conway the machine - proud of me lyrics

[intro]
uh, just wanted you to be proud of me
yeah, you told me you was down for me
uh, i just wanted you to be proud of me, yeah

[verse 1]
uh, why these n-ggas always lookin’ for me to throw ’em somethin’?
why people keep thinkin’ that i owe ’em somethin’? (what i owe you?)
why n-ggas keep lookin’ for a hand out (huh?)
when they ain’t do nothin’ to help this sh-t pan out? (what you did n-gga?)
i was just like you n-gga, i was hurtin’
only thing i did differently was put the work in (i’m on my grind)
i don’t know why you feelin’ so ent-tled
when i ain’t have no money to eat, i couldn’t find you (where was you?)
n-ggas ain’t real when they always remind you
you mad ’cause you ask for a favor and i declined you (that’s wild)
that sh-t is weak, n-gga
you ain’t dial my number in weeks, n-gga
everybody food, i gotta eat, n-gga (i gotta eat n-gga)
when the last time you call to see if n-ggas was good, if n-ggas ate?
that fake love sh-t i hate
that kind of sh-t i can’t relate, all you do is take
i thought you wanted me to be great, huh?

[chorus]
i thought you was proud of me
(i just wanted you to be proud of me)
i thought you was proud?
(just wanted to you to be proud of me)
uh, i wanted you to be proud of me
(just wanted you to be proud of me)
i ain’t never ask for sh-t
(just wanted to you to be proud)
yeah, you told me you was down for me, uh
(i just wanted you to be proud of me
i just wanted to you to be proud)
i just wanted you to be proud man
uh, i just wanted you to be proud of me
(i just wanted you to be proud of me
i just wanted to you to be proud of me)
uh, uh

[verse 2]
and deep down i know you care for me (i know you care)
but mentally i needed you there for me (you wasn’t there)
you ain’t got that much love for me apparently
you talk down on me front of my son and embarr-ss me (that’s f-cked up)
yeah, i still remember what you said
“n-gga, you over 30, all that rappin’ sh-t is dead (huh?)
you need to go find you job and get you some bread
ain’t you tired of bein’ broke and sleepin’ at dread’s?”
that sh-t stung me, i let it get to my head (yeah)
wanted to quit rappin’, but i went harder instead (i turned it up)
fast forward a year, now i’m hot in the streets (you seein’ me?)
i got my deal, i came through with red bottoms for ya feet (i came through first)
made sure you was good first, left racks on the table (facts)
for all the times i wasn’t able (uh huh)
ain’t throwin’ it in ya face or tryin’ to play you
’cause truth be told you probably did more for me
i can never repay you, but

[chorus]
i thought you was proud of me
yeah, you did more for me
(i just wanted you to be proud of me
i just wanted to you to be proud of me)
let’s keep it a buck
i just wanted you to be proud of me, i’ll never forget that
(i just wanted you to be proud of me
i just wanted to you to be proud)
yeah, you told me you was down for me
(i just wanted you to be proud of me
i just wanted to you to be proud)
no matter how much money, no matter what i accomplish
uh, i just wanted you to be proud of me
(i just wanted you to be proud of me)
i wanted y’all to be proud of me
(i just wanted to you to be proud of me)
yeah…

[outro]
you know this sh-t for you
this sh-t for y’all, this sh-t for my family
for my kids, n-gga
yaknahimsayin’? for my n-ggas, for my brothers, yaknahmean?
more life, more livin’
more success, n-gga, yaknahmean?
