PROUD OF ME.

(album: Road to CASABLANCO. - 2023)

I know that you're proud of me, mmm
Did some things I won't believe, yeah
Look what we became, oh
I know that you're proud of me, yeah, yeah

Aye, black Dickies suited, I'm renting out Maggianos
Legwork, but up top, I'm still heavy as Johnny Bravo
I know Yano know me better now, and Wallo know we legend-bound
Broke a couple records, bought some ice to keep the swelling down
I'm selling now, been a mess, blame it on the internet
I'm platinum in some countries I ain't visit yet, who did it best?
Oh, how missed a step? Double check that bet I put
Parley'd every set up good, did everything I said I would, yeah
I cried on my birthday, and, yes, I'm proud of that
I lived long enough to trap and see the other side of that
I lived long enough to have a child attached
I lived long enough to see them try to bring them patent leather Pradas back
I switched and brought the bottom back, I'm rich and this my momma bag
Bitches, it's no gulag in that, you lose me, you can't buy me back
I put that on my body bag, hold them to them statements, 'cause they proud of me
Shit, I knew that, but show me, don't just say it, I know

I know that you're proud of me, mmm
Did some things I won't believe, oh
Look what we became, oh
I know that you're proud of me, mmm

I mean, I mean
I done struggled through some long days, wrong ways
Fighting through my strong phase
Wi-Fi for the iPod when them songs ain't get my phone paid
Like one day it'll make sense, summers in the basement
Till Donna gotta go and pick her son up from the station
Now I'm back for the weekend, I could squeeze y'all in
I used to sleep inside them lots, I park my dream car in
I used to sling outside that block, we saw police cars, and hopped the fence
Try gentrify that shit I know my city monuments
My shorty split when I was threading them patches
I left some tears inside the bedding and mattress
Just me shedding my fabric
I took them steps, but can't reflect on what happened
You live your life through a mirror, then you'll do everything backwards
I told my dad, if I get rich, he'll never work at all
Day before he died, he told me, "Son, what you stop working for?"
Deon keep on telling to splurge, 'cause I deserve it all
So I just bought two Rollies for them times I wish you heard me, dog, like I know that you

I know that you're proud of me
Did some things I won't believe, oh
Look what we became, oh
I know that you're proud of me, mmm

Now it's gold plaques on the wall for me
Turned my whole life around, it was dark for me
Now my baby got my heart again, and I woke up on the charts again, it's all good now

I know that you're proud of me
Did some things I won't believe, oh
Look what we became, oh
I know that you're proud of me

Proud
Proud
Proud
Proud
