Ego. Full Stop.

I walk in the room and the temperature changes I don't work for the crowd — the crowd works for my patience Every move I make is already three steps ahead I was winning this game before you knew the rules were set I don't follow trends — trends follow what I started I don't chase a seat at tables — I come in where it's crowded and depart it Built different from the ground, wired different from the rest Wasn't made to be average — I was made to be the best I know exactly what I am and what I bring to the floor I don't need a mirror — I already know the score Call it ego, call it pride, call it what you need to call it I call it knowing my value — and I never undersell it Ego — yeah, that's mine, I own it, I wear it Built everything from scratch and I'm not gonna share it Ego — top shelf, no apology, no shame Knew I was different the day I came Ego — I woke up like this, I'll sleep like this too The only opinion that matters in this room is mine — not you Ego — full stop, no footnote, no fine print I know what I'm worth — every single cent I don't explain my vision to people who can't afford it I don't justify my level to rooms that never saw it The work speaks — I don't need to translate I don't rush for anyone — everyone else can wait I move on my schedule, I eat on my terms I don't beg for a table — I bring what the table earns Every room I've walked into I've owned inside a minute The standard was already high — I just raised the limit I've been the most interesting person here since I walked through the door I'm not competing anymore — I already settled that score Not the loudest in the room but the one everyone watches The one they'll quote in ten years — yeah, that's who this is I don't need validation — I am the validation I don't need a co-sign — I am the co-sign I don't need the room to agree The room will catch up It always does Ego — yeah, that's mine, I own it, I wear it Built everything from scratch and I'm not gonna share it Ego — top shelf, no apology, no shame Knew I was different the day I came Ego — I woke up like this, I'll sleep like this too The only opinion that matters in this room is mine — not you Ego — full stop, no footnote, no fine print I know what I'm worth — every single cent Ego Top shelf Always was Always will be Ego Full stop
