Pride Songtext
von Soul II Soul

One, two, SIS come at you
With the rude lyrics and the pride to fit
I ain′t the counterfeit chic, with the rhythm to rock you
With my girl Charlotte now can you handle it?
Ooh, hear it, damage, feel it
Positive energies embrace the cue
One, two, let the girl through

This game of life ain't easy, Lord knows sometimes it′s rough
'Cause everyday we struggle and never get enough
It's hard to hold it down, temptation in your face
Crooks in designer suits make crime seem like the only way
I stop, and I think, am I wastin′ my time?
Tryin′ to hold this thing together
I could be so many things, but whatever happens next
I'll keep myself respect and my pride

(Pride)
Saves you from a fall
Only one way to love yourself
Standing strong and tall


(Pride)
You deserve it all
Only one way to love yourself

I could have bowed my head
I could have given in
I could have bought a needle
And pushed it to my skin
Thinkin′ of all the pressures
I could have lost control
I could have sold my body
My mind, my soul

I stop and I think of generations of pain
Did they all die in vain?
I could be so many things, but whatever happens next
I'll keep myself respect and my pride

(Pride)
Saves you from a fall
Only one way to love yourself
Standing strong and tall

(Pride)
You deserve it all
Only one way to love yourself


Ah, mama mia, I feel to shed a tear
When I think of all the hard done time that I done to get
I with the power of nature to bear to the world
A new life to my man, his firstborn heir
I′m more than hell is this life, my last pseudonym is
Miss, try a thing that's the only way that I′ma win
That as my motto mixed with my mighty pride
I move soul II soul, hand by hand, side by side
With my sistren extended kin sing

Keep on moving and don't stop
Do you get the gist of the linguistic
That I kick
I'm the chic with the hips and the lips to make you coo, coo
And go goo, goo for my swagger original rude girl of rap
I don′t need no sugar dada, all I need is my pride and self-respect
And my microphone, I′m cash in the dollars and catch wreck
I got my pride

I stop and I think of generations of pain
Did they all die in vain?
And I could be so many things, but whatever happens next
I'll keep myself respect and my pride

Pride (pride)
Saves you from a fall
Only one way to love yourself
Standing strong and tall

Pride
You deserve it all
Only one way to love yourself

Pride (pride)
Saves you from a fall
Standing strong and tall

Pride
You deserve it all

Pride (whatever you do, remember that you gotta have your pride)
Saves you from a fall
Standing strong and tall

Pride
You deserve it all

Pride, pride, pride, pride (pride)
Saves you from a fall
