Stevie Ross - Pride lyrics

PRIDE LYRICS Intro: Let me warn you 'bout the pride, lets talk about the ego No one works for nothin', and silence don't come cheap so It's like honesty ain't noble, exactly why they lie I stand behind these words, they're the apple of my eye And as they fall into the dirt, look up to the sky Know that I'll be good, yeah you'll be alright Gotta live your own way, do your own thing Verse 1: I've never been one to fit in, a bit of a social outcast A big dreaming mixed kid, whose family was never about flash, just hard work 'Cuz nothing comes easy, my hustle is clockwork My grind is beastly I be smoking' up at that late night, scheming while y'all dreaming This cotton candy purp tastes right, and I'm f**ed up, I can feel it Maybe its this head high that explains why I'm conceded But man, its hard to just get by off your pa**ion when you feed I mean you truly bleed it, it's something you believe in sh**, this music's my reason for breathing, set the bar high and exceed it But that wasn't hard, critics set the bar low But now they're rolling by the carloads to our shows I don't blame 'em man, its hard to have a dream And actually pursue it dawg, its harder than it seems And they gone call you foolish, 'cuz they just don't believe But if you want it, you can do it, homie look at me Chorus: Let me warn you 'bout the pride, lets talk about the ego No one works for nothin', and silence don't come cheap so It's like honesty ain't noble, exactly why they lie I stand behind these words, they're the apple of my eye And as they fall into the dirt, look up to the sky Know that I'll be good, yeah you'll be alright Gotta live your own way, do your own thing Cuz people come and go, don't think that you won't change Everyday is closer to you knowing your place Gotta live your own way, yeah Verse 2: I've never been one to chase trends, I live by my own tastes And I don't keep no fake friends, who smile and lie to your face I'm just trying to break bread without flapping off a coke plate Live my life with integrity, never sell out, no way! Trailblazing my own path, every day's a battle When you're trying to walk alone on the road less travelled Homie I'm my own man, I don't answer to these f** boys Who be claiming that they go ham, but their music don't make much noise, it's Smoke and mirrors, smoke, smoke and mirrors So I'm rocking my Versace's so that I can see you clearer You're just some carbon copies of the Rocky's and the Jiggas And soon the be the Brevner's once I'm pushing seven figures My life is like a blank cheque, I'm sitting on a fortune, haven't taken it to the bank Yet 'cuz it's important that I'm waiting 'til my stock's high For now, I'm really enjoying these non believers looking co*k eyed "Im gonna do it man" Chorus X2
