Lyrics Overview - Pride is the Devil Think it got a hold on me Pride is the Devil It left so many R.I.P. Pride is the Devil Think it got a hold on me Pride is the Devil, yeah, uh Terrified, paranoid.
[Intro: J. Cole]
Uh
[Chorus: J. Cole]
Pride is the Devil
Think it got a hold on me
Pride
is the Devil
It left so many R.I.P.
Pride is the Devil
Think
it got a hold on me
Pride is the Devil, yeah, uh
[Post-Chorus: J. Cole]
Terrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything
to fill the void
And when you're gone, will I have anything or will I be
destroyed? Uh
Terrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill
the void
And when you're gone, will I have anything or will I be
destroyed? Yeah
[Verse 1: J. Cole]
Bright lights pass me in the city, it's emergency
I'm
thankful 'cause I made it past my thirties, no one murdered me
Still
remember vividly the nigga that pulled a gun on me
I'm petrified, but
moving like I got no sense of urgency
Pride make a nigga act way harder
than he really be
Pride hide the shame when city cut off all utilities
Pride
hide the pain of growing up inhaling poverty
Pride make a nigga feel a
way that you unfollowed me
Make a nigga flash a thousand like he hit the
lottery
Make a baby mama make shit harder than it gotta be
Make you
have to take the bitch to court to see your prodigy
Make you have to use
your last resort and pull a robbery
Pride be the reason for the family
dichotomy
Got uncles and some aunties that's too proud to give
apologies
Slowly realizing what the root of all my problems be
It
got me feeling different when somebody say they proud of me
[Chorus: J. Cole]
Pride is the Devil, uh
I think it got a hold on
me
Pride is the Devil, uh
It left so many R.I.P.
Pride is
the Devil
I think it got a hold on me
Pride is the Devil, uh, yeah
[Post-Chorus: J. Cole]
Terrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything
to fill the void
And when you're gone, will I have anything or will I be
destroyed? Uh
Terrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill
the void
And when you're gone, will I have anything or will I be
destroyed? Yeah
[Bridge: J. Cole]
Too much money to count, what's the amount?
Check
never bounce
I gotta pay a nigga to add it up
Then pay somebody to
make sure whatever amount he say he can back it up
Got racks on racks,
I'm rackin' up, stackin' up
You're reachin', I'm actin' up
[Verse 2: Lil Baby]
Break it down, weigh it up, now bag it up
Making
five a month, that's regular
Nigga playing with us, that's a negative
Go
back to start, that's never
I'm a boss, my closet leather
Ain't no
off-days on my schedule
Long as I live, we live forever
Told my twin
this shit get better
These niggas done slipped, let me ahead 'em
Got
my feet up, I paid silly bands to have sex on the jet
I don't need 'em,
that shit in the past, I'm feelin' like what's next
Got my speed up, foot
all on the gas, this not a C8 'Vette
I can beat 'em, I believe in me,
just tell me what's the bet
All my pride gone, had to lose it all then I
got rich
I own five homes, glad some of this shit starting to make
sense
I'm staying hella focused and I can't forget the bigger picture
I
can't even hold you, I didn't have shit, I won't forget it
Will I be
destroyed?
Come to me with everything, it's starting to get annoying
I'm
addicted to promethazine, it's crazy, yeah, I know it
All this money
coming in, it drive me crazy not to show it
I'll be crazy if I blow it
[Chorus: J. Cole]
Pride is the Devil, uh
I think it got a hold on
me
Pride is the Devil, uh
And it left so many R.I.P.
Pride
is the Devil
I think it got a hold on me
Pride is the Devil, uh
