Chorus
What you gon do when you grow up (abrabɔ)
Is ego enough to take you over
What you gon do what you gon do what you gon do
Is ego enough to take you over

Verse
Blinded by excitement, seeking new enlightenment
Ghanaman original, cynical, these are fragments
Of thoughts so lost maybe homeless on a park bench
Heart wrench heartbreak shit, excuse my French
Days without showers body stench but in my defence
My euros ain't plural and my dollars ain't making sense
Stolen innocence on the face is evidence
Pestilence, negligence, meek might turn into militant
Intelligent immigrants ducking from government
Denizens and citizens, false sense of entitlement 
Arrogant kings get robbed in the right environment
Like Tyson after Buster Douglas wondering where the title went
The hubris of loose lips
Might hurt a feel feelings if they still living they will sink ships
Most definite, strings no guitar riffs
Not trying to be the hardest or a con artist
I'm a modern day Calloway hideaway wisdom a mile away
Hi-de hi-de-ho well what do you know it's Hathaway
Little ghetto child running wild it's for you I pray
It's a world of sinners and predators hope you Ain't prey
I pray for your ego
Even though you need a little to fiddle with dignity, i know
Excited about kindred spirit in whom you put your faith though
Like Lila in Dexter, way before he sexed here
In this movie of life off course I’m not an extra
Got a main role on payroll for my lectures
In the land of kings why apply for court jester
Shield of Jah guide me be my protector
“Expecter” of despair I’m aware it's on the come up
So I ain't the same dude that I was last summer
Reasonable doubt, cable is indeed bs
So I keep my eye open on PBS
And a lot changed since i came to the u.s
Still got African connects from New York to the west
You guessed right, my life has been so eventful
So now I just wanna be successful
Don't measure success as dem others do
I'm coming thru, incognito like dem undercovers do
Devil's brew sip and think you number one and shit
Reign on top shorter than celebrity relationships
It ain't kosher but I gotta bring closure
Reunite like mike and Evander on Oprah
Older so I'm hip to this here life science
After this you will hear the deafening sound of silence...
Chorus
What you gon do when you grow up
Is ego enough to take you over
What you gon do what you gon do what you gon do
Is ego enough to take you over x2
