Pride Alone

Well I remember 2 things very well I heard 'em say go
Finished opened up my eyes & heard 'em say whoa
Walking through the barbershops I heard 'em saying quotes
All because in my mind I never heard 'em say no
You see I wasn't felt for a long time
But pride alone took me for a long ride now I'm soaring on 'em
Used to serve drinks on airplanes now I'm touring on 'em
Driver's seat in my own lane 'bout to floor it on 'em
Lyrics from my iPhone flowing like a cyclone
Watch the Throne risks if you let me into my zone
Nas who know me be like damn dawg you on some st
I been in this stu making the music you won't forget
So when you see that red light on
I'm Philly Collins getting my Air of the Night on
Making the st that turns nas into icons
Moments that fans pray somebody caught on they Nikon
This life comes with being known for your flows
And being shown clothes well after the stores close
Calling me Mr. Jones & everything's on the house
All because the st you let slip outtalk your mouth
It's a trip but trust me it's the st & I ain't letting up
Eating a little but I feel like I ain't get enough
Put me in a box & all I do is raise the ceiling up
Cup overrunneth no means to stop filling up

Did you get enough
No
Okay

Rapper slash singer slash dope s brother
Slash one half of the team on the come up
I remember back when ain't nobody wanna
Buy a track but we placed 8 songs last summer
And that's not even counting all the work that we done here
Splashed up on everybody's radar in one year
Can't call it work I'm having so much fun here
Putting on hard for the city that I'm from yeah
216 when you hear about Cleveland
It always seems to be about some st you don't believe in
That's 'cause all our heroes been a little bit deceiving
But we stopped the bleeding let the fking new breed in
Game recognize game hs recognize fame
I recommend that you learn to despise fame
Just 'cause you a star don't mean that we don't recognize lames
I can tell a py when I'm looking in his eyes man
Oh it's funny how the role switches
And yesterday's young stars become old bhes
Bitter s nas with a grudge
Against any new artist with a buzz the f*ck is the love
Too much energy spent tryna get rid of me
That's why all of y'all careers is stuck in the mud
That bitter stance only make you sink faster
I'm not looking at you dudes I see past ya
We see them dead presidents & green pastures
Y'all grilling from the sidelines we laughing
All the way to bank on these bastards
