lyrics

Introduction:

"It's Row holding it down on 106 OGT Radio. I got a dope new track from the homie Poe, shout out Organized Threat. I swear this boy just does it all. If he's not filming, editing, or directing, he's making dope music like this track right here. I want you to turn it up for this exclusive world premiere, it's called "Pride of My People". Come on!" - Row Dayanghirang (106KMEL Radio)

[Verse One]

I remember living off of Little Caesar's pepperonis
And the bread sticks
Would always feed the hunger at night
And as a youth I always wanted more for my life
Was caught up in the fortune and fame
Now who could blame him
My momma moved us out of LA
And out to Riverside
I spent a couple years in private school
Within the neighborhood
It's funny how it happened
Too many gangstas on the sidewalk
Our mothers prayed to god
But even Jesus couldn't save us
The pride of my people

[Verse Two]

The corner block blues was never stopping him
See I hate to sound redundant
But I'll dumb it down for some of those around me
And I remember reading history lessons about the 60s
So as far as I'm concerned
Niggas suffer with democracy
Battle with words
Their truth stays curving my true potential
Some of yall won't see it til I'm dead in the dirt
And thinking back on what it was
I dated misery
Was probably too addicted to Malcolm(X)
To ever blossom in the industry
Travel with caution
My triple visual's awoken
Never dormant
For that H.I.P.H.O.P.
So what's the issue
You niggas too concerned with being famous
All up on your instagrams begging for attention
You was begging for a mention
I couldn't spare it
Conversations with the spirit
Got me thinking higher of self
So now my purpose on this earth is liberation
For the centuries of damage that was done
To my people in this nation
The pride of my people

[Verse Three: Sleep Sinatra]

Tone like he spoke arabic
A cold narrative
Used to open the dungeon doors
For more impairment
Beast hit the circle
Lights flashin
Negus scatter
We fell prey to reconstruction
Its disaster
These hidden factors
Are in control of your mind
Let this opus shine
Open up your soul over time
Still crack a 40 in the same nieghborhood
i survived
Saw an old friend yesterday with pain in his eyes
This life's real
