Pride

Kaarmaa.

All the women, all the money, all the fame, what you proud of
Everything that shimmers, all the glitz and the glam, what you proud of
All the children, all the family, and the friends, what you proud ofGood cop, bad cop, ten, four on all decisions ever made, what you proud of
If God with the paintbrush, could it be your pigment, your faith
Or the power of your name
Just tell me what you proud of
All the world′s a stage, and we got our parts to play, but mine looking lifesize
Once in a lifetime, just to stand tall, Optimus in your primetime
Savvy with the Sauvignon, savage with a couple glasses of that fine wine
Underneath the skylight, New York City skyline
Show me if you'd ever take a dive in the mainstream with no lifeline
I been debating the flavors, I scream (Ice cream) at the lack of role modelz
Like when you say goodbye to the sun, then it′s nighttime
Couldn't savor (Save her), such a bitter taste
When you missing just a sprinkle of some guidelines
New religion in the lifestyle, never baptized, see you break the bread, but I
Never been addicted to the limelight, sober with my hindsight
Now you overdosing on potions
Guess the deal with the Devil wasn't ever worth the highlight

If you a lion, where your pride at
If you been lying, where your pride at
If you alive, then tell me where your pride at

I never been the type just to swallow my pride, only Hip Hop swallowing mine
Life′s full of catfish, I never take the bait, hook, line, and sinker
When swimming with the great whites
Down on your knees just to suck seed (Succeed)
While I′m busy standing up for a mic check
And I might check you, with a one, two
Like I'm Mike Tys, cuz I′m quite nice, when my hand's right, am I right, G
Forbidden fruit, Mother Nature letting loose, got me going with her flow
Getting juicy but it′s no biggie
Been a good kid pimping butterflies in a mad city
Never pity the fool, that never see the pretty in you
See that Cheshire cat smile, that's a good kitty
Claws out, fist up, it′s forever Wakanda
RIP, Mr. Chadwick, you'll always be the bossman (Boseman)
Legends live forever, keep it going like a list full of commas
Spirit of the Panther living on, got me zenned out, like the Dalai Lama
Last laugh, no more tears of a clown
Going bananas, the comedian never appeals (Peels) to your drama
Last lap in a relay race with God, Jesus passing the baton
Like Lebron, pass the rock now
I'm the Lord of the Rings
Call me Frodo with my shortcomings that they always bagging
Every goddess wondering why they could never have him
I′m an AI, always automatic
You like AI, feeling out of practice
Shooting bricks cuz you never really know what your aim is
I′m Randy Johnson throwing caution to the wind
Got em buzzing what my game is
Got em buzzing what my name is
Like Marshall Mathers, title sounding heinous
Kaarmaa.'s just a D, I, C, K, aiming at the stars, at the planets
And especially Uranus (Your anus)
Plead the fifth, I′m Makavelli, only God can judge me
They don't know what pain is
Like Dos Equis, stay thirsty like your exes
Cup runneth over, so you let ′em eat cake, lost an appetite for humble
Guess I gotta bring you back to your senses
When the needle's in the haystack, how you ever gonna thread it
When Destiny looking for payback, you gotta keep an eye on your future, like Marty McFly
Time is a cycle going round and round, and your pride is the only key to end it
Feeling like Cupid missed the target, now your broken heart isn′t in it
Forget the Midas touch, toss aside that golden watch
Cuz you weighed down by the minutes
And I'm only ever making time for winning
