RMG - I Guess You Was Right lyrics

[Verse 1: Chad Jones] I guess you was right [4x] I said I had something in my eye I noticed look in my rear view I had blind spots my people gave a clear view Through my impurities I seen I need community Amba**ador for Christ I get diplomat immunity Some say I'm cool, fresh for a while now Born in '84 a year after Wild Style To be honest I was cool with doin' me But 20 years from '84 I'm through with choosin' me And in the meantime my past gave me goosebumps 'cause my past was full of bags like a school bus I always like the mirror, my reflection gave me chills Strep throat flow couldn't say I wasn't ill I always liked me, always chose my prerogative Do what I wanna do, other wise it's derogative I thought I was royalty you can say elegant Too busy smashin' the ants to ever see the elephants Like the Poconos surrounded by water Drownin' in my sin lead my heart to the slaughter I know I messed up so I stand before mine I'm slowly on this long journey, land before time [Pre-Chorus: Chad Jones] God you said pride was sin and sin would k** me, I guess you was right God you said you loved me better than I could love myself I wanna act like I'm too hard like I don't have emotions or admit I'm wrong And if this song is crying then I hope the tears keep flowin' [Chorus: Derek Minor] How I feel is wrong I was bound to fall I should have heard you call Now, I'mma lose it all See my pride'll be the end of me I'm my own worst enemy I ain't know what I was in for I really should have been gone Dang [Bridge: ZG] Selfish thinking that I could do it alone Now I'm alone, you were right, I was wrong It's hard to admit that I'm filled with pride I'm alive, I guess you were right [Verse 2: Derek Minor] Now people told me if I wanna get respect Then I better go ahead and turn my swag on now My momma said that my nose so high If the Lord made it rain then I would drown OK, I really hate to admit but she was right Wasn't nothing you could do or could tell me I wasn't tight It's like Joe Jackson, when I write Better yet you can say I whoop mikes Drowning in my Kool-Aid, can't drink it all Is this the price that you pay to ball I think the devil is clown, try to trick us all 'Cause first pride come, then the fall [Pre-Chorus: Chad Jones] God you said pride was sin and sin would k** me, I guess you was right God you said you loved me better than I could love myself I wanna act like I'm too hard like I don't have emotions or admit I'm wrong And if this song is crying then I hope the tears keep flowin' [Verse 3: Canon] Look in the past, been living to fast Brothas giving me dap while everyone hearing me rap I was rapping imagine a brotha given a chance To give it all up on the stage for the one who was smashed Saw a lady sitting up in the back Give Aaron the little smile from the eye contact There was eye contact Then I got her number then everything fumble so I had to start from scratch But that's just another story how I grew up Better remember the brotha that everybody would call a screw up I never knew the enemy wanted to make me foolish And doing the dum dum, the stupidest things too much And too much and they would gather around Simmering down, settling down and sitting me down And I'm looking around like “what a brotha do now?” Finna get another rebuke from the brothas around me [Pre-Chorus: Chad Jones] God you said pride was sin and sin would k** me, I guess you was right God you said you loved me better than I could love myself I wanna act like I'm too hard like I don't have emotions or admit I'm wrong And if this song is crying then I hope the tears keep flowin' [Chorus: Derek Minor] How I feel is wrong I was bound to fall I should have heard you call Now, I'mma lose it all See my pride'll be the end of me I'm my own worst enemy I ain't know what I was in for I really should have been gone Dang [Bridge: ZG] Selfish thinking that I could do it alone Now I'm alone, you were right, I was wrong
