Soul II Soul - Pride Lyrics

One, two, sess coming through
With the rude lyrics and the pride to fit
I ain't the counterfeit chic, renk up rhythm to rhatid
With my girl Charlotte now can you handle it

Ooh, hear it, damage, feel it
Positive energies embrace the cue
One, two, let the girl through

This game of life ain't easy, Lord knows sometimes it's rough
'Cause everyday we struggle and never get enough
It's hard to hold it down, temptation in your face
Crooks in designer suits make crime seem like the only way

I stop and I think am I wasting my time?
Trying to hold this thing together
I could be so many things but whatever happens next
I'll keep myself respect and my pride

Pride
Saves you from a fall
Only one way to love yourself
Standing strong and tall

Pride
You deserve it all
Only one way to love yourself

I could have bowed my head
I could have given in
I could have bought a needle
And pushed it to my skin

Thinking of all the pressures
I could have lost control
I could have sold my body
My mind, my soul

I stop and I think of generations of pain
Did they all die in vain?
I could be so many things but whatever happens next
I'll keep myself respect and my pride

Pride
Saves you from a fall
Only one way to love yourself
Standing strong and tall

Pride
You deserve it all
Only one way to love yourself

Ah, mama mia, I feel to shed a tear
When I think of all the hard done time that I done to get
I with the power of nature to bear to the world
A new life to my man his first born heir

I'm more than hell is this life my last pseudonym is
Miss, try a thing that's the only way that I'ma win
That as my motto mixed with my mighty pride
I move soul I I soul hand by hand, side by side

With my sistren extended kin sing
Keep on moving and don't stop
Do you get the gist of the linguistic
That I kick

I'm the chic with the hips and the lips to make you coo, coo
And go goo, goo for my swagger original rude girl of rap
Don't need no sugar da, da, all I need is my pride and self respect
And my microphone I'm cash in the dollars and catch wreck
I got my pride

I stop and I think of generations of pain
Did they all die in vain?
And I could be so many things but whatever happens next
I'll keep myself respect and my pride

Pride
Saves you from a fall
Only one way to love yourself
Standing strong and tall

Pride
You deserve it all
Only one way to love yourself

Pride
Saves you from a fall
Standing strong and tall
Pride
You deserve it all

Pride
Saves you from a fall
Standing strong and tall
Pride
You deserve it all

Pride
Saves you from a fall
