Pride (feat. Grim Steez)

by Mantra Sounds

/

about

This song started off as a layered guitar sample that my friend John Soderlund (Ecliptics) recorded that I made into a beat later that night. The lyrics and song were written separately before I intended on choosing it to fill the role for “Pride”, but it naturally found its way into the setting. The song was originally named “The Last Supper WIP” because as I was putting it together, I kept picturing someone going about their business sitting at a large busy table, unable to care about the commotion surrounding them. Although it is a very minimalistic track, I believe that the self confidence and ego that come with “Pride” shows through the eerie stillness of the song complimented by the echoed/delayed vocals, to show how prideful people only hear themselves talk.

lyrics

Your blood on my lips
Is the deepest of reds
I put the pencil to the paper
With the darkest of leads
You’re not welcome in my palace
Cause it’s off with your head
I got bags under my eyes
Bitch, I’ll sleep when I’m dead
And I don’t ever listen
Cause it’s fuck what you said
And everytime you eat
You never ask if I’m fed
But I don’t need a cut
That’s why I break my own bread
It’s a table full of heads
I'll sit by myself instead

Paint a picture in my mind
I call it abstract art
The page is looking blank
Let's rip this chapter apart
Wolves travel in packs
The lone lives to outsmart
I may show my face
But I don’t want no parts

Nah I don’t want no parts
I don’t want no parts
Man fuck your part
You’re just playing the part

Your blood on my lips
Is the deepest of reds
I put the pencil to the paper
With the darkest of leads
You’re not welcome in my palace
Cause it’s off with your head
I got bags under my eyes
Bitch, I’ll sleep when I’m dead
And I don’t ever listen
Cause it’s fuck what you said
And everytime you eat
You never ask if I’m fed
But I don’t need a cut
That’s why I break my own bread
It’s a table full of heads
I'll sit by myself instead
