Biography

American singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born Tyrone William Griffin Jr. on April 13, 1982 and known professionally as Ty Dolla Sign (stylized as Ty Dolla $ign or Ty$). In the early 1990s, he moved from his native Los Angeles to New York City, living in Brooklyn and developed a friendship with 50 Cent. He then fell in with a manager, Venus Brown, who signed him as part of a duo dubbed Ty & Kory. Eventually he gained major recognition in 2010 for his feature on YG's "Toot It and Boot It", which he had written and produced for Def Jam Recordings. In the summer of 2013, he signed a record deal with Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Records. In November 2015, he released his debut studio album, Free TC, which peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard 200. Ty Dolla Sign is perhaps best known for his singles "Paranoid", "Or Nah", and "Blasé", as well as his writing contributions to "Loyal", "Post to Be", and "FourFiveSeconds", among others. Aside from his solo music career, Ty Dolla Sign is also a member of production team D.R.U.G.S., alongside Chordz 3D, Buddah Shampoo, Nate 3D, James Koo, Fuego, and DJ Dahi.

LYRICS

You used to know how to love me right
You used to know how to love me right
Ooh, yeah
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

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

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

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)

Hold on, this train going by
Free to do what you want to do
You've got to live your life

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

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)

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
