marquis hill – ego vs. spirit lyrics

[verse]

you got the spirit, then you got the ego
spirit — spirit be like, “i don’t need it, but i got it, so i give.”
ego be like, “better keep it: needy gotta pay my rent.”
spirit be like, “treat ’em right so your daughters get a path.”
ego be like, “d-mn by offspring: i’m tryna get the -ss.”
ego — self over village
spirit — village over self: cypher over battle ever flowin’ over one off
if you can’t afford to book me
i’ma cop a ticket and still come out
and bring h-lla people because attendance is support
and because i’m thinking of the people i don’t know drinking from the reservoir
i won’t let me ego get in the way of the populous
that show i attended gave a gig or a job to the people serving the audience
i’d rather prop ’em up and add to the ambiance instead of sabotage but there is a caveat
ego be blockin’ out
sunshine for photosynthetic stopping the growth of the planet
thinking that solar is solar is planet
ignore the spirit and you’ll grow to regret it
i say if you ignore the spirit you’ll grow to regret it
it’s sort of pathetic to tell your homie you’re not paying at the do’ ‘cuz your credit
ain’t got nothin’ to do with your motive or debit
if you was broke you should have approached him humble told him and said it
ask him if he could hold you over or grant it
instead you basically told him he owes you and that you hold him for granted
that ego
put your character h-lla low on the totem indebted
friendly financial transactions ‘cuz it couldn’t hold the mechanics
plot twist
your homie’s spirit?
your homie’s spirit told him don’t don’t panic
but instead create a safe sp-ce for growth and expanding ‘cuz he know your heart
he know your heart wasn’t in the right place
fight or flight just threw it off pace
solved case
