Ego Trip By Nikki Giovanni

I was born in the Congo

I walked to the fertile crescent and built the Sphinx

I designed a pyramid so tough that a star

That only glows every one hundred years

Falls into the center giving divine perfect light

I am bad

I sat on the throne drinking nectar with Allah

I got hot and sent an ice age to Europe to cool my thirst

My oldest daughter is Nefertiti

The tears from my birth pains created the Nile

I am a beautiful woman

I gazed on the forest and burned out the Sahara desert

With a packet of goat's meat and a change of clothes

I crossed it in two hours

I am a gazelle, so swift, so swift, you can't catch me

For a birthday present when he was three

I gave my son, Hannibal, an elephant

He gave me Rome for Mother's Day

My strength flows ever on

My son, Noah built Newark and I stood proudly at the helm

As we sailed on a soft summer day

I turned myself into myself and was Jesus

Men intone my loving name, all praises, all praises

I am the one who would save

I sowed diamonds in my back yard, my bowels deliver uranium

The filings from my fingernails are semi-precious jewels

On a trip North, I caught a cold

And blew my nose giving oil to the Arab world

I am so hip, even my errors are correct

I sailed West to reach East

And had to round off the earth as I went

The hair from my head thinned

And gold was laid across three continents

I am so perfect, so divine, so ethereal, so surreal

I cannot be comprehended except by my permission

I mean, I can fly like a bird in the sky
