Proud of Me

(Nothing to love, only my flaws, yeah)

Turn me up, you gon' hear me on the radio
Turn me on, you gon' see me on the TV show
Either way it go, I figured that I'd let you know
That you gon' get yours

Don't you lie to me
I know you're proud of me
Don't you cry for me, yeah
I know you're proud of me
That's how it gotta be
Yeah, 'cause you gon' get yours

I remember back in the day
People was treatin' me flawed
I gave my heart to the world and they turned they back
Was flippin' me off

I gave my all to the trenches
They wanted me behind walls
I had to choose bars and a cell or either put bars in a song
They didn't know I was gifted
People would stare at me wrong
I had a gift, so I talked to God, and He told me give it my all

They should've knew He was right all along
My heart cold, ain't no turnin' it on
But you turn on your TV or your radio for my songs

Turn me up, you gon' hear me on the radio
Turn me on, you gon' see me on the TV show
Either way it go, I figured that I'd let you know
That you gon' get yours

Don't you lie to me
I know you're proud of me
Don't you cry for me
Yeah, I know you're proud of me
That's how it gotta be
Yeah, 'cause you gon' get yours

I grew up from poverty, came to be a commodity
I know you proud of me
You should've knew I was destined, I talk to God
He said this what I ought to be

I'm a trench baby, life get crazy and they won't see it
If you just maybe have faith, baby, I can make you believe it
The walls was cavin' in, my only option was fend for myself
I had the world against me, I can't let the music be put on a shelf
The top callin', I'm all in, I know the labels be sick to death
Got so many songs for 'em, but I keep 'em all for my health

Turn me up, you gon' hear me on the radio
Turn me on, you gon' see me on the TV show
Either way it go, I figured that I'd let you know
That you gon' get yours

Don't you lie to me
I know you're proud of me
Don't you cry for me, yeah (cry for me)
I know you're proud of me
That's how it's gotta be
Yeah, 'cause you gon' get yours (you gon' get yours, wish i could)

'Cause you gon' get yours
I know you're proud of me
That's how it's gotta be
'Cause you gon' get yours
