Shalco - Peride Lyrics

"We are Persian son you should be proud, you should be proud."
"We had an empire, we HAD an empire"
"Two thousand years ago we had an empire, right now it's being remodelled"
That's pride
That's pride (Love me)
That's on pride (Love you)
That's pride
That's on pride
Growing up here every Persian person tell you the same thing
You run from your nationality it gon' find you
Be proud of who you are but remember you're lucky
That you're not around more people that looking like you
Be proud yeah but no no don't trust your own kind
The girls are spoiled and the boys are all on dope right
Outside the library coked up 'till the nose white
Talking shit to each other yeah talking shit for the whole night
Ain't no fight
Like are you man enough to sniff up both lines
Are you man enough? jump off this bridge with me bro let's nose dive
Are you man enough to end it, make the noose grip the rope tight
Around your neck it choke right, I'll kick your chair your soul fly
Congratulations on leaving and welcome to the club then
They talking to my mom and they're like damn you got some luck man
Now I don't mean to be nosey
Please don't get upset but,
I don't mean to pry
But is your son on drugs yet
Who's your daughter hanging out with who's the biggest suspect
Go and check her phone then check her hymen has she fucked yet
Tough shit, nah nah, nah please don't change the subject
That's pride
That's pride (Love me)
That's on pride (Love you)
That's pride
That's on pride
I know that look in her eyes while she staring at my face
I know she don't see me she just see a charity case
Yeah the trophy boyfriend you can show off to your friends
I'm embarrassed if I'm me, I'm embarrassed if I change
I'm embarrassed to be sad, I'm embarrassed of my pain
Look at what your parents sacrificed, you should be ashamed
So much fucking guilt I got only me to blame
Fifth grade me on Google like "how to change your name"
Telling my teacher "please don't call me Sina just call me Jay"
We ain't the same this your home, for me this is where I stay
I was fresh off the boat now I'm fresh off a perky
I'm hyping myself up seeing how much I can hurt me
I put my hand against the candle how long 'till it burn me
How long 'till I'm white, until I'm no longer dirty
How long
Someone tell me how long
Someone tell me how long
Until I can accept the baggage
That comes with moving and wreckage
That I'm not just a percentage
That I'm not someone to manage
I'm not broken bruised or damaged
Not to be sold in a package
I'm me I'm a fucking menace
I'm me and that's all that matters
That's pride
That's pride (Love me)
That's on pride (Love you)
That's pride
That's on pride
