Ty Dolla $ign Ego Death
During the Yandhi era, Kanye West and frequent collaborator Ty Dolla $ign began working on what has been described as a follow-up to their hit single “Fade.” The hip-house track was previewed at a Coachella party, unveiling contributions by FKA twigs, Skrillex, and Serpentwithfeet. The song was called “Ego Death.”
Over one full year has passed and still, the track was nowhere to be found. This week though, Ty Dolla $ign started hinting at its arrival again, slowly uncovering the artwork with an animated cartoon of himself next to blurred out characters. Day by day, Ty unblurred his friends, which included FKA twigs, Skrillex, Serpentwithfeet, and finally, Kanye West.
The song is officially out, marking the possibility of a new album from Ty Dolla $ign coming soon. “Ego Death” was originally meant to be the lead single for his forthcoming body of work. In it, Ty discusses how he has changed for his loved ones.

Lyrics
[Intro: Ty Dolla $ign, Xaviera Gold]
You used to know how to love me right
You used to know how to love me right
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 1: Ty Dolla $ign]
You’ve got some things on your mind
I would hate to see you cry
Ego death is where you find happiness
That’s the only place you find happiness
Off too many drugs, it’s so bad for us
One too many drinks and you had enough
[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
Murdered my ego when you walked away
It hurt my ego when you walked away
Gave you my all, that wouldn’t make you stay
Murdered my ego when you walked away
[Verse 2: Ty Dolla $ign]
You wear this look on your face
So much animosity
Ego death is where you find happiness
That’s the only place you find happiness
Way too many drugs, it’s so bad for us
One too many drinks and you had enough
[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
Murdered my ego when you walked away
It hurt my ego when you walked away
(Woo, woo-woo-woo-woo, woo, woo-woo-woo-woo)
Gave me your all, that wouldn’t make me stay
Murdered my ego when you walked away
(Woo, woo-woo-woo-woo)
[Interlude: Kanye West, Ultra Naté]
Hold on, this train going by
Free to do what you want to do
You’ve got to live your life
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Lotta people be thinkin’, but I’m just a sayer (Sayer, sayer)
Artists can’t perform the Super Bowl (Super Bowl), but it’s okay for the players? (Players, players)
All these half-way movements (Movements), need a whole lot improvement (Improvement)
Everybody wanna talk, everybody wanna type
Ain’t nobody finna do sh–
And everybody throwin’ dirt (Dirt), all that talk won’t work
All that talk don’t work, now, who you think you talkin’ to nerd? (Nerd)
But w-w-w-w-w-wait, it get worse (Worse)
Wait, it-wait, it-wait, it been bad (Bad)
Showin’ up to the Grammy’s mad (Mad)
Tryna win some’ we already have
Tryna become some’ we already are (Are)
Don’t make me go Rastafar’
If you do, no try, no dyin’, we livid, I’m livin’, I get more specific
All these admirations, likes, and false validations
Feed into our ego, talk for somethin’, negro (Negro)
One in four get locked up, your girlfriend get knocked up
Plan B was they Plan A to lower the count of our families
To lower the count on our damn votes
[Bridge: Kanye West, serpentwithfeet]
Let the man quote (Your joy isn’t tied to me)
Who dropped drones on ’em? (Dropped drones on ’em)
Ye, don’t take that tone on ’em (Your joy isn’t tied to me, yeah)
Don’t go Watch The Throne on ’em
Just hit a billi’, he goin’ on ’em (Your joy isn’t tied to me)
(Your joy isn’t tied to me)
[Outro: FKA Twigs, Queen Latifah]
I let my ego down and then I rise back up
I let my ego down and then the beast come back
I’m armed, to let a sucker step up and get bombed
By a beat created by my producer
I am losin’ my mind ’cause your heart’s so blind
When you left me outside, I be losin’ my mind
I am losin’ my mind ’cause your heart’s so blind
When you left me outside, I be losin’ my mind
It’s gonna cost you to be great
You will have to sacrifice something to be great
