“Ego”, de Beyoncé

“Ego” és una cançó R & B de la cantant nord-americana Beyoncé, escrita i produïda per Elvis “BlacElvis” Williams, Harold Lilly, i Knowles, per al seu tercer àlbum d’estudi I Am.. Sasha Fierce. Va ser llançada el 19 de maig de 2009 com cinquè senzill a partir de l’edició deluxe de l’àlbum. El remix compta amb la col·laboració del raper Kanye West que s’inclou al CD/DVD “Above and Beyoncé – Video Collection & Dance Mixes”.

“Ego” es va pensar com el tercer senzill de l’àlbum, però va ser reemplaçat per Diva.
Knowles va dir a MTV:  “la cançó parla de les converses d’homes que són molt segurs de si mateixos i que són molt presumits i arrogants al caminar i al parlar, el que ha fet atret cap a ells”.

Com podreu observar, la cançó es titula “Ego” (una paraula llatina que alhora prové del grec).
Ego = Aquest ésser interior que estimes tant, és una cosa així com l’autoestima i valorar-se a un mateix. Quan algú no es vol prou es diu que té l’ego molt baix, al contrari de la gent que és una mica “creguda”, que en aquest cas direm que té l’ego molt alt.

 La relació entre el títol i el significat de la cançó té a veure amb això mateix, ja que Beyoncé es creu la millor cantant, la millor ballarina, etc… Es creu una Diva.

Aquí us deixo la lletra:

Aw, baby, how you doing?
You know I’m gonna cut right to the chase, huh?
Some women were made
But me, myself?
I like to think that I was created
For a special purpose
You know?
What’s more special than YOU?
You feel me?

It’s on, baby let’s get lost
You don’t need to call in to work ‘cause you’re the boss
For real, want you to show me how you feel
I consider myself lucky, that’s a big deal
Why?
Well, you got the key to my heart
But you ain’t gonna need it
I’d rather you open up my body
And show me secrets you didn’t know was inside
No need for me to lie

It’s too big (big)
It’s too wide (wide)
It’s too strong (strong)
It won’t fit (fit)
It’s too much (much)
It’s too tough (tough)
He talk like this ‘cause he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego
I love his big ego
It’s too much
He walk like this ‘cause he can back it up

Usually I’m humble
Right now, I don’t choose
You can leave with me
Or, you could have the blues
Some call it arrogant
I call it confident
You decide when you find out what I’m working with
Damn, I know
I’m killing you with them legs
Better yet, them thighs
Matter of fact it’s my smile, or maybe my eyes?
Boy, you’re a sight to see
Kinda something like me

It’s too big (big)
It’s too wide (wide)
It’s too strong (strong)
It won’t fit (fit)
It’s too much (much)
It’s too tough (tough)
I talk like this ‘cause I can back it up
I got a big ego
Such a huge ego
But, he loves my big ego
It’s too much
I walk like this ‘cause I can back it up
I, I walk like this ‘cause I can back it up
I, I talk like this ‘cause I can back it up
I, I, I can back it up,
I can back it up
I Walk like this ‘cause I can back it up

It’s too big (big)
It’s too wide (wide)
It’s too strong (strong)
It won’t fit (fit)
It’s too much (much)
It’s too tough (tough)
He talk like this ‘cause he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego… such a huge ego
But, I love his big ego
It’s too much
He walk like this ‘cause he can back it up

Ego so big you must admit
I got every reason to feel like I’m that bitch
Ego so strong, you ain’t know?
I don’t need no beat, I can sing it with piano…
