paroles de chanson Proud of Myself - Yung Prophet

Yea
I can't sleep
So I'm up late
Took a drive I'm hitting 90 on the interstate
I'm in between the point of fading but I'm so awake
Doing everything I can to keep my foot off the brakes
I got a fifth of vodka in the bag
Seals been cracked and the roads all black
Yea
I don't know where I'm at but I don't really care and I ain't ever looking back nah
Speaking of the past I let it consume me then it stunted my growth
I was in the deep end for a little too long
No matter what I tried I could never keep afloat
But right in the moment when I thought it was over death got a little closer then I started to choke
But a part of me knew this ain't how I'm gonna go
I tried to quit once not again let's go
Yuh
No one can tell me I didn't become something greater no matter the odds up against me
The doubts I was fed it was never enough to inhibit my path of ascending
It's crazy to me that a flower that's planted to die in the shade
Could eventually grow in mysterious ways to reach for the sun and to take in its rays
Yuh
That's what it feels like
I see all the growth in me every day
It's incredible God gave another chance to me when I was so ready to throw it away
Was tired of pain
Tired of letting myself get betrayed
Discovered my purpose and try to persuade the people just like me that aren't okay
That it's gonna be okay
It's gonna be hard but having it easy won't get you too far
Look at the legends
Look at the greats
They all got something they all can relate
And they never made it by making excuses but rather the lessons they learned through the pain
Success ain't the pay
Success is a measure of distance from where you had started to how far you came
Aye
I'll say it again success ain't a wage
It's all about making a change
These people think buying Bugattis and silicon bodies are taken with them to the grave
Nah
I'm proud of myself cuz no matter the changes my goal is the same
I show you my failures instead of my triumphs cuz being perfection is lame and I ain't ashamed

I'm proud of myself
I'm proud of myself
If nobody else then I'm proud of myself
Proud of myself
I did it alone didn't need nobodies help
I'm proud of myself
If nobody else I'll be proud of myself
Be proud of myself

Yuh
I'm grateful for all that have doubted me
Who thought I'd start rapping then crack under pressure to make me feel lesser
And hoping one day I'd get out it eventually
But I ain't about it
What once was an empty cup turned to a fountain
And all of these haters take wins by the hill but they never could fathom the process of building a mountain
I'm dodging the deals
Ain't got a particular crowd I appeal
I don't expect anybody to kneel
In all of the fakes I would rather stay real
Real like I'm DAX
Real like I'm VinJay
Real like NF
Real like MGK
Real like I'm Witt
Real like I'm logic
Real like Macdonald we're all the rap prophets and no one can stop it
We put our hearts and our souls in the music
While others reach fame and abuse it
Honestly I never plan to be famous I write for the purpose the passion is so therapeutic
I don't care if they think that it's stupid shoutout the people that I went to school with
Who thought that I'd never get close
When your goals are consistent with scoring a dose
And thanks for the hate
It wouldn't be there if I wasn't that great
I'll let you think that it's pulling me down
But sadly for you I don't give it much weight
Look at me now I've been making my name
I don't do it for clout I don't do it for fame
That ain't what I'm about I'm just making a change
It's a matter of time that the throne and the kingdom are claimed I've been saying

I'm proud of myself
I'm proud of myself
If nobody else then I'm proud of myself
Proud of myself
I did it alone didn't need nobodies help
I'm proud of myself
If nobody else I'll be proud of myself
Be proud of myself
