Joezy - Pride (Take Me)

Pride goes before destruction
A haughty spirit before a fall
Proverbs 16:18
La da da da
La da da da
La da
Take me with you
I want to go
To a place where I can be free
Take me with you
I want to go
To a place where I can be me
I loved the football field
The only place where to kill was celebrated
But still you smelled the love in the air
Only taken nothing was ever given out there, besides equipment of course
I loved the attention of sorts
See this was more than a sport
Sacrifice that few could afford
They say the boys will boys, but it separated the men
If you was hated by them
Then you were loved by the fans, and the coaches
I was focused and I was open to instruction
But someone stole away my loving and identity
Look how it rendered me, tender
Swipe right before eyes
I scratched and I climbed just to be told that I am denied
That will bruise up your pride
Why is me and woah to them
I can't hold it in
They poked a hole in it
Burst my bubble
Is it trouble that I miss the love and peace it brought
Reeking thoughts
Stenchy words
I heard I can't compete nomore
It hurts
You find peace in her
I found peace hitting opposition where it hurts
Why we ain't rehearse for the worst news we'd ever get
Paid my dues but still in debt
But ain't chose to stand and fret
Took my trials as Heaven sent
But lose love and second guess
Lord take this stress from my chest
Take me with you
I want to go
To a place where I can be free
Take me with you
I want to go
To a place where I can be me
Late for school cuz I tried to make a move with a girl I knew
But it went nowhere
Tay was with me being just as guilty
Barely had enough to pay bus fare, hey oh well
I think it was R12 we was riding on
Who knew when I stepped off the bus my pride be gone
Tay older brother friends also got aboard
They was with the Wild literally they was Wild Boys
He asked to hear my gogo so I let him hold my iPod
Thought mutual friend meant I was safe boy was I wrong
He said this is me
I said you got me messed up
He said if you fight just know it's you against us
Was this worth getting jump
And Tay won't help he's a punk
I thought hard don't rock but when we got to my stop
I stopped and thought
What will be the plot if little ole me fought this grown group of three
And I was only 14
I accepted defeat
Got off the bus untouched but felt like a punk
The pain of not having pride had to be worse then getting jump
Now I gotta prove I'm no chump
So if a dude look too long must mean he wants to get slumped
And if they party to close must mean they think that I'm sweet
Now led by pride cuz of previous three
Can I go back to a peace when I ain't proving I'm street, or macho
Just can't go like that Joe
Never again will I go like that no
Can't go like that no
Take me with you
I want to go
To a place where I can be free
Take me with you
I want to go
To a place where I can be me
Take me there
I wanna go there
Take me there
I wanna go
Take me to that...place where I can be
Take me there
I wanna go there
Take me there
I wanna go
Take me to that...place where I can be
