Pride

[Verse 1]

I told, my nigga, don't tell, my nigga, for real, don't drop no dime

Even though they got you round right now, my nigga, don't drop no dime

Don't go out like these niggas, they ain't official these niggas is slime

Just look that shit in the face, my nigga, you straight my nigga, you fine

And I know it's easy to say when you ain't the one who facing the time

But you gotta eat what's on your plate, my nigga, you signed up for this life

Gotta do that shit for you, it ain't 'bout your freedom, it's 'bout your pride

But a nigga can't stop you dog you swallow your pride you ain't my kind

[Chorus]

That pride is the hardest thing to swallow, you can't help it

That pride shit a motherfucker, that pride shit be deadly

I know you back there stressin' 'cause your daughter 'bout to be seven

Even though the streets don't love nobody, we stay true to the ethics

That pride is the hardest thing to swallow, you can't help it

That pride shit a motherfucker, that pride shit be deadly

I know you back there stressin' 'cause your daughter 'bout to be seven

Even though the streets don't love nobody, we stay true to the ethics

[Verse 2]

I seen you shoot a nigga, so I know you can do it, nigga

I been in there doing it with you and I be out here doing it with you too

My nigga, take that dime, I don't want to see you get life

I don't want you to take no chances with no crackers going to trial

You already been down four, my nigga, all you gotta do is five

I'm keeping it G and like I don't wanna see you to the house

I'm keeping it G, I wanna see you out here with your child

I want to see you in your old school riding behind mine

Like how could you even breathe knowing that you done crossed the line

I'ma tell you what it is, could you let me know what's on yo' mind

You gotta do that shit for you, ain't 'bout your freedom, it's 'bout your pride

But a nigga can't stop you, dawg, you swallow your pride, you ain't my kind

[Chorus]

That pride is the hardest thing to swallow, you can't help it

That pride shit a motherfucker, that pride shit be deadly

I know you back there stressin' 'cause your daughter 'bout to be seven

Even though the streets don't love nobody, we stay true to the ethics

That pride is the hardest thing to swallow, you can't help it

That pride shit a motherfucker, that pride shit be deadly

I know you back there stressin' 'cause your daughter 'bout to be seven

Even though the streets don't love nobody, we stay true to the ethics, nigga
