Rid My Pride

Baby I know I ain't right
See I'm just gatherin' the clues
All I know is how to try
But girl sometimes I'm kinda boof
Pray to God I rid my pride
And do my job and that's the truth
I know one day ima die
Before I do
I wanna prove
That I'm better than I been
I'm just busy in my head
But girl that's never no excuse
Gotta choose to climb the fence
I'm just tryna make amends
Girl that's all that's left to do

It's been a while now
I been in a drought girl
Look at my soul...
It's in a compound tryna get it out
I done put it on hold...

No control
When I get in my flesh
I feel broke even though I'm blessed
I need mo', feel it in my chest

So what's next?

Should I go visit a specialist tell em to gimme some meds? For my, head
Maybe a solid neurologist
Someone wit knowledge I lack? I should, ask

Or Maybe I'm dark hearted
Maybe I'm, one of them lost causes
Maybe I'm, really a, con-artist
I'm flawed, on god
I'm far from righteous, that's true

Baby I know I ain't right
See I'm just gatherin' the clues
All I know is how to try
But girl sometimes I'm kinda boof
Pray to God I rid my pride
And do my job and that's the truth
I know one day ima die
Before I do
I wanna prove
That I'm better than I been
I'm just busy in my head
But girl that's never no excuse
Gotta choose to climb the fence
I'm just tryna make amends
Girl that's all that's left to do

All I know's I can't afford to not be workin' on myself
If I do I know I'll slowly tip us over til we spill
I don't wanna end this story witchu broken from my mess
I won't wreck
What we built
Let's steer this ship
Now take a left now

Shawty when we met
Do you remember
How you felt, wow?
Yeah I know you felt
The way I felt, you blew my chest out

I was workin' hard to earn yo praise
But I guess I got complacent
When I wifed you out the game

And I'm ashamed
Cuz I get in my ways
And I take my breaks
Like I'm not on shift
It's not okay
When I crawl in caves
And I hide my face from the job I picked

I'm a real long dick
Girl excuse my French
I can't describe it out that frame
I choose sin
Even though I live
My life for God, am I insane?

I'm not gon' blame nobody
Won't shame nobody
But me, myself, and I
You see my brain so clouded
By laze and folly
I hate myself sometimes

I look in my eyes
And see that I'm not
The nigga I needa be
I'm a façade
I look at the clock
And see that it's not
Promisin' time
It's promised to stop
Ima die

Baby I know I ain't right
See I'm just gatherin' the clues
All I know is how to try
But girl sometimes I'm kinda boof
Pray to God I rid my pride
And do my job and that's the truth
I know one day ima die
Before I do
I wanna prove
That I'm better than I been
I'm just busy in my head
But girl that's never no excuse
Gotta choose to climb the fence
I'm just tryna make amends
Girl that's all that's left to do
