PRIDEFUL II

(album: MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES - 2022)

Prideful, prideful, prideful
Yeah, uh

Like, what you getting into?
You say I only hit you up when I got nothing to do (Nothing to do)
I say it's pride 'cause I ain't hit you when you wanted me to
Ain't no reply, I call a ride when you tell me, "Come through" (Come through, come through, come through)
Like, you will never know the pain that you getting me through
So you can tell me it's the same and you missing me, too

Switching lanes running light just tryna slide through
When the flames in my eyes, it's nothing like you
Thirsty to hit you up
Thirsty to hit some' new, said the industry ate you up
'Cause you cushion my ego and tell me no nigga fuck
It'd be respectful if he did and tell her, "Keep it on the hush"
'Cause I'm the one that gave you traction every time that you got stuck
Guess your memory got crushed, forgot I showed up in the clutch
Now you up and in your zone
When I came from the area, you was gone
Full of thoughts 'til you up in this empty home
I just consider that alone, woah
I think that I been giving to much credit to myself for always saying I put you on
I'm sure you would've made it on your own
And now I'm texting all these randoms in my phone
Like, what you getting into? I guess the cycle must go on
Like, let me pass hurt along, another shorty I do wrong, uh
Know I'm bitter, you can hear it in my tone
I need to leave that shit alone, put it in this song

Ain't no reply, I call a ride when you tell me, "Come through"
Like, you will never know the pain that you getting me through
So you can tell me it's the same and you missing me, too

Seen a picture then slid
Told me her name was Tiz
Told me how she a scholar but don't got love for the biz
Do you fuck with the kid? When you see me, it's just a gig
Loneliness that I hid, so, shit, it is what it is
'Cause we was just playing roles, don't be breaking the code
Tell me you catching feelings, like, please say it ain't so
I just went through your mutuals, tryna see who you know
Oh, you follow my ex? It must be messy on the low
I ignore the red flags and smoke alarms when they go off
Open to my sickness, said she like it how I'm closed off
You was just my pause, I'm seeing truth, I'm tryna prolong
Days been getting so long, catch you 'fore you doze off

Like, what you getting into?
You say I only hit you up when I got nothing to do
I say it's pride 'cause I ain't hit you when you wanted me to
Ain't no reply, I call a ride when you tell me, "Come through"
Like, you will never know the pain that you getting me through
So you can tell me it's the same and you missing me, too

Oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
