Proud

Look at me, I'm in love
I finally found the right girl
Someone that I can spend my life with
Spend my nights with, share my life with

Focused on the paper, yeah I'm focused on the checks
Wanna make my family proud, take us out the projects
Wanna see the look on people when they say I'm up next
Been through trials and tribulations, tryna take the next step

Focused on the paper, yeah I'm focused on the checks
Wanna make my family proud, take us out the projects
Wanna see the look on people when they say I'm up next
Been through trials and tribulations, tryna take the next step

I promise I'ma make it, yeah I promise I'ma go
Yeah I promise I'ma do this shit, I swear I'll never fold
Diamonds got to go through pressure just to get a chance to glow
Used to swallow up my pride, ask for help to hear a no

Now I'm pushing past my limits, ain't nothin' going to hold me back
Yeah I'm chillin' with my homies, sitting talkin' bout the past
Remember being just a kid, tryna make my homies laugh
Always wanna see them up, never wanna see them last

Nah, focused on the paper, yeah I'm focused on the checks
Wanna make my family proud, take us out the projects
Wanna see the look on people when they say I'm up next
Been through trials and tribulations, tryna take the next step

Focused on the paper, yeah I'm focused on the checks
Wanna make my family proud, take us out the projects
Wanna see the look on people when they say I'm up next
Been through trials and tribulations, tryna take the next step

Everything inside my mind, stress to reach all of my goals
Yeah I get a little lazy, have them days where it's a no
Got to prove it to myself that I do it better than most
Yeah some people, yeah they switch up, yeah they treat me like a ghost

But that shit will never bother me, I'm better off alone
Better than I was a year ago, I guess the progress shows
Fuck a crown, fuck a bitch, yeah I'm headed for the throne
Take my family on with me, enjoying shit we never thought we'd get to know

Focused on the paper, yeah I'm focused on the checks
Wanna make my family proud, take us out the projects
Wanna see the look on people when they say I'm up next
Been through trials and tribulations, tryna take the next step

Focused on the paper, yeah I'm focused on the checks
Wanna make my family proud, take us out the projects
Wanna see the look on people when they say I'm up next
Been through trials and tribulations, tryna take the next step
