Proud

[Intro: Struggle Jennings] Yeah When the moment comes you gotta own it Waylon and Willie, Struggle [Verse 1: Struggle Jennings] I'm Paul the apostle, this is my Romans I notice the road is condolence to my opponents Foam at the mouth, I starve for the moment Combin' through the engine seen all the broken components Never say die my slogan Hopin' it's not over, atonement from my wrong streets is cold time is frozen Poet of the broken, chosen by an omen Fathered from poverty but a shark in this ocean They was drinkin' the Kool Aid I concocted a potion Emotions from emotion discovered there's no devotion Home in the mornin' hunger pains, no bitchin' moanin' I've been waitin' for this moment now I'm gonna own it [Chorus: Jelly Roll] I just hope I made my mama proud I hope that my God is smilin' when he's lookin' down And I remember when there was no one around No one was to be found, and I was on the ground We all know when you're ballin' that everybody's by your side Though when you're fallin' so many people run and hide Are you really down to ride, when you know someone will die Are you still a friend of mine, when our life is on the line, on the line, when our life is on the line [Verse 2: Jelly Roll] Know the streets gonna slow you down, people in the streets are the go and wild You don't really understand me, if you ain't from a place no one smile Man it's so hard for me to take you, feel it in my bones and I can't shake it You might not understand my reasonin', if you ain't from a place where no one makes it (Makes it) And I swear I feel your pain, I know where you comin' from I went to war with the same demons you runnin' from I know when the money comes (That's when the problems grow) Even if it's a one and done (I hope you reap all you sow) [Bridge: Jelly Roll] Met a beetle on the moon, he told me about my future He said some stars are fallin', and he said some stars are shootin' Pay attention to the universe and you'll see it's so translucent With faith the size of a mustard seed find a mountain and you can move it I can do it [Chorus: Jelly Roll] I just hope I made my mama proud I hope that my God is smilin' when he's lookin' down And I remember when there was no one around No one was to be found, and I was on the ground We all know when you're ballin' that everybody's by your side Though when you're fallin' so many people run and hide Are you really down to ride, when you know someone will die Are you still a friend of mine, when our life is on the line, on the line, when our life is on the line [Verse 3: Struggle Jennings] Uh, I'm James the Apostle, first to be martyred My freedom was bartered, taken not borrowed The pain and the sorrow, so I pray for tomorrow I live for the moment, never feel what'll follow A liter a minute, I fought in the field Brought 'em out the valley, so we stood on the hill I stood on my heels, enemies on the ground Screamin' at the clouds, I hope that you're proud [Chorus: Jelly Roll] I just hope I made my mama proud I hope that my God is smilin' when he's lookin' down And I remember when there was no one around No one was to be found, and I was on the ground We all know when you're ballin' that everybody's by your side Though when you're fallin' so many people run and hide Are you really down to ride, when you know someone will die Are you still a friend of mine, when our life is on the line, on the line
