Pride is the Devil
B                      Em7
Think it got a hold on me
      C             A6sus2
Pride is the Devil
B                   Em7
It left so many R.I.P.

Pride is the Devil

                     Em7          C                        A6sus2    B
And when you’re gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed?
Em7   C                              A6sus2      B

[Verse 1]
Em7                  C
Bright lights pass me in the city, it’s emеrgency
   A6sus2                      B
I'm thankful 'cause I made it past my thirties, no one murdered me
Em7                  C
Still remember vividly the nigga that pulled a gun on me
   A6sus2                 B
I'm petrified, but moving like I got no sense of urgency
Em7                C
Pride make a nigga act way harder than he really be
A6sus2               B
Pride hide the shame when city cut off all utilities
Em7                    C
Pride hide the pain of growing up inhaling poverty
A6sus2             B
Pride make a nigga feel the way that you would follow me
Em7                C
Make a nigga flash a thousand like he hit the lottery
A6sus2           B
Make a baby mama make shit harder than it gotta be
Em7                   C
Make you have to take the bitch to court to see your prodigy
A6sus2               B
Make you have to use your last resort and pull a robbery
Em7                 C
Pride be the reason for the family dichotomy
    A6sus2                  B
Got uncles and some aunties that's too proud to give apologies
Em7              C
Slowly realizing what the root of all my problems be
   A6sus2                   B                                   Em7
It got me feeling different when somebody say they proud of me
 
 
[Chorus]
      C             A6sus2
Pride is the Devil
B                      Em7
Think it got a hold on me
      C             A6sus2
Pride is the Devil
B                   Em7
It left so many R.I.P.
      C             A6sus2
Pride is the Devil
B                      Em7
Think it got a hold on me
      C             A6sus2 B
Pride is the Devil
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Em7   C                              A6sus2      B
Terrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill the void
                     Em7          C                        A6sus2    B
And when you’re gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed?
Em7   C                              A6sus2      B
Terrified, paranoid, I'll put you over everything to fill the void
                     Em7          C                        A6sus2    B
And when you’re gone, will I have anything or will I be destroyed?
 
 
[Bridge]
Em7                      C
Too much money to count, what’s the amount?
 
Check never bounce
        A6sus2                    B
I gotta pay a nigga to add it up
                                        Em7                             C
Then pay somebody to make sure whatever amount he say he can back it up
                                          A6sus2
Got racks on racks, I'm rackin’ up, stackin' up
 
You're reachin', I’m actin' up
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Break it down, weigh it up, now bag it up
       Em7
Making five a month, that's regular
C
Nigga playing with us, that's a negative
   A6sus2
Go back to start, that's never
B
I'm a boss, my closet leather
         Em7
Ain't no off-days on my schedule
C
Long as I live, we live forever
        A6sus2
Told my twin this shit get better
B
These niggas done slipped, let me ahead 'em
       Em7                   C
Got my feet up, I paid silly bands to have sex on the jet
       A6sus2                      B
I don't need 'em, that shit in the past, I'm feelin' like what's next
       Em7                       C
Got my speed up, foot all on the gas, this not a C8 'Vette
      A6sus2              B
I can beat 'em, I believe in me, just tell me what's the bet
N.c.
All my pride gone, had to lose it all then I got rich
N.c.
I own five homes, glad some of this shit starting to make sense
N.c.
I'm staying hella focused and I can't forget the bigger picture
N.c.
I can't even hold you, I didn't have shit, I won't forget it
Em7                  C
Will I be destroyed?
                                 A6sus2                   B
Come to me with everything, it's starting to get annoying
                                   Em7                    C
I'm addicted to promethazine, it's crazy, yeah, I know it
                                      A6sus2
All this money coming in, it drive me crazy not to show it
B                          Em7
I'll be crazy if I blow it
 
 
[Chorus]
      C             A6sus2
Pride is the Devil
B                      Em7
Think it got a hold on me
      C             A6sus2
Pride is the Devil
B                   Em7
It left so many R.I.P.
      C             A6sus2
Pride is the Devil
B                      Em7
Think it got a hold on me
      C             A6sus2 B
Pride is the Devil
