Pride
Frisco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ma Pride, One day it'll be the death of me, somehow it always gets the best of me,
Ma Pride, and you can even ask the man next to me, i'm qualified, so don't try testin' me,
Ma Pride, I've been like this from the start so it's gonna be hard to start stoppin now,
Ma Pride, It made me the man i am today, so i can't turn away and just drop it out,

Ma Pride, I ain't the type to hide away,
I'm the type to cut my nose off despite my face,
And i'll argue my point till the end, unless i realise im wrong, until then ima fight my case,
They didn't wanna let me in the game, i had to find a space,
Cos i was known as a rebel, then i showed man the level,
Test Frisc and get windscreen wiped away,
(trust) you can get heated up like a microwave.
Ladies I got so much love for you,
But ma pride won't allow me to be a bugaboo, (?)
Im so stubborn, hot headed like an oven,
And you'll say may attitude stinks like a number two,

So if you heard i got boy'd off, dats lies,
Your ugly boat will get sunk, capsize,
And you can be wid your whole team,
If i'm on my ones, i ain't finkin to run, (never)
Thats pride.

Ma Pride, One day it'll be the death of me, somehow it always gets the best of me,
Ma Pride, and you can even ask the man next to me, i'm qualified, so don't try testin' me,
Ma Pride, I've been like this from the start so it's gonna be hard to start stoppin now,
Ma Pride, It made me the man i am today, so i can't turn away and just drop it out,

I ain't scared of hard work (true), always want the last word, (?)
Some say i'm hard to work out like a password,
Beef, then i blast first, beats, spit ma hard verse,
Acting like ur tough, when ur sweet like a starburst,
Too many man, that was me on the last verse,
Hotel, pop off the thong, then i blast her, (trust)
I never once said, that i was invincible,
Just don't violate ma pride or ma principle,
Please, Frisco's never been a fake, i'm original,
And anything i say in my lyric is non - fictional,
So anything i say is gospel,
I got MC's livin in ma flow like its a hostel,

So if you heard i got boy'd off, dats lies,
Your ugly boat will get sunk, capsize,
And you can be wid your whole team,
If i'm on my ones, i ain't finkin to run, (never)
Thats pride.

Ma Pride, One day it'll be the death of me, somehow it always gets the best of me,

Ma Pride, I've been like this from the start so it's gonna be hard to start stoppin now,
Ma Pride, It made me the man i am today, so i can't turn away and just drop it out,

(trust) By now, i guess you kinda get the idea,
Der ain't notin but love, passion and pride here,
It's 2000 in my year (yh) (trust),
None of dem wannit wiv Frisc, i'm a nightmare,
It's quite clear that ma prides here, and it ain't leavin,
It's quite rare, if they hype here, and i ain't squeezin,
I put the work in, shows up and down the country,
I need rest, but i'll sleep when i ain't breathin,
Wow, ur still a big man ting, where i'm from,
U get robbed it's not a give back ting,
It's not a phone me up tommorow and some bring back ting, (na)
An' the road wid couple soldiers that will split dat wing, (trust)

So if you heard i got boy'd off, dats lies,
Your ugly boat will get sunk, capsize,
And you can be wid your whole team,
If i'm on my ones, i ain't finkin to run, (never)
Thats pride.

Ma Pride, It made me the man i am today, so i can't turn away and just drop it out,
Ma Pride.
