blackalicious – ego trip by nikki giovanni lyrics

Loading...

i was born in the congo
i walked to the fertile crescent and built
the sphinx
i designed a pyramid so tough that a star
that only glows every one hundred years falls
into the center giving divine perfect light
i am bad

i sat on the throne
drinking nectar with allah
i got hot and sent an ice age to europe
to cool my thirst
my oldest daughter is nefert-ti
the tears from my birth pains
created the nile
i am a beautiful woman

i gazed on the forest and burned
out the sahara desert
with a packet of goat’s meat
and a change of clothes
i crossed it in two hours
i am a gazelle so swift
so swift you can’t catch me

for a birthday present when he was three
i gave my son hannibal an elephant
he gave me rome for mother’s day
my strength flows ever on

my son noah built new/ark and
i stood proudly at the helm
as we sailed on a soft summer day
i turned myself into myself and was
jesus
men intone my loving name
all praises all praises
i am the one who would save

i sowed diamonds in my back yard
my bowels deliver uranium
the filings from my fingernails are
semi-precious jewels
on a trip north
i caught a cold and blew
my nose giving oil to the arab world
i am so hip even my errors are correct
i sailed west to reach east and had to round off
the earth as i went
the hair from my head thinned and gold was laid
across three continents

i am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal
i cannot be comprehended except by my permission

i mean… i… can fly
like a bird in the sky…
