One Forever - Ego Death Lyrics

Yeah
Look

I held a candle lit vigil for my ego
Been tryna open doors
Know they at the peep hole
Watching my every move
Waiting on the sequel
And trying to calculate
If I am lesser
More than
Or equal
And with the greater good
Comes the necessary evils
The universal balance
Established the ethos
They equilibriums weak though
It's like a freakshow
How I've watched the downfall of my people
And when your skins black
A reputation proceeds you
So what we do
Made goals
Took the polls
And the streets too
But I've yet to see change
And I still feel strange
When I see the blue
Lights behind me
The visions of death be blind 'em
Can't let 'em George Floyd the boy dog
Rest in peace
Its the home of the free
Where they'll give you a knee
Before they give you what you need
Preach
Yeah check
Look

Black men
Caught in the talons of American eagles
Showing up like early birds
To see what we do
Lifestyles of the brown and regal
Criticized by the wandering eyes
That fail to see you truly
Beast and the beauty
Racist stereotypes in movies
Is how you knew and
It turns out
You ain't know me at all
When I asked 'em for my freedom
All they showed me was walls
But
You know I bust em down
Like a dick appointment
Left 'em with a frown
And disappointed
Covered my bases on the ground
They was stealing points
I can't turn it down
This my realest joint
So tell 'em run it back
Muhfucka
