Ego Trippin’ and You Know the Reason Why (Yeah, I Rewrote Nikki Giovanni. Sue Me…)

My mom gave birth to me in a tornado

My familial features inspired the Sphinx

I’m so fly, that when I walk in a room

Even the brightest star must bow

Yeah, I’m that bad

I sit on a throne and drink sweet nectar with Allah

When I’m hot, I start ice ages

I use monsoons to quench my thirst

My first love was Nefertiti

The tears she shed over our breakup formed the Nile

I am the original man

My piercing gaze burned down a forest and made the Sahara Desert

With a two-piece from Popeye’s and a bottle of Vitamin Water

I crossed it in under an hour

Like a gazelle, I’m so swift

I move too quick for you to see me

For a birthday present when I turned three

My mother gave me an elephant

I gave her Rome for Mother’s Day

Through me, her strength flows on

My brother Noah built an ark and I stood proudly at the helm

As we sailed on a soft summer’s day

I looked at my reflection on the water and saw Jesus

That’s why men intome my loving name and offer me all praises

For I am the one that saves

I grow diamonds in my backyard

Right next to the platinum

The trimmings from my beard are semi-precious jewels

On a trip up north, I caught a nasty flu

My runny nose gave oil to the world

I’m so fly, even my errors are correct

I flew east to head west and bless the world as I went

It’s that my fingerprints left gold on at least five continents

I’m so perfect, so divine, unbelievable yet so real

I can’t be comprehended without my expressed permission

Like I said, I’m fly

Just call me “Bird in the Sky”
