Not ego

INTRO

Mmm…

Don’t call it ego… (don’t…)

You ain’t live this…

HOOK

You can’t walk in my shoes, they heavy (too heavy…)

Every scar got weight, but I carry it steady

They say ego, I say it’s evidence in me (facts…)

Try this life, you wouldn’t last for a minute

PROLOGUE

Look good outside…

But you ain’t see what it took.

VERSE 1

Held it together with cracks in my chest (still…)

Showed up broken, still gave my best (no rest…)

Four little hearts, I can’t fold, can’t press (my babies…)

Buried my pain, put my soul to the test

Ain’t nobody save me, I built it alone (alone…)

Turned every loss into strength I own

They see confidence, say my ego grown

But it’s nights I survived they ain’t never known

PRE-CHORUS

You don’t know what it cost me (cost…)

Every loss built a boss in me (boss…)

I don’t talk, I just walk it (walk it…)

That’s why they keep watchin’ me

CHORUS

You can’t walk in my shoes, they heavy (too heavy…)

Every scar turned gold, don’t test me

This ain’t ego, it’s proof I survived it (survived it…)

Every piece of me real, I don’t hide it

VERSE 2

Don’t confuse my peace for a place you can play (don’t…)

If it ain’t mutual effort, move out my way

I gave too much, now I measure my space (space…)

I don’t shrink just to keep you in place

Every tear turned power, I leveled it up (up…)

Every moment alone, I was buildin’ me up

Now I walk like I know I’m enough (I do…)

You can’t carry this weight, it’s too much

PRE-CHORUS

You don’t know what it took (took…)

Every scar wrote the book in me

I don’t speak, I get seen (seen…)

That’s the reason you look at me

CHORUS

You can’t walk in my shoes, they heavy (too heavy…)

Every scar turned gold, don’t test me

This ain’t ego, it’s proof I survived it

Every piece of me real, I don’t hide it

VERSE 3

Empty inside but I still stood tall (still…)

Had babies to raise, I couldn’t fall

Learned how to love me through it all (I did…)

Now I stand, they can’t break me at all

You can’t copy what grew in the dark (you can’t…)

You ain’t carry that pain in your heart

Now I move like I know who I are (I know…)

Every scar turned me into a star

BRIDGE

Don’t call it ego…

If you ain’t felt that pressure…

Don’t speak on me…

If you ain’t lived my weather…

FINAL CHORUS

You can’t walk in my shoes, they heavy (so heavy…)

Every step made the woman you see

This ain’t ego, it’s all that I’ve been through

Every scar turned proof I’m me

OUTRO

Mmm…

Not ego…

Just evidence.
