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 |
