Pride by Matt Brevner Lyrics
PRIDE LYRICS
Intro:
Let me warn you 'bout the pride, lets talk about the ego
No one works for nothin', and silence don't come cheap so
It's like honesty ain't noble, exactly why they lie
I stand behind these words, they're the apple of my eye
And as they fall into the dirt, look up to the sky
Know that I'll be good, yeah you'll be alright
Gotta live your own way, do your own thing
Verse 1:
I've never been one to fit in, a bit of a social outcast
A big dreaming mixed kid, whose family was never about flash, just hard work
'Cuz nothing comes easy, my hustle is clockwork
My grind is beastly
I be smoking' up at that late night, scheming while y'all dreaming
This cotton candy purp tastes right, and I'm fucked up, I can feel it
Maybe its this head high that explains why I'm conceded
But man, its hard to just get by off your passion when you feed
I mean you truly bleed it, it's something you believe in
Shit, this music's my reason for breathing, set the bar high and exceed it
But that wasn't hard, critics set the bar low
But now they're rolling by the carloads to our shows
I don't blame 'em man, its hard to have a dream
And actually pursue it dawg, its harder than it seems
And they gone call you foolish, 'cuz they just don't believe
But if you want it, you can do it, homie look at me
Chorus:
Let me warn you 'bout the pride, lets talk about the ego
No one works for nothin', and silence don't come cheap so
It's like honesty ain't noble, exactly why they lie
I stand behind these words, they're the apple of my eye
And as they fall into the dirt, look up to the sky
Know that I'll be good, yeah you'll be alright
Gotta live your own way, do your own thing
Cuz people come and go, don't think that you won't change
Everyday is closer to you knowing your place
Gotta live your own way, yeah
Verse 2:
I've never been one to chase trends, I live by my own tastes
And I don't keep no fake friends, who smile and lie to your face
I'm just trying to break bread without flapping off a coke plate
Live my life with integrity, never sell out, no way!
Trailblazing my own path, every day's a battle
When you're trying to walk alone on the road less travelled
Homie I'm my own man, I don't answer to these fuck boys
Who be claiming that they go ham, but their music don't make much noise, it's
Smoke and mirrors, smoke, smoke and mirrors
So I'm rocking my Versace's so that I can see you clearer
You're just some carbon copies of the Rocky's and the Jiggas
And soon the be the Brevner's once I'm pushing seven figures
My life is like a blank cheque, I'm sitting on a fortune, haven't taken it to the bank
Yet
'cuz it's important that I'm waiting 'til my stock's high
For now, I'm really enjoying these non believers looking cock eyed
"Im gonna do it man"
Chorus X2
