Proud of Me

I'm proud of me
Not full of myself
My confidence is just a sign of my good mental health
I'm proud of me
Get over yourself
How I feel about me doesn't take anybody else

Give me the right of way
So I can get right down and say this right away
When I speak of pride
My skin tone don't come into play ok?

Like headlights in my face
I'm revealing to the world my dark space
They say life is like a race
And yet I treat it like a car chase

You pull ahead then fall behind
You'll fuel back up and get in line
I pass the slow, draft with the fast
I'm never running out of gas

Gotta get it when you want it
Take a chance or pass up on it
Hit that clutch 'n shifted gears
In the rear view wasted years

I flipped off old crews, took control of my life
I'm done running with scissors why not hand me a knife (Yea)
Cuz this shit is like cake let me serve you up a slice
I know baking ain't easy i got a pastry chef for a wife

I'm proud of me
Not full of myself
My confidence is just a sign of my good mental health
I'm proud of me
Get over yourself
How I feel about me doesn't take anybody else
I'm proud of me
Not full of myself
My confidence is just a sign of my good mental health
I'm proud of me
Get over yourself
How I feel about me doesn't take anybody else

(I'm)
Proud of my talk, proud of my walk
Over the piles of demons I fought
Freedom from mind is all that I Sought
A long way From the Parking Lot

What I know now? Myself I Taught
How I got here? A clue I have Not
Every idea, down I jot
Open my heart up, hope it's for naught

To those I left behind (I'm sorry)
It wasn't my intention (But)
I had a path to take (So)
I headed that direction (If you)
Think that was a mistake (I think)
You need a slight correction
I work hard I do not break
And now I'm countin' all my blessin's

So I remind myself of who I am
Every single day
And that every choice I make
Does not guarantee dismay (Nope)

Sometimes I lose sometimes I win
And tomorrow's a new day
But all I have is right now
And I'm not afraid to say

I'm proud of me
Not full of myself
My confidence is just a sign of my good mental health
I'm proud of me
Get over yourself
How I feel about me doesn't take anybody else

I've spent my whole life hustlin' (Work) kept myself bustlin'
But this just in I'm at wits end my 9to5in's at its end (It's over)
I had no time for higher education
Kept my sights on paper chasin' (Money)
Learned all I could left them all forsaken
And Just like the wolf I need more bacon

Take out what I need and leave the rest out like a sieve (Fuck it)
XP out the ass, I treat careers like a laxative
Construction, Catering, Marketing, just to name a few
I've had so many shit jobs look like I wiped ass with page two

But I excelled at them all without a major degree
Now I'm turnin' my sights on this music industry
I been around the world so many thing that I done seen
US Army did me good go check my d-d-2-14

I'm proud of me
Not full of myself
My confidence is just a sign of my good mental health
I'm proud of me
Get over yourself
How I feel about me doesn't take anybody else
I'm proud of me
Not full of myself
My confidence is just a sign of my good mental health
I'm proud of me
Get over yourself
How I feel about me doesn't take anybody elsez
