the proud - vera valorum lyrics

[intro]
to bring peace, to bring true happiness
one must first discipline and control one’s own mind
if a man can control his own mind
he can find the way to enlightenment
and all wisdom will naturally come to him
he reaps honour, one who sows virtue
i was down when they wanted me
i was out when they found me
every life is a march from innocence
that had me feeling down just a little bit
through temptation
i was down just a little bit
to virtue
but now i’m back up
or vice
you better save the game, cause i’m bout to back up

[verse 1]
when i roll with mandem, that is 1 arda
talk about a plug then i got myself a charger
and i’ve becoming a better man than my absent father
talk about life and how it’s becoming harder
i’ve had my bad days, but days like these are sounder
suffering in silence but today i’m speaking louder
my pride is on the rise as i’m becoming more prouder
raised by my environment and this final product
my desires and the fires i’ve ignited in my heart
lead me to higher peaks than spires i’ve declined and let p-ss
my bank card been declined but i don’t take that shit to heart
when i improve my life, i can just leave that in the past
past: i was moving bogey to the par
at present: i put in shifts and then lock up
now i’m on the glow and the only way is up
you’ll see me in versace cause i’m done with primark
playing with the old, going for a new look
i’m done with all the tricks, i’m writing a new book
the way i carry myself with the swagger on the hooks
got these other niggas looking shook
i take my time about it though just look how long it took
for me to level up to a villain from a crook
i been feeling like a gazillion dollars in the cut
i’m feeling like my women look, so things looking good

[hook]
cause i’d be crazy
to let my pride go
and let some other negros
come in try show me up, oh no
i ain’t having that for breakfast
i ain’t having that for brunch
i ain’t having that for dinner, afternoon tea or lunch
so just watch

[verse 2]
i’ve been dying to supply the right fire for the fights
it’s a desired state of mind how i can light em with the rhymes
and i’ve been fighting with the lines of other rappers in the light
but with vitamins that i have, they are sour like limes
and i’ve been flowering and towering over all these mannequins
rappers take a sound, and there’s that same sound again
there’s that beat, it’s back again, i’m sick and tired of them
i’m spitting fire so can get back on that again?
okay i’m back again, picking up the slack again
molly, percocets, xanny, weed and the tobac again
so much snow, it’s like you went tobogganing
but i don’t want to be on that, my friend
nah, i don’t wanna be involved
i can tell they’re pissed off cause this isn’t for the club
this isn’t for the radio or even for the ride
this song is why i didn’t take my life, it’s pride

[bridge]
to bring peace, to bring true happiness
one must first discipline and control one’s own mind
every life is a march from innocence
through temptation
they had me feeling down just a little bit
to virtue
i was down just a little bit
or vice

[verse 3]
they had me feeling down just a little bit
now and then i took a couple ls just a little bit
but then i found my inner peace
i looked under my pillow and i found another piece
i looked into my duffle bag and found my inner beast
i looked into the mirror and i saw a masterpiece
i look into the sky, thank god for my life
ask mama for forgiveness as i’m sure one day i’ll die
even though she doesn’t like the way i live my life
i’ve been purchasing a ticket to redemption on the sly
i even dropped all my other b-tches on the side
i’m sorry that i played you all, i’m sorry that i lied
even though i tried, to be a better guy
my best was not enough, so they all gave me a pie
the humble way of life is something i lost on the ride
i’ve lived and i’ll die, but i’ve never lost my pride

[hook]
cause i’d be crazy
to let my pride go
and let some other negros
come in try show me up oh no
i ain’t having that for breakfast
i ain’t having that cr-p
i ain’t having that for supper, for a meal or as a snack
brap brap! grahh!
