about

Ego is the 2nd release of Alex Mighten's 6 weekly release track. Produced by Zoutr of The
Elementz, it features J Littles in a track focusing on the Ego and how it gets in our way if we let
it.
Delivered over a driving Hip Hop break and infectious yet sparingly distributed trumpet stabs,
the hook has an infectious singalong vibe that everyone can get down to. The third verse sees
them interweave expertly between each others lines - a thrilling ride through the human psyche.

lyrics

It's only your ego
Getting in the way wherever you go (Just your ego)
Just your ego
Getting in the way, wherever you go (Just your ego)

Ay yo, I been bumping heads with my pride
Can't tell me nuttin
F*** I look like, looking like I'm begging suttin
Being wrong is a mindset that I struggle to digest
I dodged conflict and mastered the side step
That's how the bull sh** missed me
That's how I create this image of ignorance and bravado
That carries with it this stigma and vibe if you don't get me
Tried to change but it stays with me
Bruv I just did a tour and my people didn't check me
They say they was busy but I feel they don't respect me
And I won't pick up the phone cos my ego don't let me
I ain't even got the life that my ego's living
I'm even in the car being ego driven
Another n***** done a life of sinning
Gloating anytime I'm winning
Another side of me I'll try forgiving

Only your ego
Getting in the way wherever you go (Just your ego)
Just your ego
Getting in the way, wherever you go (Just your ego)

Why ain't I progressing? Feel like I'm static
Pissed off with the congestion, yet I am traffic
Sense of entitlement? Yeah, life can be a pr**k
On my Aaliyah sh*t dust myself off and try again (If at first you don't succeed)
That's the mantra
There's layers to this, when i feel low, that I gotta peel off
Beneath deep loss what is revealed is the answer
So I take my Ls in silence like the 'G' in lasagne
Come back fighting, bare hooks, Abu Hamza
Regenerating by painting illusions with a stanza
Surrounded by those with delusions a grandeur
Got me scratching my head confused with the dandruff
Are they turning a leaf? or stay perusing the chapter
Absorb the message learn to adore they blessings, or
Dig into their essence from here to the ever after
See the the light in it's fluorescence

It's only your ego
Getting in the way wherever you go (Just your ego)
Just your ego
Getting in the way, wherever you go (Just your ego)

Is it leading you astray?
I see you counting your likes instead of your blessings any time that you
Wait. Forget the level of greatness that's assigned to you
Enslaved to them dopamine hits they designed for you
This rhyme for you
Is asking why do you feel your entitled to
Money jewellery and followers that think your
Likeable, but its all
Recyclable, find true validation
Inside of you
Belly full when you swallow ya… pride

Only your ego
Getting in the way wherever you go (Just your ego)
Just your ego
Getting in the way, wherever you go
Wherever you go (Just your ego)
