Boyz II Men

Hey man...you know sometimes you've got to
Listen to your self or not listen to yourself
That's how it is
As you get a little older you start realizing things
Realize it's your ego
It's your ego that's enemy...you know
That's the only thing that can stop you...is your ego
Hey...it's crazy man, but we got you...so listen

My ego had me doing things that I thought I'd never do
Like being with another shorty when I was with you
Unnecessary shopping sprees for things I didn't need
Maybe it was a little necessary
But looking back it was greed
Big chains, big cars, big chips
More things, more girls, long trips
Maybe if I would've thought of it
I would have had a chance to enjoy it

[Chorus]
But now I know it was just my ego
My ego was my enemy

I thought it was a friend to me
But it was a curse to me
Cause it brought out the worst in me
My ego was my enemy

I was flowin like a man when I was a boy livin every man's dream
Spending time at the strip club...to much cream
Nobody couldn't tell me nothin cause I was feeling myself
Same thing almost cost me my whole life, and all of my wealth
Chicks came and went...I stayed
G'd up cause I was paid
Damn all those games I played
Hey, what more can I say

[Chorus]
If I could turn back the hands of time
I wouldn't change a thing
Cause it made me the man I am today

[Chorus]

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
