Ego / Transience

Clinging on the praise just a little
And at times I’m in the mental
There’s times where I felt, a drive to the pride, many knelt in my mind
On a rock I’m atop all these pelts

The light touch kingdoms, I want it
Bands in the wallet
Crowns, I'm not modest
A throne fit for the king, need my plaques on the wall so they catch what I did

I been caught in a rift
Cause every time that I be sitting in silence, I be feeling the finest
And then my Ego kick in, opposite it
I’m conditioned to violencе, on myself I’m a nihilist huh

All these things that wе want, serve to expose the addictions we got
I’m addicted to thoughts, my attachments
The Ego running got me rampant

Must be the ego, shit what do we know

(transition)

Yeah
Okay you got me talking
Cause while the moves I'm making got my grandchildren popping
Can’t stand building damned grand castles, all these sand sculptures
Fade no options, eventually that hourglass stopping

Eventually that cuckoo bird dropping dead, doctor said
Stopping tread - mills ain’t be swinging in these villes still
There go the hero and villain
That fake duality, the narrative they spinning

These spider underwriters bidding up my stock
That public offering inflated, ursus triple-leveraged flop
These arachnids been attacking
These temporary actors tryna stack it
But how much can you fit up in your casket?

Really this the way, transience, you can’t stand it
And shit really neither can I
I need a piece of that pie
I need a piece of the sky
I need a piece ‘fore I die
Shit where’s my damn third eye
