Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That Pride Gotta Hold On You
Ay
You On My Mind
I Got Too Much To Do
I'm Lying I'm With The Two Smoking Dudes
Sunrise Until Nights Time I Do
And On My Mind Its Only You You You
I've Tried Girl, I've Tried Too
Why Lie Girl, Why Lie Too
I'm Fighting You Silent
I'm Trying You Crying
Hold On You
That Pride Gotta Hold On You
Funny How We Play For The Same Team
But We Not One In A Same Thing
Fake Dreams, Real Lies
Real Things, Fake Smile
Trust Me When I Say That I've Tried
But You Were Right There?? Those Lies
I'm Fighting You Silent.
I'm Trying You Whining
But That Pride Gonna Hold On You
That Pride Gonna Hold On You
The lyrics to A-Reece feat. Rowlene's song "Pride" tackles the theme of pride that holds on one's emotions and relationships. The song starts with A-Reece acknowledging the hold that pride has on his lover. Even though he is busy and has a lot to do, he cannot stop thinking about her. He confesses that he has tried, but why lie? He is silently fighting her, while she cries for him silently, but pride still has a hold on her.
Rowlene enters the song, singing about how they are on the same team, but not on the same page. They may have fake dreams and real lies or real things and fake smiles, but she still tried to make it work. However, lies were told, and now she is whining while he remains silent, trying to fight. The chorus repeats the idea that pride is still holding on to them, even though they both tried.
The song addresses the difficult situation of pride in a relationship. Sometimes, being too proud can prevent one from admitting their faults or apologizing, leading to conflicts and misunderstandings. In the end, they both realize that pride has a hold on them, and they need to strive to overcome it for their relationship to work.
