Put that ego away
This is not the place for it to stay.
Put that pride aside
It only shows your ugly side.
You're full of envy
you're no friend of me.
You say you're proud,
all I see is jealousy.
Do you remember the time
When what was yours was mine.
And when I had a dime
I gave it to you to shine.
We were partners, friends, brothers
Didn't matter that we had separate mothers.
Do you remember when we had that fight?
Me talking, you swinging, that was a crazy night.
I remember the time we said “we down for whatever”
Who would have known those words were so clever.
Back in the day my man, my brother...eh, eh sounded so cool
Yeah right, you and I both were the fools.
“Yo, Ima do this”, “Ima do that”
That was all I said
You listened and slowly bobbed your head.
I talked about the crazy dreams I had.
The fly women, the crazy cars, and the fresh pad.
I talked about this... I talked about that.
I forgot about my man who always had my back.
“Sh_t” as I look into the mirror and recollect.
All I see is that young dumb “Muther.... “
with nothing but regret.
I thought it was you,
I said, “why you hating?”
Then I realized it was me
that messed up the “we.”
As I look in my Gem-i-ni
I resisted it but still can't tell the lie.
The friend of me
was my jealousy
That pride
was all mine
That ego
was my flow
I was the hater
that stifled the creator.
It took me so long to call it for what
it was, hatred of self, in other words... self-hatred.
My brother
my friend
my partner till the end.
I apologize for the years of working
against you instead of with you.
So let me start again
perhaps we can amend.
Let me start with this,
my name is VECUS.
Have a great Friday!
Stay safe!
