Pride
Nines Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That nigga Nina, he got way too much pride
Ask these rappers for a feature, I got way too much pride
Could tell me wife was skeezer, I got way too much pride
Whip under three litres, I got way too much pride

I got way too much pride
I don't let no violations slide
I swear this MAC, it came with no fries
Super sized, uh
Baby, that's your man but that nigga's my worker
Stop tryna spend my money to get your weave done
Baby, that's your man but that nigga's my worker
Stop tryna spend my money to get your weave done

'Member when them days were mad slow (now I'm on)
Now I come through racin' in the Lambo (like Bugzy Malone)
I still get paid off ammo (I'm on the block everyday)
I put a arcade in the bando
(Cost me just under 20k, suttin' like that, suttin' light)
Still make it snow in the pot, still have it growin' a crop
How could the industry know what I got? (How?)
When I'm still out here gettin' dough on the block
Heard the other side chattin' shit
Like we ain't light up the strip
Me and my guys don't slip
On the drive for trips
I ain't giving Tekashi a lift cah I got six-nines in the whip

Uh, follow the drip, nigga, follow the drip
Uh, follow the drip, nigga, follow the drip
Don't wear them bootcuts fam, they swallow your kicks
Just do it like me nigga, follow the drip

I got way too much pride
I don't let no violations slide
I swear this MAC, it came with no fries
Super sized, uh
Baby, that's your man but that nigga's my worker
Stop tryna spend my money to get your weave done
Baby, that's your man but that nigga's my worker
Stop tryna spend my money to get your weave done

I ain't slippin', got the four-fizzy in the club
He was drippy 'til I had that nigga drippin' blood
Nines, you're in the industry now, can't be flippin' bud (I don't give a fuck)
I'm still the plug nigga, I'm still the plug
I throw them bricks, link them later to pick up a draw (score)
I stepped in shit, left my Louis V kicks on the floor
I'm in the crib, all these flavours get shipped to my door
Found this pack, came from Cali like Mr. Shakur

Uh, follow the drip, nigga, follow the drip
Uh, follow the drip, nigga, follow the drip
Don't wear them bootcuts fam, they swallow your kicks
Just do it like me nigga, follow the drip

I got way too much pride
I don't let no violations slide
I swear this MAC, it came with no fries
Super sized, uh
Baby, that's your man but that nigga's my worker
Stop tryna spend my money to get your weave done




Baby, that's your man but that nigga's my worker
Stop tryna spend my money to get your weave done
