Proud of Me - Troy Ave

I love the way you sway that shit, when I say that shit, you get crazy when the

DJ’s play my shit

I’m an independent rapper but I got them hits, until I make it mainstream then

I got them bricks

But baby we ain’t here to talk about drugs and truncheons

Itchin' from a dealer and a thug

I don’t want my fate being decided by no judge and I don’t want no fake niggas

saying bout how real I was

I ain’t here for that at all, I’m only here to ball and provide for my kids,

haters I ain’t stressin' yall

Cowards tried to kill me with a bullet they didn’t know I was blessed

Now I’m rollin' with armed securities and bulletproof vests

For the rest of my life I live in luxury

Gettin' money, praisin' God and staying sucka free

If you feel the same way then you fuck with me

Celebrating all my wins sippin' bubbly

Figured you’d be proud of me

Man I came from the mud and they label me a thug, and I’m still winnin'

(figured you’d be proud me)

Ain’t nobody wanna' help, so I did it by myself, you could do the same (figured

you be proud of me)

Everytime you see me ballin' know I represent us all that’s a fact though

(figured you be proud of me)

Fresh outta jail, from a dorm in a dirty date room

Now there’s a pool in my backyard and my game room

They was playin' laughin' at it, dyin' in their own shame

Fake niggas never want a real one in the game

Ain’t nobody wanna help so I did it by myself

Ain’t contribute but they want me to distribute my wealth

I love sayin' «no,» nine windows, eagles wouldn’t let you outta my shirt you

for sure

The difference is I do it for them, that’s why I’m truer than them

They got diamonds but my stones shine bluer than them

I run a business while they run around the hood and chill

Waitin' on another million while they wait to be killed

It’s the harsh reality, why you mad at me?

I ain’t makin' moves,

I’m importin' em, candidly, when I made the news and was smitten

They wish me good riddance, made it out, the rebel 9−1-1, he the victim of the

media, circumstance and the right decisions

The atheist views went against my religion

I stand for somethin' I don’t fall for nothin'

They tried to trick me off the streets, now I’m black stuntin'

Figured you’d be proud

Figured you’d be proud of me

Man I came from the mud and they label me a thug, and I’m still winnin'

(figured you’d be proud me)

Ain’t nobody wanna' help, so I did it by myself, you could do the same (figured

you be proud of me)

Everytime you see me ballin' know I represent us all that’s a fact though

(figured you be proud of me)
