[Hook]
Pride is the devil
I think it got a hold on me
Pride is the devil
It left so many R.I.P
Pride is the devil
I think it got a hold on me
Pride is the devil

Terrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill the void
And when you're gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed?
Terrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill the void
And when you’re gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed?

[Verse 1]
And this one goes out to the ones who never made it back
The ones who caught a glance of hell and chose a ticket there
To those lying thru their teeth about a bloody nose
Whole time ducking family, secret everybody knows
Cell phone calls at 4 am, hit the whole rolodex with a couple of spins
What about pride? That’s a soul fucking screamin
And not for nada, topped with masculinity, defeat is
Frankly not an option, know it toxic
Hitting all these bars, the lines get blurred, but hustling
Offers at least a lil allure
Free drugs cause they always on hand, tells himself that it
Puts some change up in his pocket again
Maybe one day stack a couple of racks and move out
Out his parents’ crib, he’s caged by his doubt
Too proud rather be buried than ask for some help
[Hook]
Pride is the devil
I think it got a hold on me
Pride is the devil
It left so many R.I.P
Pride is the devil
I think it got a hold on me
Pride is the devil

Terrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill the void
And when you're gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed?
Terrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill the void
And when you’re gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed?

[Verse 2]
Too many dead to count, whats the amount?
Yeah, supposed to be?
Da darker da day I had left behind, I gotta couple friends ya see
They bag it up, and often times they snort it
Praying it ain't cut, I only they don’t OD..

Pride, pride, be, be the mother fucking devil
Hangin in these bars late night, with our demons revel
We gone fill up the ashtray, twist up the backwoods
But don’t you challenge, you can suck a dick backwards
Fact is the passwords, cheat codes, unlocked
All I had to do was to clean my act up
But my mama had her problems and so did my pops
And my four of five grandparents all drank a lot
They was alcoholics, share all this knowledge
Not to dwell upon my trauma, but to tell you how I thought of it
In my rationale was “can’t beat it, this is deep seated
In my DNA, there’s no defeating”
Ahem, but how wrong I was, it took me 17 years to say enough is enough
Friends dropped like flies, with pride eaten, consumed
Untruths painted their views, perceive your life how you choose
[Outro]
Pride is the devil
I think it got a hold on me
Pride is the devil
It left so many R.I.P
Pride is the devil
I think it got a hold on me
Pride is the devil
Pride is the devil
