[Sample: Destiny’s Child – Solange]
You and me, we’ll always be tight
Family every single day and night
Even when you start acting like a fool
You know I’m loving every single thing you do
[Verse 1]
f** it, you made me proud of me
‘Cause I know that you doubted me
Even told me I would never get with ya
Told me I could never get with ya
But this pride in me, wouldn’t let you slide by me
That’s when I came back ’round
I played my game with no respect
I finessed just to make me seem down but
I finessed ya, it was all a stresser
I was young n***a messed up, f**ed your head up
Should have never came round
You let me in and I let you down
I was wrong ’cause I fought all the game, baby
You name crazy in the streets, got ’em sayin’ things
My pride was the cause of it all
I apologize for the flaws in it all, wrongs in it all ’cause
[Hook]
You and me, we’ll always be tight
Family every single day and
And even when I starts acting like a fool
Somehow I always could fall back on you
When I’m not proud and always like myself
It’s hurting you more than anybody else
And every day, what I try not to do
Is let my pride get between me and you
[Verse 2]
Baby, I should have listened when you told me
I would do better as the homie yeah
Right there, I should have took a note
But pride was buggin’ on me
I shouldn’t, I shouldn’t make excuses now
‘Cause I know that it’s useless now
You know what the truth is now
You swear you know how I do sh** now
So I’ll be gone ’til November
Talkin’ old Timberlands in the winter
With this .5 on my side with my .40
You moved on but you still are my shawty
I don’t wanna lie because I’m right with you
You always picked me up, I don’t get you
I been tryna find your heart, I’m still tryin’
You can find someone else but you’re still mine
[Hook]
You and me, we’ll always be tight
Family every single day and
And even when I starts acting like a fool
Somehow I always could fall back on you
When I’m not proud and always like myself
It’s hurting you more than anybody else
And every day, what I try not to do
Is let my pride get between me and you
