Proud Lyrics by Dennis Hobbs

2022

Spent so much time just trying to be unstoppable
Sittin’ in the spot plottin’ how imma dodge these obstacles
When they off you ain’t much of a process on dropping you
Getting shit done but they don’t care if you got a lot to do
Even as a kid I was always hearing “I’m proud of you”
But what if that don’t got much meaning if you blow it all
Gotta fix it cause I know my spending been on overhaul
Who exactly am I to pretend like I know it all…
But that’s my way of trying to keep you proud
And what I don’t know I’ll learn now
Won’t take me long to figure it out (figure it out)
My biggest fear of all is letting somebody down (body down)
Learning how to triumph through these different trials (different trials)
But that’s my way of trying to keep you proud
And what I don’t know I’ll lеarn now
Won’t take me long to figure it out (figurе it out)
My biggest fear of all is letting somebody down (body down)
Learning how to triumph through these different trials (different trials)
Spent so much time saying I got past the rough shit
Knowing that through me doing that it was still some fuck shit
Few sprinkles of good but still some interruptions
But I’m here to talk about it so I guess I should be a-
Ppreciative that I leveled up and got accustomed
And that the people I got around still love me
But imma still discuss the good bad and the ugly
Cause I can’t be pretending that certain shit ain’t above me
But that’s my way of trying to keep you proud
Lemme take a second as I have been to explore my mental
Lot of thoughts that cross my mind some coincidental
Maybe I just shouldn’t give a damn, it could be all so simple
Maybe it’s the bad things that get me through these instrumentals
Been hard to express myself but God be sending signals
And I know that they be loud when I be stuck on what I didn’t do
But shiiiiiiiiit everybody standards different when it comes to potential
So what’s the point of my face glued to the screen like a kid with a kindle
What’s the point of me stating that I’m just misunderstood
So if I overstated that I’m guessing that part’s on me
But I don’t let it hinder ability to speak out on my needs
To dot my i’s and cross my t’s and keep people up to speed
Not everybody gives a fuck that you feel more relieved
Or what you might’ve achieved
Or that over time you feel more complete
If you comparing yourself to somebody else that been did it - the first step you won’t leave (and that shit old)
My therapist told me to reach out more but sometimes you gotta put your arms in your sleeves (cause this shit cold)
Ain’t heard from you in months and I’m done asking if you good cause I assume if you can read you can breathe (hope that hit home)
Good memories always hit the deepest
The matriarch on my pop’s side of the family gone so when it comes to “loving memories” I ain’t eager
I’m just tryna be able to say I ain’t fumble
I be so off the grid I’m wondering who sending bat signals to people I ain’t heard from in years to ask me for money
I’m talking about people so far out of touch they gotta dig through the crates and go through 10 people they might have been closer to that stay with it on ‘em
I know I brought up therapy a couple times but I just wish it wasn’t frowned upon in families
Cause that “man up” shit y’all be on gon’ make a lot of us crumble
But that’s my way of trying to keep you proud
And what I don’t know I’ll learn now
Won’t take me long to figure it out
My biggest fear of all is letting somebody down
