Gaye, Marvin - Ego Tripping Out Lyrics






Hey homeboy, how come everywhere you go
You have to go in a limousine, man?

Hey, man that's my thing

I know it's your thing
Every time I see you, you're awful clean
You got your rings, jewelry on
Y'know

Flashin' cash is what I need

I can understand it

Oohh
I got the baddest cool
Could never be the fool
The ladies wait to get down with me
The love I make's superb
To doubt me is absurd
The latest and the greatest, you see

Oohh oo oohh
I want to have your spot
And more than what you got
I bought the baddest house I could find
All it must be said I'm greatest in the bed
And when I love a lady she's mine
I know I'm really hot
My diamonds shine a lot
Check out here this 450 SE babe (Ego trippin' out)

I'm what's its all about
Ego tripping out (hey, tripping out, hey tripping out, you're tripping out, your tripping out)
Ahh ha hey hey
Without a doubt
I know we ego tripping out
Sometimes it's a shame
But it caused so much pain
He don't want you, baby
I know you ego tripping out
'times it's a shame but it can't do without
Without a doubt
I know you're ego tripping out
Hey she don't know it
But ain't it a shame, all the pain to come

I'm better than the rest
Check out the way I dress
And got a lot of money to spend
The best club in town
Is where I get down
You're lucky if I choose you my friend

Walk the greatest walk
I got to be the talk
I've got the greatest show in town
Woohoo! Rock with your other man then roll over to me
So I can thrill your soul baby
Aoow check out the love man standing tall and bold
Can fulfill your needs, too cold, baby
Needless to say, I'm your greatest play
Ego tripping out, ooh, ego tripping out
Yeah, ego tripping out, woooh!

In my mind what it's for
Got a sweet tooth for the chick on the floor
Walking in my shoes
Walking to the beat
Still got some love inside
And some good old body heat
Aoow
Oh, baby
Spread the news
Only here to deepen my soul
No it ain't about money
Aoow
Turn the fear into energy
'cause the toot and the smoke
Won't fulfil the need
Aoow hey, hey
Only one way
Only one way
Wooh!
Feel the feelin, energy of the kiss

Gaye, Marvin Ego Tripping Out Comments
  1. M.... ....

    What man wouldn’t want to be Marvin??

  2. B.... G....

    Jamelle Scott, not true, Marvin didn't die at age 40.

  3. E.... N....

    One of the greatest american singers and front man, im glad to see him while his famous and alive

  4. M.... ....

    Just listening to In our lifetime? album for the first time. To be honest I wasn't expecting too much. I should've known better as I went into Here my dear, with the same low expectations and that's now probably my favourite Marvin Gaye album! First impressions are that I need to get In our lifetime?, and fast!

    M.... ....

    Same here. Knowing the history of "Here, My Dear" - that it was just to fulfill his contractual obligations to his ex-wife - I never even listen to it until perhaps five years ago.
    Was very pleasantly surprised.

    M.... ....

    “In Our Lifetime?” [purposely written with the “?“ to honor Marvin’s original wishes] is one of, if not the most, underrated MPG albums. Even the obviously unfinished “Far Cry” ain’t a bad song. 🤷🏾‍♀️

  5. E.... ?....

    Put in the mind of Curtis Mayfield

  6. R.... L....

    This right here??? CLASSIC!!! Never seen this before and I'm shook!!! Still bangin in 2019!!! Love It!!!💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤

    R.... L....

    Yes it is!!

  7. T.... D....

    Who disliked This???? Marvin Was A Pure Musical Genius.....

  8. C.... a....

    Marvin was so cool..

  9. C.... R....

    Marvin was way ahead of his time with this one. RS. Cocaine may have contributed to this. and I can understand y he was heavy into it but he was hurt. Had to give her everything and move back with his parents But nevertheless. It's a classic

    C.... R....

    Facts, all facts

  10. 2.... ....

    Y’all do know that this was created at his most weakest and insecure point? He was talking about Teddy Pendergrass this was all to shade Teddy. Y’all have to understand the back story to how and why this song was created! His wife’s book Jan Gaye sheds light on some of the craziest shit! Marvin was a fool but he was talented

    2.... ....

    This song very well may have intended to be about TP or shading TP but it becomes pretty obvious by the end that MG is indeed referring to himself. “Turn the fear into energy ‘cause the toot and the smoke, it won’t fulfill the need. Only one way, only one way.” 💡

  11. J.... S....

    Sexy man

  12. J.... S....

    It was his last single when he was 40 years old and had hours to live

  13. E.... C....

    Life With Marvin Gaye, Jan Gaye said this song was about Teddy Pendergrass. (Marvin was upset with Teddy's rising star & Jan's attraction to him) but also about Marvin himself.

  14. J.... a....

    Marvin Gaye - the best! That was when real talent made you feel good, no one else can make you feel as cool as Marvin!
    That's why I cannot listen to this song one time, talk about a loop, same way with The Anthology Album, "What's Goin' On"
    no words to express the genius of Marvin Gaye. RIP All the good music is definitely gone, but always remembered.

  15. K.... Y....

    I love Marvin Gaye Jr. so much.

  16. m.... ....

    This was a single, part 1 and 2 on A and B side, for an album that never came together. Cocaine is a hell of a drug. This was Marvin Gaye hitting rock bottom.

    m.... ....

    since then, it finally surfaced as bonus tracks on the deluxe edition of "In Our Lifetime" 2CD. Originally called "Love Man" it consisted of basically the same instrumental tracks that were released as "in our lifetime" with different lyrics.

    m.... ....

    modifiedcontent Man has been rejected and beaten and abused by his dad.
    This man has my childhood.

  17. L.... C....

    Marvin Gaye is just the best

  18. 7.... ....

    Nice B-side track from his last Motown LP. Marvin was always on the "cutting edge" of music. Fitting the new phenomenon of Rap music introducing rhyme into this track.

  19. C.... R....

    What show is this from? Peace!

    C.... R....

    I'll bet it was Solid Gold.

    C.... R....

    Good Looking Out! Peace!

    C.... R....

    Dinah and Friends (the Dinah Shore Show).
