Pride
[Intro: STARSEED]
Pride causeth the fall of man
Run it
[Verse 1: STARSEED]
You was talking shit
You was tryna stop the blessings
Fixed my hair
Rolled my weed
Fed my habits
Stepped the brakes
Gave the chase
Dropped the fade
Lesson taught
Lesson learnt
Took them kids to school
I'm the best like Mike
In his prime
Dropped the pride
Lost the ego
Like a weasel
It don't mean shit
Eyes stay clear at night
It don't mean shit
I stay up all night
It don't mean shit
We all gonna die
Pride make a nigga fall
When he's in his prime
But pride elevate a nigga to his highest high
Conflicted out my damn mind
Confused and desolate
It's not alright
Tryna influence the gyal dem
Taneisha, Anita, Alyssa
Goddamn!
Should I let a nigga slide when he disrespectful?
Should I look weak and small in front of all these people
You's a king
You's a God
You tha cozy lord
Sometimes I wanna hide
The fucking stares are crushing
Sometimes, I'm way up high
The fucking steps are crushing
But pride's my only comfort
My only resort
My one companion
My only triumph
The true protector
Get with the program
Fuck is you saying
Fuck is you saying?
[Chorus: STARSEED]
Mama said look up high
Shoulders held up high
You'll be alright
Mama said look up high
Shoulders held up high
You'll be alright
Mama said look up high
Shoulders held up high
You'll be alright
Mama said look up high
Shoulders held up high
You'll be alright
[Verse 2: Arlo Maverick]
Woke with God’s blessings
Spoke with God’s reverence
The beauty of life found in lessons I’m addressing
5 11, buck Fif
So you know my frames fit
Tryna leave a legacy
So miss me with that lame ish
Life gave me lemons so I made brisk yuh
Trust me you could do the same ish
It’s a blessing when necessity humbles you
Convos with my comrades, that's when I smuggle truth
Exchange currency in the form of battle stories
Spiritual journeys well cloaked in allegories
We tryn’a celebrate a better fate
Where we elevate and take the time to demonstrate
The power of humility on how to exercise it
Cause ego and pride are side chicks to my side kick
I promised modesty monogamy
But honestly I like her other qualities
