‘The Ego’ – Al Nafs by ilmwear
It’s the ego, which makes me that hero The ego, that makes me turn evil The ego, that ruins my people The ego, that makes me so lethal The ego that makes me so feeble Unequal and feeling so cheap so I cry, I lie and keep it all inside…
My ego means I’m never in the wrong My ego breathes the fuel of attention My ego leans my hand on oppression My ego bleeds the milk of submission My ego, cogito ergo sum – My ego that’ll lead me to Jahannam My ego that takes me from The One Ego sum qui sum – al Islam
