From Quincy -
"..Ego was originally going to be named "My Job Sux" or "I hate my job" something along that nature. But I didn't want it to come off as whiny, when I was just vocalizing what it's like working as an electrician with a schedule of 7 days p/week and 15+ hour days.
I released this song following "self excusing" myself of my apprenticeship position.
This song is meant to inspire people to do what's necessary for them. You can always fail, but you won't know until you test your theory.."
Lyrics
"Quincy..
Ethan told me you quit
So I'm calling to talk to you"
(I can't believe I'm even awake right now)
"Give me a call back, please"
(FUCK!)
Yeah, yeah,
It's,
Three in the morning once again
I can't sleep off to work in my head
Why the fuck they think,
That I don't wanna be in bed?
Why the fuck am I,
Makin' a millionaire bread?!
I know that if I work at it
I can make
100 times that
Same way I planned to do with
Dubs and dime bags
Maybe I'll rewind that
Easy said
When I'm mad
Drop the fucking ball like
I got tackled by a lineback (OH!)
Everybody here so serious though, like..
(Sir, this is sober living
Please put down the phone)
I said everybody here's so serious though
I get lost inside my ego
Take a look around
Paranoid who are these people,
I can't make a sound
It goes like
(ohhh ohh, oh, oh,)
Ohhh, and it goes like
(Ohh, oh, oh, ohh, oh)
So what's worse than a fiend
For a TikTok like
You can't cure the disease
And get 'em hooked on life
I used to..
Do it for my ego
Now I,
Do it for my people
Tell 'em that I got 'em
And it's us against the evils
Please don't let your spirit break
Even if I let go
I don't think I'll let go
Figured I should let you know
I'd rather be a vegetable
Than have to work electrical
Cuz I hate this shit
And I wanna be human
I fuckin' hate this shit
My job makes me..
Feel like I'm useless!
Oh, I get lost inside my ego
Take a look around
Paronoid who are these people,
I can't make a sound
It goes like
(ohhh ohh, oh, oh,)
Ohhh, and it goes like
(Ohh, oh, oh, ohh, oh)
I get lost
I get lost in here!
I get lost
Inside my Ego
I get lost
(I got lost in my ego)
