me, yeah Leave you to your own demise like La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Imma let your ego die like La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Cos I’m no longer your supply (Ego, ego ga anwu onwu Ego, ego ga anwu onwu) Imma let your ego die, die, die, die (Ego, ego ga anwu onwu Ego, ego ga anwu onwu) Cos I’m no longer your supply (Ego, ego ga anwu onwu Ego, ego ga anwu onwu) Imma let your ego die, die, die, die (Ego, ego ga anwu onwu) Cos I’m no longer your supply
