Shway - Pride Lyrics

Yeah, it takes a lot to say this but sometimes I hear the truth and hate it
Like how I'm broke and due some change and need for you to state it
Cause I won't acknowledge there's a problem, so once you do my prides inflated
I'm so defensive, I'm in the wrong and get aggressive
With my tone, I know you're showing your concern for me and our direction
Internally I feel offended, but in my head, I'll tell you I respect it
Cause I know you're right it's just my pride that tries to neglect it
I'm trynna correct it, I gotta get used to the feeling of being corrected
Accept that I'm lacking in virtue, and actually turn to, my God and connect
It's a way to get what I gotta and then stay in check
Like I've been persistently stubborn cause of how I slip up
Cover up my guilt with a shrug saying I'm just not enough
But, we'll get to that for now just please don't mention it
I tend to get a bid upset if you tell me I'm deficient
Even if it's...true, I'm really trynna change for you
Huh, but I'm so prideful, I'm prideful as ever
I take the weight of what I shouldn't but expect to get better
Huh, I can't deny tho I'm actually fed up
Cause it's when I think that I'm strong enough I'm left trynna get up
Huh
And I see how I'm flawed, I see my own weakness
I see how I need to be leaning on God, leaning on Jesus
Cause I continue to believe it's all on me
And try to take the cross from Christ and die instead of let Him set me free
Let Him set me free
If I die rejecting Christ's sacrifice for my life will I rest in peace
I need the grace, I'm insufficient, such an infant, so dependent
Every breath I takes a gift and I don't get it, cause I'm the one who is sinning
Yet Christ is willing to die, so that I can go on living and try for eternal life
I'm like why would I not just let go and give it all to the Christ
It's cause I struggle with not being sufficient for my own price
I lack the ability to pay the cost of my mistakes,
And so I'm lost without His grace, inside I long to see His face
Huh, inside I long to see His face, yuh, inside I long to see His face
I've got a lot I've gotta change like, I know my pride, selfishness, insecurities inside,
I need purity of mind, and still I hide, but I promise that I'm trying
I promise that I'm trying, I need God to kill my pride
Huh, yeah I need God to kill my pride, I've gotta give Him my whole life
Give Him every fight, huh, give Him every fight
