Yolanda Renee - Foolish Pride lyrics

[Intro] Lo' and behold You see my foolish pride Sometime's it's like my suicide Ayo [Verse 1] A school nerd, I had gla**es on my eye All my cla**mates blowing weed, I'm pa**ing on the high Always calm now, but back then was walking to a different anthem I had some interactions that brought on some temper tantrums In 5th grade, see I was fighting every day Heard Calvin yell "yo mama", so I knocked him in his face 6th grade came and that's when I hit Vincent in his nose Got his blood on my patrol guard outfit, I went home Now in 7th grade I'm feeling like when David met Goliath I'm in a new school and see they test me cause I'm quiet I'm such a nice guy but they take my kindness for weakness So now I'm back fighting again, looking like Zebras Earning my stripes See all that teasing seem to stop when they learn you can fight Looking at all these kids shoes, I was yearning for Mike's These girls found out I could hoop, now they flirt with me nice I was turning my dice, but then high school came and reality set They don't use fists no more, now they're fighting with TECs So I quickly had to check my temper I wasn't dying for my pride, a lesson I'd remember Pre-Hook So please don't judge me, so please don't judge me I'm just like you, I'm just like you, yeah Please don't judge me, I promise you'd love me If you only knew, what I've been through [[Hook] My foolish pride is my suicide I'm just like you, just a fool My foolish pride is my suicide I'm just like you, just a fooll [Post-Hook] Pride comes before the fall And you never know how far you're falling Your pride gon' make you fall Out of the sky my angels falling [Outro Skit] Robert: You know living with you, it hasn't been easy. People see me, but they think of you. Now with all this going on, it's gonna be worth that ever Rocky: It don't have to be Robert: No sure it does Rocky: Let me tell you something you already know. Somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. The wordl ain't all sunshine or rainbows. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. Now if you know what you're worth then go on and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!
