Pride is what kills a man
Pride is sent by the ****** to cause injustice
I pray to those that never made it out alive
Cause of pride.
It’s instilled in us, its how we breathe
How we react, it’s apart of us
Pride… Pride comes between you and I
What leaves a eye black and blue
You still choose to seek violence in your actions.
Cause for what? Cause your manhood was tested?
What if you left this earth with the regret you have now?
You think pride will be there at your side?
No- pride is what’s in the back of your mind
Whispering in your ear
“He talked about your momma, you finna let that slide?”
“He touched your girls backside, you finna let that slide?”
Pride is the work of the devil
The corrupted man, easily manipulated
Filled with the devil’s anger
To let the world see that a man is no man.
Controlled by anger, fueled by rage
Pride is the monster that was left in a cage
Pride is what kills a man.
