Pride is the DevilThink it got a hold on mePride is the DevilIt left so many R. I. PPride is the DevilThink it got a hold on mePride is the Devil, yeah, uhTerrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill the voidAnd when you're gonewill I have anything or will I be destroyed? UhTerrified, paranoidI'll put you over everything to fill the voidAnd when you're gonewill I have anything or will I be destroyed? YeahBright lights pass me in the city, it's emergencyI'm thankful 'cause I made it past my thirtiesno one murdered meStill remember vividly the nigga that pulled a gun on meI'm petrified, but moving like I got no sense of urgencyPride make a nigga act way harder than he really bePride hide the shame when city cut off all utilitiesPride hide the pain of growing up inhaling povertyPride make a nigga feel the way that you would follow meMake a nigga flash a thousand like he hit the lotteryMake a baby mama make shit harder than it gotta beMake you have to take the bitch to court to see your prodigyMake you have to use your last resort and pull a robberyPride be the reason for the family dichotomyGot uncles and some auntiesthat's too proud to give apologiesSlowly realizing what the root of all my problems beIt got me feeling differentwhen somebody say they proud of me[J. Cole]Pride is the Devil, uhI think it got a hold on mePride is the Devil, uhIt left so many R. I. PPride is the DevilI think it got a hold on mePride is the Devil, uh, yeahTerrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill the voidAnd when you're gone, will I have anythingor will I be destroyed? UhTerrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill the voidAnd when you're gonewill I have anything or will I be destroyed?
