Pride

[Hook]

Have you ever made a living
Cuz you're willing to die
Have you ever seen your father go to prison
Not cried
Have you ever been so disappointed
And felt exploited
You can’t avoid it
So self important

The burden of pride

Have you ever loved somebody
To the point that you lie
Have you ever been a victim
Of a passionate crime
Have you ever been so disappointed
And felt exploited
You can't avoid it
So self important

The burden of pride

[Verse 1]

Everybody says that I'm such a positive guy
Everybody says that I’m such a role model
Why?
My disguise I describe as the day after night
Social life anti social I've no surplus of time
Plus when i utilize these abilities I
Only see, only feel such futility
Try
As you may, as you might
S*** you're probably right
There's something wrong
I write a song
Tell you all bout my life
See the truth for the lie
S*** I do all the time
I cross line lost my mind
I'm so free I'm confined
And I don't complain at all
I just press play and rewind
And i know
I'm gettin old
Though all that means that’s its time
And I’ve grown
Up all this wall I came up like a vine
Its only when I feel the pain that I feel that I'm alive
And I’m tired
Dead inside I'm the ink that don't dry
And people wonder why it is that I wear black all the time

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

I wake up
So full of anger that there's blood in my eyes
Television tellin lies
Not surprised
And the prize
Is a chance to lift the weights
And displace all the hate
And the pressure to do it better
The thoughts I escape
My phone won’t go away
Everyday I get texts
They push but I'm not pressed
Plus they show me respect
I'm a fiend for the flesh
I get pictures of breasts
I'm blessed
And un-involved
I have opposite sex
Every woman that I'm with I see as "My Future Ex"
And I don't know what it is I want
Just the things I expect
I suggest
Then we go at it until inadequate
My n***** keep tellin me
"I should just give up on this b****
No food
My appetite is like my talks with my Pops
All I really want is free
That's the food for my thoughts
And I don't
And I won't
Ever surrender my spot
You can love it
You can hate it
But this s*** it don't stop

[Hook]
