Ash Shakur - Proud Lyrics

"Take pride in you
When only you acknowledge you
Yea

Be proud of you
Cause only you acknowledge you
Man

Take pride in you when only you acknowledge you
Man

Be proud of you
Yea
Be proud of you"

Running away
Feel like I'm running away
From the people that want me to stay

Stuck in my ways
Feel like I just can not change
I ain't saying it's nothing to change

I know it's me
I know that I got some issues
That rest deep inside of myself
But ima keep climbing
I overpower all my weaknesses
That's why I'm proud of myself

Yea I'm proud of myself
I'm proud of myself

For everything I ever overcame
I'll acknowledge myself

I'm proud of myself
I can say that I'm proud of myself

Cause even back when
It was all they did
I never doubted myself

Doubted myself

I'm in a vibe
They don't wanna see ya strive
This for who come see me live

This for who see me in person
And tell me keep working
Don't ever let up on ya grind
Man you got a job to do

Cause it ain't a lot like you
Around where we come from
Don't think we ain't proud of you
Man I can not move with no motive
How can I flop when I'm focus

I can not drop without focus
I need everybody here watching
To notice

It feel like I been through the worst
I whisper to God and he showed me
That it don't matter what I'm up against
The only plan is him guiding me through it
You gotta be crazy
Think ima let niggas
Drive me off my square man
I been on the rise over y'all niggas lately

Been in a mob with my
Young niggas lately

Bending them corners
Ain't driving Mercedes

Got mine out the mud
Peep the shine that I gave
To this diamond
I'm droppin these jewels
In the fountain of youth
You can't amount to the dude
You minute
I'm a mountain to you
"Oooo"

The very thing
That could change your life is
The very same thing that'll
Take your mind
Yea

People say that I should take my time
But inside I feel that I can't really Waste no time
Yea

Take pride in you when only
You acknowledge you
Yea
(Take pride in you)

Be proud of you when only
You acknowledge you
Yea
(Be proud of you)

Just follow through
Make these niggas follow you
Yea
(Just follow through yea)

They'll follow you
Yea

They'll follow you...

"See man you gotta be proud of you
Even when it seem like
Nobody else is man

And the question ain't why
It's why not?

Be your journey
Be what you believe and
You're free eternally
I am what I am
I am what I think
I know who I am
My nigga
And I'm proud of me"
