I WILL FORGIVE YOU OF ALL YOUR SINS
IF YOU GIVE ME EITHER A FEATURE SLOT
OR TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
OH, IT’S 137 ON THIS SHIT AGAIN! (LRA, LRA, LRA) 2x
[Chorus]
Pride is the Devil... (IT’S MEF, ALL DAY, DOWN TO THE BONE!) (Uyuh, uyuh, uyuhhhh)
Think it got a hold on me, (AGH-HAAAAAA!!!! OKAY, OKAY!)
Pride is the Devil... (OKAY OKAY!) (3x)
Got so many on its strings
Pride is the Devil!
Let’s see what all this pride gon’ bring
Pride is the Devil…
[Post-Chorus]
Desperate, I’m flexin’, I said
I’m desperate, I’m flexin’, I said
I’m desperate, I’m flexin’
Okay, okay, okay, (2x) (okay okay okayyy!)
Desperate, I’m flexin’, I said
I’m desperate, I’m flexin’, I said
I’m desperate, I’m flexin’, I said
I said, I said, I said, I said
Desperate, I’m flexin’, I said
I’m desperate, I’m flexin’, I said
I’m desperate, I’m flexin’
Okay, okay
Okay...
[Verse 1]
Drive you to abyss
Liquefy your wits
Leave you for the buzzards (yah!)
All to go follow shiny shit, (yah!)
Some status or some worthless numbers (yah, yah!)
Excess, we’re trained to covet (okay, okay!)
Infallible, can’t make, so bluff it (okay, oh!)
Ego busted, like a buck, I’ll buff it (okay, yah!)
Hope no foe go poke my buttons (okay, yah!)
Scuff my image, on some real shit (okay, yah!)
I will kill to heal that up quick
Girl in middle of channeling wisdom, and I’ll butt in
Fucked up youth, with smarts and truth, I plan to touch ‘em
But troubled that my hand without a cup, would crumble, like a muffin, no
Oven
But I feel the fire
Ire
At every slight, I’m wired
Like IED, I’ll size up
Anyone who want it, light up (doot, doot, doot, doot...)
In this plastic jungle
If I’m bout to drop the ball, pride make sure won’t pass, I’ll fumble
Bolster shit against its seduction, I try to keep it humble
Then peep Lil Baby where I feel he obviously not ‘posed to be, and then I stumble
Unh (work!)
Again, and again, and again (ohhh...okay!)
Until my life is rubble…
[Chorus]
Pride is the Devil...
Think it got a hold on me
Pride is the Devil...
Got so many on its strings
Pride is the Devil!
Let’s see what all this pride gon’ bring
Pride is the Devil…
(The Devil, the Devil, the Devil, the Devil, the Devil, the--)
[Verse 2]
I got wrist! (I got wrist--fuck)
When I get luxury whip, I'ma flex so hard! (I got wrist...I got wrist!)
Nada shit, for bro or sis (yaaaaah!)
I deserve all this (yah-yah!)
'Til my best one gone (yah-huh, yah-yah!)
A sea of yes men, for when those checks come in, yah! (okay, okay, okay, okay, okay)
Real dreams festerin' (okay, ahh-haa)
But if a hollow song spread like pestilence, I ball (ah-ha-ha, ayuh!)
I follow, I follow
But sue over I.P.!
Fitted pitch whispered into my violence, my greed
It make my fellow inmates into objects, worthy of naught but serving me
My depression, tellin' all bout how futile resisting these urges be
And it makes some solid fucking points
You either smart, or you have joy
I would abolish all the noise
In my ears, but I fear I’ll end in anguish
I, got
Shoulder angels, shoulder demons
But they both speak the same language...
I say I’ll take it as it comes
Grow with the punches
But even my heroes like Jermaine and his lectures and wonders
Can go from “Rich Niggas” all the way to “Applying Pressure” or something, uh...
(Did you really just diss the Baby AND Cole? You tryna diss T-Minus next?)
(No bruh it’s not a diss, it’s—okay the Baby shit was a bit of a diss but the Cole spit is constructive criticism, I love him, it’s—) (work, work, work, work, work!)
(It’s some wokescold shit)
(I’m gonna do what I gotta do, go where I gotta go, these words are important for our collective growth, I--)
(C--Collective WHAT? You think you God or some shit homie?? Get off the throne)
[Interlude]
I got wrist, I got whip (unh)
I got a soccer mom in pills (yah?)
I got clips, I got chills
From these diamonds, mined from hills (uh-huh, uh-huh, yah?)
By slaves (yah)
Love me some slaves (uh-huh, uh-huh, yah?)
Know they makin’ all this drip (yuh)
Bricks of their skin (yuh)
Where I sit (yuh)
Where I shit (yuh)
Where I sin
I GOT FUCKING HEAVY SIN
IT BLED ME, LEFT ME IN A DITCH
I GOT SHIT, I GOT HATE
I GOT FIBS, I GOT FAME
I GOT MISERY FOR DAYS
BUT I AIN’T GOT NO GODDAMNED SHAME
YOU WANT IT ALL? YOU KNOW THE NAME
I’LL ANSWER WHEN IT’S CALLED IN VAIN
UGH (ugh...)
[Chorus]
Pride is the Devil... (fuck outta here, ahhh!)
Think it got a hold on me
Pride is the Devil...
Got so many on its strings
Pride is the Devil...
Let’s see what all this pride gon’ bring
Pride is the Devil…
(Hm...)
I THINK IT GOTTA...
[Outro]
I got wrist, I got whip
I got a soccer mom in pills
I got clips, I got chills
From these diamonds, mined from hills
By slaves
Love me some slaves
Know they makin’ all this drip
Bricks of their skin, where I sit, where I shit, where I sin
I-I-I-I got wrist, I got whip
I got a soccer mom in pills
I got clips, I got chills
From these diamonds, mined from hills
By slaves
Love me some slaves
Know they makin’ all this drip
Bricks of their skin, where I sit, where I shit, where I-I-I-I-I-I
I got wrist, I got whip
I got a soccer mom in pills (pride is the Devil...)
I got clips, I got chills
From these diamonds, mined from hills (think it got a hold on me)
By slaves
Love me some slaves
Know they makin’ all this drip (pride is the Devil...)
Bricks of their skin, where I sit, where I shit, where I--where I-- (got so many on its strings)
I got WRI-I-I-I
I got WHI-I-I-I (pride is the Devil...)
I got a soccer mom in pills
I got clips, I got chills
From these diamonds, mined from hills (let’s see what all this pride gon’ bring)
By slaves
Love me some slaves
Know they makin’ all this drip (pride is the Devil…)
Bricks of their skin, where I sit, where I shit, where I sin...
(De, De-De)
