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
ooooooo, i'll 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 with temptation in your face
crooks in designer suits make crime seem like the only way

i stop and i think i am wasting my time
trying to hold this thing together
i could be so many things
but whatever happens next i'll keep my self respect and my pride

pride
saves you from a fall
standing strong and tall
you deserve it all... ooh

i could have bowed my head
i could have given in
i could have bought a needle and pushed it in 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 my self respect and my pride

chorus

aaaaah mama mia, i feel to shed a tear, when i think of all the hard done by that i done did get
i with the power of nature to bear to the world a new life to my man his first born heir
am hoarding hell is this life my last psudinim is miss try a ting that's the only way that i'm a win
that as my motto mixed with my mighty pride i move soul II soul hand by hand side by side
wit my sistren extended kin sing (cough cough) 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
i could be so many things
but whatever happens next i'll keep my self respect and my pride

chorus
