 The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com

The boys back to rap fast and contract
No cap, I backtrack and contrast
Out of luck, you crossed paths with black cats
Scratch that. I'll think back and redact
Humility took over my mind
Balancing depression with blessings, I think the music my reverend
Even if you coming in second, you got the same worth as first place and seventh
I seen power hungry people tryna prove it
Working retail, the details are stupid
Manager is a nuisance, feeling like she is suited
To tell me that I'm less cause I wanna be in the music
Had to shift my focus
From the money to showbiz
And it's different but it isn't all the things that I've noticed
Would the passion go away if all your numbers were frozen?
Sad people, on a path led by they ego
The remedy's lethal, getting high just like an eagle
Cause your stuck in the moment, tryna hold it, I think you know it
You ain't better then the kid that's tryna show it
Mistreated, when the looks become deceiving
Your seeking another reason to hate cause your achieving
And your career's peaking, holding on to the feeling
Lonely at the top cause you fight the kids dreaming
If you read between the lines
Then you'd see your conquered by
The sin that feeds the mind (pride)
The world is full of lies
The truth is hard to find
Through the lens of pride
Just tell me once if it's worth the fight
Do you really think that you'll survive?
See your life through shaded eyes
Pride's the greatest sacrifice
Yeah, ay
Whatchu know bout them cold nights?
Step up out stores, hitting puddles in my old Nikes
Another cruel summer, that's the shit we don't like
Walk up in the room, smell the weed with the Old Spice
So don't ever try to play me, I ain't scared to fight
But recently I've just been tryna find that peace and love
And get my karma up, that's kinda like the secret drug
So if you really ain't about this shit you can't compete with us
Yeah, I been thinking what pride means
My ego is enormous, I feel it inside me
That's motivation right? They say that confidence is key
But there's a difference between confidence and cockiness and greed
If pain could talk it would speak in the language of grief
A lost soul confused on being what successful means
Generations of money it falls from the family tree
With diamond encrusted roots and branches with golden leaves
Kendrick said that pride will be the death of you and me
Cole was saying pride became an evil deity
My brother said that pride will show a persons energy
I think its the cause of toxic masculinity
Passes through generations, the feeling's elevated
But often never shared and the boys the get to faking
The mask will hide they faces, emotions sedated
Tryna stay true to the image that we've created
