Me: I’ve always been creative, I don’t understand Aspired to be an artist, not a business man!
Pride: You need to show your old man you’re in control To be successful you’d sell your own soul!
Me: I’ve always been respectable, I don’t understand I tried to be compassionate, I’m not a ruthless man!
Pride: You need to show them you’re superior, you lead the field No one opposes you, all men must yield!
Me: I’ve always been affectionate, I don’t understand I really love her, I’m not a heartless man!
Pride: You have no time for commitments, they get in the way Get down to business, there’s no time to play!
Reason: You can still change, and right what is wrong Pride: But can you swallow me, am I too strong? Reason: You have to get back now, it’s not too late Pride: It’s not like you to resign to your fate Reason: Your loved ones are waiting, break out of your cage Pride: You have the power, give into your rage Reason: Listen to pride now for once he is right Pride: Listen to reason, let us be your guide
Have you ever seen a man stumble and fallen all due to his pride I don′t want to be another one fallen due to my pride
Woah
Take my pride away, pride away Take my pride away, pride away Take my pride away
Lord keep me only focused on You Make me a humble man Don′t ever let me take the credit For all that you have done
Woah
Take my pride away, pride away Take my pride away, pride away Take my pride away
Away
Standing here amidst this point of definition Pushing for position as I battle opposition Am I on a mission or is it all in vain Do you notice the difference or is it all the same And who do I blame when my vision gets blurry I Get in a hurry frustrated and feeling fury Faith is enduring to stand the test of time Answers are plain we hard to define But pull from divine when problems arise But my pride denies and my stand never survies In every one of our lives in every single day We need to lay down our pride as God takes it away
Take it. break it. rape it. forsake it In time you will Find it. maim it. thrill it and shame it In time you will Steal my pride Leave me blind Steal my pride
Take it. break it. rape it. forsake it. Take it. break it. rape it. forsake it. In time you will Find me. maim me. thrill me and shame me. In time you will
Steal my pride Leave me blind Steal my pride And leave me blind, blind, blind now. Leave me blind, blind, blind now.
I am silence sent to find you I am violence sent to find you I am silence sent to find you I am violence sent to fuck you up
Take me and break me. rape me. forsake me. In time you will Find me and maim me and thrill me and shame me In time you will Hate me. hate me. hate me. hate me. Well now kill me. kill me. kill me. kill me.
Steal my pride Leave me blind Steal my pride And leave me blind, blind, blind now. Leave me blind, blind, blind now
I′m on a mission I made my decision To lead a path of self destruction A slow progression Killing my complexion And it′s rotting out my teeth I′m on a roll No self comtrol I′m blowing off steam with methamphetamine Don′t know what I want That′s all that I′ve got And I′m picking scabs off my face Every hour my blood is turning sour And my pulse is beating out of time I found a treasure filled with sick pleasure And it sits on a thin white line I′m on a mission I got no decision Like a cripple running the rat race Wish in one hand shit in the other And see which one gets filled first
One man come in the name of love One man come and go One man come, he to justify One man to overthrow
In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence One man he resist One man washed on an empty beach. One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love
(nobody like you...)
Early morning, April 4 Shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free at last, they took your life They could not take your pride
In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love...
