Lyrics

Uh
 Pride is the Devil
 Think it got a hold on me
 Pride is the Devil
 It left so many, R.I.P.
 Pride is the Devil
 Think it got a hold on me
 Pride is the Devil, yeah, uh
 Terrified, paranoid
 I'll put you over everything to fill the void
 And when you're gone, will I have anything?
 Or will I be destroyed? Uh
 Terrified, paranoid
 I'll put you over everything to fill the void
 And when you're gone, will I have anything?
 Or will I be destroyed? Yeah
 Bright lights pass me in the city, it's emergency
 I'm thankful 'cause I made it past my 30s, no one murdered me
 Still remember vividly the nigga that pulled a gun on me
 I'm petrified, but movin' like I got no sense of urgency
 Pride make a nigga act way harder than he really be
 Pride hide the shame when city cut off all utilities
 Pride hide the pain of growing up inhaling poverty
 Pride make a nigga feel a way that you unfollow me
 Make a nigga flash a thousand like he hit the lottery
 Make a baby mama make shit harder than it gotta be
 Make you have to take the bitch to court to see your prodigy
 Make you have to use your last resort and pull a robbery
 Pride be the reason for the family dichotomy
 Got uncles and some aunties that's too proud to give apologies
 Slowly realizing what the root of all my problems be
 It got me feeling different when somebody say they proud of me
 Pride is the Devil, uh
 I think it got a hold on me
 Pride is the Devil, uh
 And it left so many, R.I.P.
 Pride is the Devil
 I think it got a hold on me
 Pride is the Devil, uh, yeah
 Terrified, paranoid
 I'll put you over everything to fill the void
 And when you're gone, will I have anything?
 Or will I be destroyed? Uh
 Terrified, paranoid
 I'll put you over everything to fill the void
 And when you're gone, will I have anything?
 Or will I be destroyed? Yeah
 Too much money to count, what's the amount? Check never bounce
 I gotta pay a nigga to add it up
 Then pay somebody to make sure whatever amount he say, he can back it up
 Got racks on racks, I'm rackin' up, stackin' up
 You're reachin', I'm actin' up
 Break it down, weigh it up, now bag it up
 Makin' five a month, that's regular
 Nigga playin' with us, that's a negative
 Go back to the start, that's never
 I'm a boss, my closet leather
 Ain't no off-days on my schedule
 Long as I live, we live forever
 Told my twin, "This shit get better"
 These niggas done slipped, let me get ahead of 'em
 Got my feet up, I paid 70 bands to have sex on the jet
 I don't need 'em, that shit in the past, I'm feelin' like what's next
 Got my speed up, foot all on the gas, this not a C8 'Vette
 I can beat 'em, I believe in me, just tell me what's the bet
 All my pride gone, had to lose it all then I got rich
 I own five homes, glad some of this shit startin' to make sense
 I'm stayin' hella focused and I can't forget the bigger picture
 I can't even hold you, I didn't have shit, I won't forget it
 Will I be destroyed?
 Come to me with everything, it's startin' to get annoyin'
 I'm addicted to promethazine, it's crazy, yeah, I know it
 All this money comin' in, it drive me crazy not to show it
 I'll be crazy if I blow it
 Pride is the Devil, uh
 I think it got a hold on me
 Pride is the Devil, uh
 And it left so many, R.I.P.
 Pride is the Devil
 I think it got a hold on me
 Pride is the Devil, uh
