Lyrics Proud of Me - Troy Ave

Proud of Me

I love the way you sway that shit, when I say that shit, you get crazy when the
DJ’s play my shit
I’m an independent rapper but I got them hits, until I make it mainstream then
I got them bricks
But baby we ain’t here to talk about drugs and truncheons
Itchin' from a dealer and a thug
I don’t want my fate being decided by no judge and I don’t want no fake niggas
saying bout how real I was
I ain’t here for that at all, I’m only here to ball and provide for my kids,
haters I ain’t stressin' yall
Cowards tried to kill me with a bullet they didn’t know I was blessed
Now I’m rollin' with armed securities and bulletproof vests
For the rest of my life I live in luxury
Gettin' money, praisin' God and staying sucka free
If you feel the same way then you fuck with me
Celebrating all my wins sippin' bubbly
Figured you’d be proud of me
Man I came from the mud and they label me a thug, and I’m still winnin'
(figured you’d be proud me)
Ain’t nobody wanna' help, so I did it by myself, you could do the same (figured
you be proud of me)
Everytime you see me ballin' know I represent us all that’s a fact though
(figured you be proud of me)
Fresh outta jail, from a dorm in a dirty date room
Now there’s a pool in my backyard and my game room
They was playin' laughin' at it, dyin' in their own shame
Fake niggas never want a real one in the game
Ain’t nobody wanna help so I did it by myself
Ain’t contribute but they want me to distribute my wealth
I love sayin' «no,» nine windows, eagles wouldn’t let you outta my shirt you
for sure
The difference is I do it for them, that’s why I’m truer than them
They got diamonds but my stones shine bluer than them
I run a business while they run around the hood and chill
Waitin' on another million while they wait to be killed
It’s the harsh reality, why you mad at me?
I ain’t makin' moves,
I’m importin' em, candidly, when I made the news and was smitten
They wish me good riddance, made it out, the rebel 9−1-1, he the victim of the
media, circumstance and the right decisions
The atheist views went against my religion
I stand for somethin' I don’t fall for nothin'
They tried to trick me off the streets, now I’m black stuntin'
Figured you’d be proud
Figured you’d be proud of me
Man I came from the mud and they label me a thug, and I’m still winnin'
(figured you’d be proud me)
Ain’t nobody wanna' help, so I did it by myself, you could do the same (figured
you be proud of me)
Everytime you see me ballin' know I represent us all that’s a fact though
(figured you be proud of me)
