Every time I decide to swallow my pride (swallow)
You remind me I shouldn't be nice (every time)
I'm embarrassed I treated you right (treated you right)
Got me clutching back onto my pride
So every time someone good comes into my life
You're the reason that they gotta fight
Twice as hard just to break through the ice

And I know it's all mine
Working on my own time, healing on my own time
And I know you're all fine
Cause I took the fall
I hope you never call
I hope you're losing your mind
It's the least you could do
Yeah I hope you’re losing your mind
It’s the least you could do

(Pride is the only thing we got)
Every time I let somebody treat me a way
When it's just me and the egg on my face (every time)
I run through all of the moments I caved
When I shoulda put you in your place
It's a shame I feel stupid for giving you grace
Now I treat everybody the same
And you're rewarded for bringing me pain

And I know it's all mine
(Pride is the only thing we got)
Working on my own time, healing on my own time
(I said pride is the only thing we got)
And I know you're all fine
(Pride is the only thing we got)
Cause I took the fall
(I said pride is the only thing we got)
I hope you never call
I hope you're losing your mind
(Pride is the only thing we got)
It's the least you could do
(I said pride is the only thing we got)
Yeah I hope you’re losing your mind
(Pride, pride)
It’s the least you could do
(Pride is the only thing we got)

Still, I did my best to be conscious and treat you civil
I was so committed to meeting you in the middle
Now I'm walking round with my energy on a swivel
Now you just gon' get what you gimme, I make it simple
Still, I did my best to be conscious
You played me like a fool
You made me realize my pride should never drop for somebody like you
(Now you just gon’ get what you gimme)
(Now you just gon’ get what you gimme)

Pride is the only thing we got
I been nice
Don’t you ever disrespect me in the spot or I’ll treat you like the motherfucking groupie that you are
Only time I’m dropping pride is when we putting out this song
Pride is the only thing we got, I been nice
Pride is the only thing we got, thing we got
Pride is the only thing we got, I been nice
Pride is the only thing we got, thing we got
