Pride Lyrics

Pride

I don't got everything figured out

That's for sure

I can make it seem like I do

But keeping it real, it's all for show

I got lots of people telling me imma make it

I don't know

Think I like the odds stacked against me

But that's my pride talking again, oh no

When I'm confident, no stopping it, can't make amends

With my way, I will surely win

My accomplishments, the best candidate

There's no other way around it

I'm on top of it

I'm like Everest, the way I chill at the top

Then I snap out of it

Man, get these thoughts up out my head

I battle with myself

This thing called pride taking over once again

Do I let it tear me apart from within or humble myself to be a man?

God I'm done with it

And I'm sick of it

And I'm tired of arrogance

I seek the Lord instead

God give me this daily bread

Cause without you I'm simply a mess

Pride tippy toes into my life in silence

Tells me everybody wishes they were just like I am

Then I look around

And see there's nothing that's behind him

Cause pride leads to nothing

Except the emptiness inside it

The Lord is my shepherd

Know that He will be my guidance

Staying humble's hard

But know that grace ain't far behind it

Just trust in the one who knows your heart and your desire

God gives me fruit and it ain't ever gonna expire

Now let me talk about what's on my mind

I was stuck in a loop for a long time

Think back to the days when I was lost

All my life just tried to be a nice guy

My life was comparison, embarrassing

To think about the pride felt deep inside

I was trying to build my character

But undoubtedly, lost myself, trying to prove that I

Could make it out the mud on my own

Ignore the Lord's provisions

Instead I'll sit up high on my throne

Didn't think I needed God until I felt so alone

Then He changed my life

Now I'm feeling like I'm at home

So hey pride, it's me

Go ahead and come out from your hiding

Show yourself to me and all the ways that you've been lying

And now that you're out in the open

You know we're fighting

Cause God's the one in charge and in Him I am abiding

Pride tippy toes into my life in silence

Tells me everybody wishes they were just like I am

Then I look around

And see there's nothing that's behind him

Cause pride leads to nothing

Except the emptiness inside it

The Lord is my shepherd

Know that He will be my guidance

Staying humble's hard

But know that grace ain't far behind it

Just trust in the one who knows your heart and your desire

God gives me fruit and it ain't ever gonna expire

It ain't ever gonna expire

God gives me fruit, it ain't ever gonna expire

Stay humble through the fire
