[Intro]
[Verse 1: ECHO]
I got an ego, sometimes it takes over
My soul fights with it, and I'm the whole soldier
No army fatigues, but I'm tired and older
Fuck the world, I be on my own shoulders
I stay high, but my vibration lowers
I need to cut that shit out, lawnmowers
A blade cuts a blade of grass, I'll show ya
A new way of thinking, wake up and smell the Folger's
Nobody owes ya, that's the ego talkin'
When I'm walkin' around, I put my fears in coffins
I'm Dodgin' blues, the Angels, they're red
The Devil's been dead, he was never in my head
I'm consciousness, so my soul stays fed
You could never break my spirit, even if we break bread
The ego stays scared, my soul it's brave
Allegory Of The Cave, walk with me
[Hook]
Id, ego, superego, soul
Reason, spirit, lust, whoa
Learn to control these things you flow
Cause life is a river, better learn how to row
So many levels, you don't even know
It's a battle inside between my ego and soul (3X)
[Verse 2: ECHO]
I got a soul and I love when it drives
It takes the wheel and the ego just rides
I've lived many lives, I stay learnin'
I see those hurdles and my soul stays swervin'
Nobody's perfect, I know one thing's certain
If my soul is on fire, then the passion is burning'
I keep turnin' pages, the flesh ages
My vibe raises and my soul, it's ageless
My mind, faceless and that really matters
Everything is atoms and that's what makes matter
And what controls atoms, is consciousness
That's how I make a fist, how I spit like this
How I walk around the planet, how I think so quick
Everything is fuckin' backwards, Mxyzptlk
If my ego is bruised well that's easy to fix
Cause it's not that big to begin with nicca
[Hook]
Id, ego, superego, soul
Reason, spirit, lust, whoa
Learn to control these things you flow
Cause life is a river, better learn how to row
So many levels, you don't even know
It's a battle inside between my ego and soul (3X)
[Verse 3: ECHO]
So who's the pilot, who flies me?
Consciousness behind my E-Y-E
I'm not just a body, I am more than that
And I love hip-hop, but this is more than rap
And I love Showbiz, this that new Soul Clap
And the ego is strong, but we over that
Fuck fear, jealousy, and those other traps
Like guilt, resentment and these color gaps
Those are all ego trips, you ain't gotta pack
That's a pretty shitty journey, you may not come back
And that's far from home, you done roamed too far
I wannabe a superstar, but that's my ego dawg
And I overstand that, so I shift my focus
I used to be insecure, I just want to be noticed
And my heart was the coldest, I thought I was hot
But like a hologram of 2Pac, you could see through me nicca
[Hook]
Id, ego, superego, soul
Reason, spirit, lust, whoa
Learn to control these things you flow
Cause life is a river, better learn how to row
So many levels, you don't even know
It's a battle inside between my ego and soul (3X)
