LYRICS

Long live the idols/
May they never be our rivals/
Kool Herc was like Jesus, Bambaataa wrote the bible/
What you bout to hear is a tale of Ego we see/
KRS, ma mentor let the story begin/

VERSE
I was chilling in ma hood about 8 o clock/
When i heard the legend Nasty Nas he did a song/
I googled d link downloaded right there so/
I found out the nigga spit a verse for J.Cole/
First off, i was so happy to see Hip Hop alive/
But i was sad cos Nigerian Hip Hop is the type/
The type that kills the kulture/
The type that Ego rules, arrogance over greener pastures/
Legends look down on us/
While we stay hyping these cats, push it to the limit so they can notice us/
I speak truth and damn the consequences/Im a real emcee not a dumb ass mercenary/
We tryna make it but they dont allow it/
We show respect to who deserves respect but they call it famzing/
When u was coming up we niggaz showed u love/
Aint nothing more legendary than pulling niggaz up/
Thats giving back to society/
Helping a dope artiste come up in your own way is originality/
They keep saying how they real/
But i see em as the fake ones if they aint seeing the skill/
In the upcomings, F your Ego, thats a short coming/
F your arrogance son, there’ll be no second coming/
Without the ego no doubt we would be great again/
I’ve done ma little part so its left for u veterans/
Word to the upcoming artistes who say they wanna blow/
But keep taking sides in beefs, u gotta let it go/
They keep posting crap on twitter/
Tryna look good instead of pushing your music out the way you should/
The end is near, so kill that ego/
Meditate on ma words now and see yourself grow/
Never disrespect an artichect of this art/
Never lose focus, banish arrogance frm ur sight/
This damn Ego let us down/
Damn! Its so clear to me that this damn Ego Let us down/
Truth man! Aint gotta preach for u to see that this damn ego let us down/

Long live the idols/
May they never be our rivals/
Eedris was like Jesus, Trybes Men wrote the bible/
What you just heard is a tale of Ego we see/
In the industry, thats how the story ends/
