Proud Of Me Lyrics
I hope you proud of me
I'm probably not gon' be around when they acknowledge me
Drunk off success, I might just make a toast to poverty
You got too much niggas on your phone for you to bother me
I hope you proud of me
After all the shit I did, you don't acknowledge me (No)
I hope you proud of me
Drunk off success, I might just make a toast to poverty
Why you let these niggas play you?
I was gonna take you out the hood, I was tryna save you
Why you let these niggas change you?
So insecure, but you don't see it in her angles
[Post-Chorus]
Proud of me
I hope you proud of me
Proud of me
I hope you proud of me
[Verse]
Another price to pay
Put your hands behind your back, fuck you all types of ways
My dawg just took a risk, he threw his life away
When I got rich, I told that nigga throw that life away
I hope you proud of me
Got all this pain inside my cup, come take a shot for me
I know you doubted me
I feel no way, just know it's late to say (You proud of me)
'Cause you got way too many niggas that you fuck with
And I can't name too many niggas that I fuck with
I'm too wavy off this liquor, I can't function
I hope you proud of me
Put a smile on your face, you deserve it
Know you feel like you ain't worth it
I feel bad for all them niggas you be curvin'
You got a crown on your head 'cause you earned it
All I need is one shot, one chance, oh, to make you mine
Gotta give me one shot, one chance, oh, to make you mine
[Chorus]
I hope you proud of me
I'm probably not gon' be around when they acknowledge me
Drunk off success, I might just make a toast to poverty
You got too much niggas on your phone for you to bother me
I hope you proud of me
After all the shit I did, you don't acknowledge me
I hope you proud of me
Drunk off success, I might just make a toast to poverty
Why you let these niggas play you?
I was gonna take you out the hood, I was tryna save you
Why you let these niggas change you?
So insecure, but you don't see it in her angles
[Post-Chorus]
Proud of me
I hope you proud of me
Proud of me
I hope you proud of me
About
One thing that has always caught my attention about j.i is His ability to deliver bars consistently with melody. His rhyming ability is incredible to say the least, and that’s one of the many reasons it is easy to get attached to his music. Not only that, but he also has a certain style or swagger to him that gives off a genuine aura of understanding human emotion, while also having confidence to look past the pain and discomfort of life in this society. If you follow him on social media, you may know he gets personal with his fan base to share a mutual understanding of love and passion in music, life, and the journey that comes with being a successful young person in society today. This personally is my favorite song by him so far; the melody is on point, the story behind it is one I can relate to, and the vibes are just genuinely produced.
