Ego Maniacs Songtext
von Ice Cube

All you hos (all you hos)
You know (you know how it go), it′s my ego
Yeah (my ego's the cheat code)

My hero was a Nigga With an Attitude, leader of a Lench Mob
Bought me a ′6-4 just to watch it Crip hop
Told the teacher, "I'ma grow up, make hardcore hip-hop"
And bitch, I did it, big bank made big knots
Little nigga 'bout his bankroll, fuck stank hoes
Three days straight, I was trappin′ in the same clothes
Fuck gold, nigga rather pay for the studio
Bought the golds and the Vogues and the lows and the pros

Bought the pounds and the rounds and the house and the hos
I′m talking real player shit like my man Too $hort
And back to the motherfucking basics
Nigga keep a .4-4 on 'em, ′cause you're too two-faced
Goddammit, I am it, I′m so dynamic
This guy, goddammit, spit fire, cause damage
I refuse to be moved by these new school antics
That's it, I′m the shit, bitch, this shit jammin' (ya know)


They know it's my ego
All you hos (all you hos), you know (you know how it go)
It′s my ego (yeah, my ego′s the cheat code)

Before I Crip walk it out, I'm the one he talkin′ 'bout
Knock you out, wake you up, break you up, chalk you out
Ain′t no checking in, bitches, just checking out
One nigga soak it in, one nigga stressin' out
Go the hunnid route, by the haunted house
Like Boyz n the Hood, the nigga wanted out
Homie, let him out, then we skirted out
South Central, bitch, fuck what you heard about

Lollipops get molly-whopped (molly-whopped)
You′re probably opp, so your ass will probably drop
My ego's the cheat code (yeah)
Think twice before you go beast mode
Nigga kill a demon in a hurry (in a hurry)
You the goat, I make curry
Bitch, Steph Curry will bury (will bury)
Them threes like Tom, Dick, and Harry
Leave them colonizers in the cemetery now


They know it's my ego
All you hos (all you hos), you know (you know how it go)
It′s my ego (yeah, my ego′s the cheat code)

Yo
And as a young wild nigga that was moving and that was lit out
A young Busta that was buggin', tryna figure shit out
Got my name from Chuck D, and I was hype like, "What′s the drilly?"
Then came the birth of Leaders of the New, fucking up Spectrum City
Yeah, and I remember to this day
Cube and N.W.A. was beefin', the group was in a disarray
Stayed at the stu′ on school nights late, lookin' forward to a spankin′
Couldn't believe who pulled up to 510 South Franklin

P.E. headquarters, thinking 'bout Turks and Caicos
Chuck and Hank pulled up with Cube, while a nigga lookin′ like Thanos
They know what was about to happen like they had Dracos
In their hip line curating and strategizing AmeriKKKa′s Most
Wanted and he haunted MCs and walked with machetes
I never seen this act of hunger from rappers platinum already
Thank you, Cube, I got my foot up on the clutch
While shifting the gear, I learned how to win while not giving a fuck, nigga

They know it's my ego
All you hos (all you hos), you know (you know how it go)
It′s my ego (yeah, my ego's the cheat code, and we about to reload)
It′s my ego
All you hos (all you hos), you know (you know how it go)
It's my ego (yeah, my ego′s the cheat code, and we about to reload)
