Proud Lyrics

Verse 1
Working hard for my city, Working hard for my mama
Trying to give her less stress, Less drama
Want to show my little sis we can do it
I can make some music, spit some fluid, and really put them through it
Reaching my goals is so important to me
I plan to achieve the impossible. Succeed over any obstacles
Give my mom some rest, No more jobs at the hospital
Illogical, is never in my vocab
You know that, I just really want to experience something
Make a change in someone's life
That's why I'm writing songs every day and night
I wish everyday of life
I could become someone's inspiration
Breaks I'm never taking
365, No vacations
Keep it real, Never faking
When my chance comes you know I'ma take it
Making music is my specialty, Especially
When I'm thinking about what I can do to the booth
Forget a 9 to 5, I ain't taking that
I'm stating facts

Chorus
I just want to be good, I don't want to be bad
I just want to make them proud, I just want to make them proud
Get my fam out the hood, Don't want to be like my dad
I just want to make them proud, I just want to make them proud
I just want to be good, I don't want to be bad
I just want to make them proud, I just want to make them proud
Get my fam out the hood, Don't want to be like my dad
I just want to make them proud, I just want to make them proud
Verse 2
Shoutout to my producer Kool-ID on the beat
Helping me since day one, Never ever going to leave
Been on this music stuff for a good while, I know my time is now
I just want to make them proud
Never hold back on my fam, Help out as best as I can
Try to be the man of the house, I really hope she understand
I just want to make it in the industry but knowing me
I'ma summon positive energy, Into me
Been deceived many times in my life
Never cry for another night
Any battles I swear I'll use all my might
Stay strong no matter what
No ifs, ands, or buts
Never giving up
I swear I don't get enough
I don't want anymore cold nights so I make sure my flow's right
Never falling off, Not scared of no heights
No one knows my story or my pain so please let me explain
This is no where near a game
If you judged me and I were you, I would be ashamed
Just because I was poor, I came back and shined
Now I'm flyer than a plane
I'm still working my way to the top, I'm always praying to God
That this won't ever have to stop
I just make a couple bills and get a couple checks
Murder instrumentals, Lay all these other MC's to rest
I'm a great, I'm a legend. I swear I'ma be the best
So you know my time is next
Man I swear I never flex
Chorus
I just want to be good, I don't want to be bad
I just want to make them proud, I just want to make them proud
Get my fam out the hood, Don't want to be like my dad
I just want to make them proud, I just want to make them proud
I just want to be good, I don't want to be bad
I just want to make them proud, I just want to make them proud
Get my fam out the hood, Don't want to be like my dad
I just want to make them proud, I just want to make them proud
