PRIDE
GoGetta.Kb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need 8 figures
Never wanted 6
I remember running in my ASICS
With a late kick
But I got it fixed
Coach tell me straighten your back
I know your daddy won't ever come back
It's like the memory's all that I have
Damn
Baby
You want to know where I'm from
Why I can't love
The pride in me
The pride in me
Baby
I just see you from above
And you recognize
There's a fight in me
Fight in me
Reminisce sit back
I smoke on this gas
She turn me up
Now she up in a trance
Double d's
Hourglass
Making it clap
Up in the stars
Smoking six out the pack
Shaky foundation
My roots in the ground
She brought me up
But could not hold me down
Blowing my hair with my head in the clouds
Metaphor that I'm on top of it now
Lessons I learned got my pride fixed
I done grown up so young
Like my mind switched
Used to hate my mama
Screaming die bitch
But I thank my mama she's alive still
Instead of really giving you time
I wrote
Thinking you in every single rhyme
I wrote
Look at my past
Hoping I don't relapse
I'm praying to God
Hoping I don't relapse
Baby
You want to know where I'm from
Why I can't love
The pride in me
The pride in me
Baby
I just see you from above
And you recognize
There's a fight in me
Fight in me
For reasons I'm thinking
You too much to handle
I fight my battles
Taking deep breaths
When you say
That you want to travel
I tell you to grab the ball
And take 3 steps
Your faith in me been in a drought
I see your ways
And you look like a clown
Breaking us up
Cause you can't hold me down
I know my limits
And I'm in the clouds
Ya
I can't hide
What I dream at night
Yet I wallow in my pride
Every time while I'm
Sitting on my ass
And reminisce at your pad
Had a blunt rolled tight
And you look so bad
And we were up late nights
Call it kicking it back
Brought the heat way up
Dripping sweat on your back
Baby
You want to know where I'm from
Why I can't love
The pride in me
The pride in me
Baby
I just see you from above
And you recognize
There's a fight in me
Fight in me

Reminisce sit back
Let's take a moment to look back and remember
I smoke on this gas
I'm smoking weed and relaxing
She turn me up
She makes me feel good
Now she up in a trance
She is lost in ecstasy
Double d's
Refers to breast size
Hourglass
Refers to an attractive female figure
Making it clap
Dancing in a provocative manner
Up in the stars
Drifting away from the world and into my own dreams
Smoking six out the pack
Smoking cigarettes one by one
Shaky foundation
My home life wasn't stable and thus it has affected me greatly
My roots in the ground
I know where I come from and who I am
She brought me up
She made me who I am today
But could not hold me down
But I will never be stifled or lost
Blowing my hair with my head in the clouds
I'm drifting on my own thoughts and dreams
Metaphor that I'm on top of it now
Figuratively, I am now in control and at the peak of my life
Lessons I learned got my pride fixed
The hardships I experienced have made me more resilient and confident
I done grown up so young
I have had to mature and take responsibility at a very young age
Like my mind switched
I've had to change and adapt quickly
Used to hate my mama
There was tension and resentment with my mother in the past
Screaming die bitch
I would express all my anger and frustrations at my mother
But I thank my mama she's alive still
But I am grateful that my mother is still with me today
Instead of really giving you time
Instead of actually spending time with you and giving you my full attention
I wrote
I turned to writing and music to express myself
Thinking you in every single rhyme
I think of you when I write and make music
Look at my past
Take a look at what I've been through
Hoping I don't relapse
I hope I don't fall back into destructive behaviors
I'm praying to God
I am seeking help from a higher power
For reasons I'm thinking
I'm trying to figure out why I'm feeling this way
You too much to handle
You are too difficult for me to manage emotionally
I fight my battles
I am always facing challenges and overcoming them on my own
Taking deep breaths
To calm myself down and focus my mind
When you say that you want to travel
When you talk about leaving and going somewhere else
I tell you to grab the ball and take 3 steps
I encourage you to take the initiative and pursue your dreams
Your faith in me been in a drought
You have lost faith in me and my abilities recently
I see your ways and you look like a clown
I see through your behavior and don't take you seriously
Breaking us up
Causing a separation in our relationship
Cause you can't hold me down
Because you cannot keep up with me or control me
I know my limits
I know what I am capable of
And I'm in the clouds
I am dreaming and aiming high
Ya
Yeah
I can't hide
I cannot disguise or conceal
What I dream at night
My deepest aspirations and hopes
Yet I wallow in my pride
Despite my ambitions and confidence, sometimes I still struggle and doubt myself
Every time while I'm
Whenever I am
Sitting on my ass
Being idle and unproductive
And reminisce at your pad
Thinking about the times I spent with you
Had a blunt rolled tight
Smoking marijuana
And you look so bad
You looked so attractive and desirable
And we were up late nights
We stayed up late together enjoying each other's company
Call it kicking it back
Relaxing and having a good time together
Brought the heat way up
The sexual tension between us increased
Dripping sweat on your back
Physical intimacy and exertion between us
