Pride
Swallowing Pride: Navigating the Streets with Kodak Black
Lyrics
I told my nigga don't tell my nigga for real don't drop no dime
I advised my friend not to betray or inform on others; don't be an informant.
Even though they got you round right now my nigga don't drop no dime
Even if you are currently in a difficult situation, refrain from cooperating with authorities.
Don't go out like these nigga they ain't official these niggas slime
Don't act like those individuals who lack authenticity and are untrustworthy.
Just look that shit in the face my nigga you straight my nigga you fine
Face challenges directly; you are okay and authentic despite the circumstances.
And I know it's easy to say when you ain't the one who facing the time
It's easy for me to say this because I'm not the one facing legal consequences.
But you gotta eat what's on your plate my nigga you signed up for this life
Accept the consequences of your choices; you chose this lifestyle.
Gotta do that shit for you, I ain't 'bout your freedom it's bout your pride
Act for yourself; it's not just about freedom but also about maintaining your self-respect.
But a nigga can't stop you dog you swallow your pride you ain't my kind
However, no one can force you; if you choose to ignore your pride, you are not someone I associate with.
That pride is the hardest thing to swallow, you can't help it
Pride is a difficult thing to accept and overcome; it's a challenging emotion.
That pride shit a motherfucker, that pride shit be deadly
Pride can be destructive and even fatal.
I know you 'bout that stressin' 'cause your daughter 'bout to be seven
Acknowledging the stress you're under, especially concerning your daughter turning seven.
Even though the streets don't love nobody we stay true to the ethics
Despite the streets being unforgiving, adhere to ethical principles.
That pride is the hardest thing to swallow, you can't help it
Pride is challenging to accept and overcome; it's a difficult emotion.
That pride shit a motherfucker, that pride shit be deadly
Pride can be destructive and even fatal.
I know you 'bout that stressin' 'cause your daughter 'bout to be seven
Acknowledging the stress you're under, especially concerning your daughter turning seven.
Even though the streets don't love nobody we stay true to the ethics
Despite the streets being unforgiving, adhere to ethical principles.
I seen you shoot a nigga, so I know you can do it nigga
Recalling a past incident where you demonstrated violence, indicating your capability.
I been in there doing it with you and I be out here doing it with you too
I have experienced the same situations with you, and I continue to support you.
My nigga take that dime, I don't want to see you get life
Accept a plea deal; I don't want to see you receive a life sentence.
I don't want you to take no chances with no crackers going to trial
Avoid taking risks with the legal system; don't go to trial against the authorities.
You already been down four my nigga all you gotta do is five
You've already served four years; you only have to endure one more.
I'm keeping it G and like I don't wanna see you to the house
I'm being genuine; I don't want to see you return to prison.
I'm keeping it G I wanna see you out here with your child
I'm sincere in wanting to see you spend time with your child outside of incarceration.
I want to see you in your old school riding behind mine
I hope to see you driving a classic car, following mine, in the future.
Like how could you even breathe knowing that you done crossed the line
Reflecting on the difficulty of living with the knowledge that you've crossed a moral boundary.
I'mma tell you what it is could you let me know what's on your mind
Let me know what you're thinking; I'll be honest about the situation.
You gotta do that shit for you ain't bout your freedom it's bout your pride
Act for yourself; it's not just about freedom but also about maintaining your self-respect.
But a nigga can't stop you dog you swallow your pride you ain't my kind
However, no one can force you; if you choose to ignore your pride, you are not someone I associate with.
That pride is the hardest thing to swallow, you can't help it
Pride is a difficult thing to accept and overcome; it's a challenging emotion.
That pride shit a motherfucker, that pride shit be deadly
Pride can be destructive and even fatal.
