Pride Songtext
von Kevin Gates

I ain′t lie, know what's happenin′ with me bae?
I'm a fucked up nigga, I ain't gonna lie, but
I know that, the first day I ever seen you, the first day I been around you
I know we was set up, I know this
Aye, you know how you feel, like fuck how it look
Fuck thinkin′ about all that, I know how I feel
You know what I′m sayin'? And my heart don′t lie to me
That's why I follow that motherfucker like that, super real, for real

When you′re alone at night and need somebody by your side
No matter wrong or right, sayin' it′s gonna be alright
No one to hold you tight, no one to look you in your eyes

As if it ain't okay to cry, you try to be the tough guy
Think about you all the time, start to feel it backfire
No one love you like I hope our love ain't expire
Tryna figure out why he dyin′ on the inside
One day I′ll get over my pride


I knew I loved you when I met you, some say this don't exist (aha)
Emotions captured had to have you don′t care who you was with (aha)
And your apartment office Seigen had a brief disagreement
You move back to Houston, we went like three years without speakin'

Now, I got back on drugs bad while I was still chasin′ cheddar
My heart was broke, soft and stressin' battlin′ with my depression
On top of that my team was shittin' on me harder than ever (no lie)
Not a worry in the world whenever we was together (here you go)

I flew you out to Miami, we laid up in the suites (up in the suites)
Bathtub full of fruits, while I was rubbin' your feet (rubbin′ your feet)
We went to Bloomingdales, I bought us matchin′ grey Theory sweats (grey Theory sweats)
Said, "I ain't want you to leave before you boarded the jet" (boarded the jet)

When you′re alone at night and need somebody by your side
No matter wrong or right, sayin' it′s gonna be alright
No one to hold you tight, no one to look you in your eyes

As if it ain't okay to cry, you try to be the tough guy
He think about you all the time, start to feel it backfire
No one gon′ love you like I hope our love ain't expire
You tryna figure out why he dyin' on the inside
One day I′ll get over my pride


Shoutout to Nard, that′s my personal trainer
He cool with you because of you, I now treat him like a stranger
Big booty Shelby, I know things ain't work with me and your sister
Best of what life has to offer, love, you still my little sister

Pull up in Vets, hear the engines, eight-speed TipTronic transmission
Four-door Porsche reminicisin′, wishin' you was here with me
I used to tease you ′bout your feet, we would laugh and we'd giggle
And havin′ breakfast on the beach, you don't know how much that meant to me

Holding hands and entering to the mall, public affection
When you and me don't need no bodyguard, I′m your protector
FaceTime, and I can′t wait until you call me, your special
You had that problem, now that problem solved, he won't disrespect you
Uh, uh, not helpin′

When you're alone at night and need somebody by your side
No matter wrong or right, sayin′ it's gonna be alright
No one to hold you tight, no one to look you in your eyes

As if it ain′t okay to cry, you try to be the tough guy
He think about you all the time, start to feel it backfire
No one gon' love you like I hope our love ain't expire
You tryna figure out why he dyin′ on the inside
One day I′ll get over my pride

Not, not-not havin' love, not halpin′
You know I haven't loved, not helpin′
No wonder I respect you, love
I'ma kill someone if someone disrespect you, love
Ah, I see you lookin′ at my girl
Yeah, but she a fine girl
Yeah, I love the way you whine, girl
Oh, she from an Island, she be-, uh
Ey, ain't no lookin' at my girl
Think about they′re tellin′ me
