| Pride is the Devil |
| Think it got a hold on me |
| Pride is the Devil |
| It left so many R.I.P. |
| Pride is the Devil |
| Think it got a hold on me |
| Pride is the Devil, yeah, uh |
| Terrified, paranoid, I’ll put you over everything to fill the void |
| And when you’re gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed? |
| Uh |
| Terrified, paranoid, I’ll put you over everything to fill the void |
| And when you’re gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed? |
| Yeah |
| Bright lights pass me in the city, it’s emergency |
| I’m thankful 'cause I made it past my thirties, no one murdered me |
| Still remember vividly the nigga that pulled a gun on me |
| I’m petrified, but moving like I got no sense of urgency |
| Pride make a nigga act way harder than he really be |
| Pride hide the shame when city cut off all utilities |
| Pride hide the pain of growing up inhaling poverty |
| Pride make a nigga feel the way that you would follow me |
| Make a nigga flash a thousand like he hit the lottery |
| Make a baby mama make shit harder than it gotta be |
| Make you have to take the bitch to court to see your prodigy |
| Make you have to use your last resort and pull a robbery |
| Pride be the reason for the family dichotomy |
| Got uncles and some aunties that’s too proud to give apologies |
| Slowly realizing what the root of all my problems be |
| It got me feeling different when somebody say they proud of me |
| Pride is the Devil, uh |
| I think it got a hold on me |
| Pride is the Devil, uh |
| It left so many R.I.P. |
| Pride is the Devil |
| I think it got a hold on me |
| Pride is the Devil, uh, yeah |
| Terrified, paranoid, I’ll put you over everything to fill the void |
| And when you’re gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed? |
| Uh |
| Terrified, paranoid, I’ll put you over everything to fill the void |
| And when you’re gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed? |
| Yeah |
| Too much money to count, what’s the amount? |
| Check never bounce |
| I gotta pay a nigga to add it up |
| Then pay somebody to make sure whatever amount he say he can back it up |
| Got racks on racks, I’m rackin' up, stackin' up |
| You’re reachin', I’m actin' up |
| Break it down, weigh it up, now bag it up |
| Making five a month, that’s regular |
| Nigga playing with us, that’s a negative |
| Go back to start, that’s never |
| I’m a boss, my closet leather |
| Ain’t no off-days on my schedule |
| Long as I live, we live forever |
| Told my twin this shit get better |
| These niggas done slipped, let me ahead 'em |
| Got my feet up, I paid silly bands to have sex on the jet |
| I don’t need 'em, that shit in the past, I’m feelin' like what’s next |
| Got my speed up, foot all on the gas, this not a C8 'Vette |
| I can beat 'em, I believe in me, just tell me what’s the bet |
| All my pride gone, had to lose it all then I got rich |
| I own five homes, glad some of this shit starting to make sense |
| I’m staying hella focused and I can’t forget the bigger picture |
| I can’t even hold you, I didn’t have shit, I won’t forget it |
| Will I be destroyed? |
| Come to me with everything, it’s starting to get annoying |
| I’m addicted to promethazine, it’s crazy, yeah, I know it |
| All this money coming in, it drive me crazy not to show it |
| I’ll be crazy if I blow it |
| Pride is the Devil, uh |
| I think it got a hold on me |
| Pride is the Devil, uh |
| And it left so many R.I.P. |
| Pride is the Devil |
| I think it got a hold on me |
| Pride is the Devil, uh |
