Pride Before The Fall Lyrics

Got too much to do in life to act as though it's over with

If this is what it's like pushing 30, then man, holy shit

So many of my peers having kids, that's how it's supposed to get

Grateful I ain't aging like milk, cause that would hold the kid

I got so much drive, before they see me, they know the whip

Same people I tried to please, now I realize I don't owe them shit

First job was in clothing, but I was always throwing fits

CD burner was on overtime, could always flow a mix

Wasn't always in the clubs, but I know when I got there, I knew DJs was hit or miss

But that was me and my many attempts to getting at chicks

Got one and never looked back, now I got the engine fixed

Metabolism ain't Godspeed, hitting the gym to get back on my shit

Remember when Gold's was open, they was all douches and dicks

But let me resurface, cause I don't wanna empty the clip

They say to hate you harbor, lowers quality on will to exist

But I think through time, I done discovered my newest conflict

And they say pride comes before the fall

But it be times where I wanna say that I'm better than most of y'all

But I don't know, feeling like bitterness won't get me nothing but dial tones

And they say pride comes before the fall

But it be times where I wanna say that I'm better than most of y'all

But I don't know, feeling like bitterness won't get me nothing but dialed tones

Shed more tears in 2021 than the last five years before it

Thought I'd find better ways to manage emotion and explore it

Somewhere along the way, I guess certain thoughts got hoarded

Been slowly getting them out, and that's more ships that boarded

That last album felt like I put on a mask and recorded

Masks been fashion statements, but this one wasn't too sporty

Usually it's a KN95, but this one was more of a clown mask I supported

Still was feeling myself, but a piece of me felt as though I was rocking a fit

With the price tags on, cause I couldn't afford it

Wasn't enough gas in the Charger, I had to Accord it

But it's like the older you get, you see which one is resourceful

Don't know why I pop shit sometimes, I feel a little remorseful

I'm thankful for where I am, and I'll say it with my torso

Cause I felt like I had more tools to show fools

That they ain't got the juice they claim they do

Same could be said about me too

But I believe in myself enough to take my power back

Serious as a heart attack, I hate saying respectfully

But it's gotta be a way of saying no offense instead of having to draw it back

Guess this is where my flaw is at

Cause I didn't have all this confidence

And all these other things that made me believe in myself

I guess therapy and prayer was what helped me grow all of the flowers back

To me, I know what I am

But to y'all, I'm stuck between showing y'all I'm hella steps ahead

And showing y'all that I'm walking back

Huh, it's crazy

I stay trying to get the last word for somebody

That used to get in trouble just for simply talking back

I'ma let that breathe

This conversation's only for everybody that didn't have time, that made time

From my own backyard to simply cross state lines

Talking about the road I travel as I continue to pave mine

Maintaining my A game as thoughts form a fucking beeline

It's whack, I gotta throw out RIPs in the meantime

If the Most High prepared a table for my enemies from the past

Then when it comes to progression, I hope they see mine

But even then again, I'm real cool with having me time

Even if it's tears in the camera and all smiles while I'm throwing peace signs

And by the time they drop, I'll be done washed away all the madness that kept me from being refined

But jokes aside, I'm making sure that I'm giving me mine

They say pride comes before the fall

But it be times where I wanna say I'm better than most of y'all

But I don't know, but what I do know

Is even if I keep it to my motherfucking self, I'ma stand tall
