Ill System - Ego Check

Some people need to get their heads in check
Power is a drug that makes a bad man flex
Gets em higher than a night of cocaine and more
Dopamine straight to the brain from war

The ego is a thing that terrifies
And once you feed the beast you got to keep him satisfied
For everything you do we must pay the price
If Napoleon says it, then it must be right?

Destroy the body and the head will die
Don't feed the ego or watch a maniac rise
Forget what you heard, they're not looking out for your interests
You're on your own, you better learn the business

So many sharks swimming round my boat
So many dogs snapping at my coat
Sleep with one eye open til the break of dawn
Then keep the other open til the early morning
Bring a ring of fire round the King
Let the motherfucker burn, this canary won't sing
We just running and running and running round in circles
Still making words up, still got a purpose

Destroy the body and the head will die
Don't feed the ego or watch a maniac rise
Forget what you heard, they're not looking out for your interests
You're on your own, you better learn the business

Destroy the body and the head will die
Don't feed the ego or watch a maniac rise
We gonna turn this flame into a fire
Take what you want, break what you want, leave what you don't like behind
