PRIDE
Unveiling the Cost of Pride: A Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
You're an asshole especially when you don't see it
You display negative behavior, especially when you are oblivious to it.
The pain in the head that everyone is thinking
The mental anguish that everyone perceives.
At your core from the inside
Your true nature from within.
The price of your pride is it's weight in size
The cost of your self-respect is proportional to its significance.
Wrapped around your mind like a blanket
Enveloping your thoughts like a covering.
Feeding your ego at the banquet
Nourishing your self-importance at a feast or celebration.
To identify is to deny
To recognize is to reject.
The price of your pride take shape with time
The value of your arrogance becomes apparent over time.
The price of your pride tells you how to die
Your self-esteem determines how you meet your end.
What you'll find is it's good to sacrifice
Sacrificing is beneficial, as you may not always attain your desires.
Cuz you can't always get what you want
Acknowledging that obtaining everything you desire is not always possible.
I can tell you this to your face and eyes
Asserting truths directly to your face and eyes.
So much is too good to be true you gotta give a little just to get along
Some things seem too good to be true; compromising is necessary for harmony.
To compare yourself to someone you don't know is to compete in a losing game
Comparing yourself to an unknown person leads to an unwinnable competition.
Fueled by pride you seal your fate
Driven by pride, you determine your destiny.
Soon enough it gets you higher than your smoke, can't be swallowed or you will choke
Pride can intoxicate more than smoke; beware of swallowing it, or you'll suffocate.
Fueled by pride you elevate
Pride propels you to higher levels.
Fueled by pride you hesitate to find
Pride makes you hesitant to discover.
What you'll find is it's good to sacrifice
Sacrificing is advantageous, as you may not always attain your desires.
Cuz you can't always get what you want
Recognizing the limitations in fulfilling one's wishes.
I can tell you this to your face and eyes
Asserting truths directly to your face and eyes.
So much is too good to be true you gotta give a little just to get along
Some things seem too good to be true; compromising is necessary for harmony.
What you'll find is it's good to sacrifice
Sacrificing is beneficial, as you may not always attain your desires.
Cuz you can't always get what you want
Recognizing the limitations in fulfilling one's wishes.
I can tell you this, to your face and eyes
Asserting truths directly to your face and eyes.
So much is too good to be true you gotta give a little just to get along
Some things seem too good to be true; compromising is necessary for harmony.
