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
