Lyrics
Pride is the devil I think it got a hold on me Pride is the devil It left so many R.I.P Pride is the devil I think it got a hold on me Pride is the devil 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? 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? And this one goes out to the ones who never made it back The ones who caught a glance of hell and chose a ticket there To those lying thru their teeth about a bloody nose Whole time ducking family, secret everybody knows Cell phone calls at 4 am, hit the whole rolodex with a couple of spins What about pride? That’s a soul f**king screamin And not for nada, topped with masculinity, defeat is Frankly not an option, know it toxic Hitting all these bars, the lines get blurred, but hustling Offers at least a lil allure Free drugs cause they always on hand, tells himself that it Puts some change up in his pocket again Maybe one day stack a couple of racks and move out Out his parents’ crib, he’s caged by his doubt Too proud rather be buried than ask for some help Pride is the devil I think it got a hold on me Pride is the devil It left so many R.I.P Pride is the devil I think it got a hold on me Pride is the devil 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? 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? Too many dead to count, whats the amount? Yeah, supposed to be? Da darker da day I had left behind, I gotta couple friends ya see They bag it up, and often times they snort it Praying it ain't cut, I only they don’t OD.. Pride, pride, be, be the mother f**king devil Hangin in these bars late night, with our demons revel We gone fill up the ashtray, twist up the backwoods But don’t you challenge, you can suck a d**k backwards Fact is the passwords, cheat codes, unlocked All I gotta do is to clean my act up But my mama had her problems and so did my pops And my four of five grandparents all drank a lot They was alcoholics, share all this knowledge Not to dwell upon my trauma, but to tell you how I thought of it In my rationale was “can’t beat it, this is deep seated In my DNA, there’s no defeating” Ahem, but how wrong I was, it took me 17 years to say enough is enough Friends dropped like flies, with pride eaten, consumed Untruths painted their views, perceive your life how you choose Pride is the devil I think it got a hold on me Pride is the devil It left so many R.I.P Pride is the devil I think it got a hold on me Pride is the devil Pride is the devil
