pride. Lyrics

So, here we go

Darling, do you want to know what I think

Oh, I'm just losing my mind, that's all

Oh, that's music to my ears

I'm too old to change

You know, I've never realized before that you were so versatile

Well, let's see if we got the facts straight

You know what? I like that idea. Yeah

Now, come now, the real reason, the truth

Oh, no doubt he does it to perfection

Oh, no

You don't seem to be yourself this morning, sir

I'm not

My daddy said I had too much talent to keep it all inside

Mama told me just be myself and never apologize

I wish I could live by what they said

Instead, I'm swallowed by

Fear of ever changing my mind and having to swallow my

Pride and arrogance to admit to myself I need to change

Take a sec, reflect, course correct, pick a different lane

How can I expect a new result when I do the same thing

Can't grow inside a drought that's plain insane

Yeah

Oh yeah

Whoa

I said I can't grow in a damn drought that's insane

And I already know I'm a liar

Ya tell me more than once, you're only preaching to the choir

Lost my girl, lost my mind, lost my fire

I lost my passion, my ambition, my desire

Tryna uphold my reputation, now it ain't worth shit

Cover up all the worst shit with some worse shit

Screaming, can you hear me, but I know you ain't heard shit

Praying for forgiveness that I know I don't deserve

No, I don't deserve shit, way too far from perfect

I'ma cry now and laugh later on some Durk shit

Working on myself late at night like it's third shift

Feelings on the paper, I'm an emotional wordsmith

Yeah, the beat is kinda simple, it got better when the verse hit

Wonder if this song will be the one to be my first hit

That would be ironic, cause this feeling is the worst shit

It's a two-sided story on some blessing and a curse shit

Pride gon' be the hardest pill to swallow

She gon' be the hardest act to follow

I wake up, I know I feel hollow

Too far gone, I'll try again tomorrow

Bit too much, I spent more than I borrowed

Cut my losses, get off the high road

I fall asleep, I'm still feeling hollow

It's too late, there's no more tomorrow

My daddy said I had too much talent to keep it all inside

Tryna uphold my reputation, now it ain't worth shit

Mama told me to be myself and never apologize

Cover up all the worst shit with some worse shit

I wish I could live by what they said, instead I'm swallowed by

No, I don't deserve shit, way too far from perfect

Fear of ever changing my mind and having to swallow my

It's a two-sided story on some blessing and a curse shit

I can't get you out of my mind

I can't get you out of my mind

I think about you all the time

I think about you all the time
