Ego
Beyoncé · I Am... Sasha Fierce [2008]
How you doing?
You know
I'm gonna cut right
To the chase
Some women were made
But me, myself
I like to think
I was created
For a special purpose
You know,
What's more
Special than you,
You feel me?
It's on,
Baby lets get lost
You don't need
To call into work,
Cuz you're the boss
For real want you
To show me how you feel
I consider myself
Lucky that's a big deal
Why, well,
You got the key to my heart
But you aint gonna need it
I'd rather you open up my body
And show me secrets
You didn't know was inside,
No need for me to lie
It's too big (big)
It's too wide (wide)
It's too strong (strong)
It wont fit (fit)
It's too much (much)
It's too tough (tough)
He talks like this
Cuz he can back it up
He got a big ego (Ego)
Such a huge ego
I love his big ego
It's too much
He walks like this
Cuz he can back it up
Usually I'm humble
Right now I don't choose
You can leave with me
Or you could have the blues
Some call it arrogant
I call it confidant
You decide when you find
On what I'm working with
Damn I know,
I'm killing you with them legs
Better yet them thighs
Matter a fact it's my smile
Or maybe my eyes
Boy you a site to see
Kind of something like me
It's too big (big)
It's too wide (wide)
It's too strong (strong)
It wont fit (fit)
It's too much (much)
It's too tough (tough)
I talk like this
Cuz I can back it up
I got a big ego (Ego)
Such a huge ego
But he love my big ego
It's too much
I walk like this
Cuz I can back it up
I, I walk like this
Cuz I can back it up
I, I talk like this
Cuz I can back it up
I, I can back it up
I can back it up
I walk like this
Cuz I can back it up
It's too big (big) (It's too big)
It's too wide (wide)
It's too strong (strong)
It wont fit (fit)
It's too much (much) (It's too much)
It's too tough (tough)
He talks like this
Cuz he can back it up
He got a big ego (Ego)
Such a huge ego (Such a huge ego)
I love his big ego
It's too much
He walks like this
Cuz he can back it up
Ego so big
You must admit
I got every reason
To feel like I'm that bitch
Ego so strong,
If you aint know
I don't need no beat,
I can sing it with piano
Woah, woah ohhh oh oh
Wooooaahhhh ohohhoh
Ahhhhh woah, ohh
Oh oh ooh, woah oh oh oh oh!
Oooooooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oooooooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oooooooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oooooooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ego - Beyoncé
From the album I Am... Sasha Fierce, "Ego" stands as a pivotal moment in Beyoncé's discography, marking a shift toward a more introspective and vulnerable tone within her broader musical narrative. Released in 2008, the track explores themes of self-doubt and the struggle to maintain one's identity amidst external expectations, contrasting sharply with the confident persona often associated with her earlier work. The song's production blends R&B sensibilities with a raw, emotional delivery that highlights her growth as a songwriter and performer during this era. It serves as a testament to her ability to delve into complex psychological landscapes, offering listeners a glimpse into the personal challenges she faced while navigating her rapidly expanding career and public image.
