Ego Tripping Out Lyrics
[Intro]
Hey homeboy, how come everywhere you go
You have to go in a limousine, man?
Hey, man that's my thing
I know it's your thing
Every time I see you, you're awful clean
You got your rings, and jewelry on
Y'know, you a ...
Flashin' cash is what I need, boss
I can understand it
Ooh
[Verse 1]
I got the baddest cool
Could never be the fool
The ladies wait to get down with me
The love I make's superb
To doubt me is absurd
The latest and the greatest, you see
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I want to have your spot
And more than what you got
I bought the baddest house I could find
All, it must be said
I'm greatest in the bed
And when I love a lady, she's mine
I know I'm really hot
My diamonds shine a lot
Check out this here 450 SE, babe (Ego trippin' out)
[Chorus]
I'm what's its all about
Ego tripping out
Ooh, baby
(Tripping out, hey, you're tripping out
Hey, you're tripping out, hey, you're tripping out)
Ahh ha, hey hey
(Hey, you're tripping out, hey, you're tripping out
Hey, you're tripping out, hey, you're tripping out)
Without a doubt
[Bridge]
I know we ego tripping out
Sometimes it's a shame
But it caused so much pain
He don't want you, baby (I know you)
He ego tripping out
'Times it's a shame, but it can't do without, ooh
Without a doubt
I know you're ego tripping out
Hey, she don't know it
But ain't it a shame, all the pain to come
[Verse 3]
I'm better than the rest
Check out the way I dress
And got a lot of money to spend
The best club in town
Is where I get down
You're lucky if I choose you, my friend
[Verse 4]
Aye, walk the greatest walk
I got to be the talk
I've got the greatest show in town
Woohoo! Rock with your other man, then roll over to me
So I can thrill your soul, baby
Aoow, check out the love man standing tall and bold
Can fulfill your needs, too cold, baby
Needless to say, I'm your greatest play
[Chorus]
Ego tripping out
Ooh, ego tripping out
Yeah, ego tripping out
Woo!
[Outro]
In my mind
What it's for
Got a sweet tooth
For the chick on the floor
Walking in my shoes, ooh
Walking to the beat
Still got some love inside
And some good old body heat
Aoow!
Oh, baby
Spread the news
Only here to deepen my soul
No, it ain't about money
Aoow!
Turn the fear, ooh, into energy, baby
'Cause the toot and the smoke, ooh
Won't fulfil the need
Aoow, hey, hey
Only one way
Only one way
Wooh!
Ooh, baby
Feel the feelin', ooh, energy of the kiss
Aoow!
Think of all
The work I put in
