Emphatic Pride
I may get drunk every once in awhile
I may raise hell, that's just my style
I work hard everyday, make them rich I don't complain
While they sail their boats and they fly their jets
They can break us down but we ain't broke yet
Pay attention, or you'll miss this
You're my witness, are you listening?
You can take my house, I don't need it
Take my ride, you can keep it
But I'm alive and I'm still breathing
You can't take away my pride
We ain't alone, it's easy to hide
Life ain't fair, but we ain't gonna die
You can wait for change or hold your breath
You can waste your time but we ain't dead yet
They can race their cars, they can place their bets
They can break us down but we ain't broke yet
Pay attention or you'll miss this
You're my witness, are you listening?
You can take my house, I don't need it
Take my ride, you can keep it
But I'm alive and I'm still breathing
You can't take away my pride
I ain't breaking, I ain't bleeding
I ain't wasting another minute
I've been praying, I ain't shaking
You can't take away my pride
You only lose when you stop believing
I got my friends and we ain't leaving
You can take my house, I don't need it
Take my ride, you can keep it
But I'm alive and I'm still breathing
You can't take away my pride
I ain't breaking, I ain't bleeding
I ain't wasting another minute
I've been praying, I ain't shaking
You can't take away my pride
You can take my house, I don't need it
Take my ride, you can keep it
Everything's going to be alright, my pride
