Proud (Intro)

I just wanna make you proud
I don't mean to bring you down
Ever since I lost my wings I been walking on the ground
I don't like it
You look at my life and say I'm lucky
You don't see what life has taken from me

I said ima give it all I could though
If you don't do it right, than what you good for
Quit before I try I thought I'd fail so
Quit before I tried I thought I'd fail
Tell me we succeed through repetition
You so lazy nigga you should listen
You gon ride alone that's your tradition
Fuck the past, what come from reminiscing
Got me lookin in the mirror like its not me
I don't recognize him hard to process what I see
Go for what you want your not just anybody
Please don't doubt yourself, you know yourself is all you need
Please don't doubt yourself, you know yourself is all you need
(Don't doubt yourself)

I just wanna make you proud, yeah
I don't mean to bring you down
Ever since I lost my wings I been walking on the ground (Oh yeah)
You look at my life and say I'm lucky
You don't see what life has taken from me

You wanted they approval (Huh)
You wanted them to choose you
What I say isn't good enough, so I assume you want me to lose you
Who are you without me (Huh)
Hard to explain with this noose around me (Ugh)
Could you loosen it
Couldn't get through the day if it's you that doubts me
For a long time, a nigga got no shine
I was in the shade room, on a nine five
Waiting on a deadline, that ain't never come
I was overseas wit Johnson and them
I just want keys to the cell that I'm in
Grind till I break see that state that I'm in
I ain't even notice that I failed you again
Cause your boy got a cold demeanor
Countless haters, firm believer
Calculated, combination
But currently, I ain't got no conscience either
For them, its just entertainment
For you, it's hard to explain it
I don't give a fuck if I was famous
As long I got bread to pay my payments
As long as I can live and feel amazing (On God)
As long as I can live and feel amazing
I don't give a fuck if I was famous
As long I got bread to pay my payments

You been improving
You gotta notice your movements
Ain't nobody else who can do it
(Ain't nobody else who can do it)
I was riding on a wave, but it's dying down
Try to hold it in but it's coming out
I just wanna (Oh yeah)
I just wanna make you proud

You been improving

I was riding on a wave, but it's dying down
Try to hold it in but it's coming out
I just wanna
(I just wanna)
I just wanna make you proud

I just wanna make you proud
