Proud of Me lyrics
by J. Stone
[Intro]
Yeah
Turn me up in the headphones a little bit
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Everywhere I go, n*ggas say they proud of me
I look back, I remember when n*ggas doubted me
Fast forward, back to success 'cause I asked for it
No crash course, bought a Benz, spent cash for it
Welcome to LA, to see the hood you gettin' taxed for it
Drive a Maybach, 160 on the dashboard
Need a stamp on every page in my passport
I ran my laps, I stopped asking for support
Only choice is rap, sell crack, I passed up on sports
Ran lap after lap, they had to pass me the torch
Been to jail half my lifе, going back and forth to court
I was taking short cuts, end up getting cut short, n*gga
[Interlude]
I'm grateful
Proud of mysеlf
If ain't nobody else proud for me, I'm proud of me
[Verse 2]
I ran my own laps, I rap my own raps
I'm proud of myself, I should pat my own back
Looking at buildings in my neighborhood like "I should own that"
While my heart is in the street, n*gga, cause that's where home at
I be packing out shows, they bring the crowd for a n*gga
You got too much pride to say you proud of me, n*gga
Watch you join the bandwagon, that ain't solid my n*gga
I remember them days when they doubted a n*gga
I remember them days they used to frown up on a n*gga
Once a prince, now a king, they put the crown on me n*gga
The plot is getting bigger, n*gga, we just getting richer
'Cause prior to this sh*t you wouldn't even get the picture, n*gga
