To My Pride

Dear pride,
i need you
i wouldnt trade you for anything (that's been true)
they said you're my greatest weakness (impossible)

standard deviations above the above average
who dick boast whilst comparatively impotent
its infinite - my potential
limits approach infinity
inverse parabolic along
axis of symmetry that divide
real pride from that of fools

Cause having you is what pulled me thru
the obstacles i've been dealt
which is why i aint ever played myself
instead i've doubled-up
niggas have the nerve to brag loud
my lips sealed, walk with my chest out
why converse when i live what they merely chirp about

and it's without a doubt
that having you retains focus
like light on fovea,
genetic codes on locus
no wonder you're indispensable
evolutionarily superior so without you
i'd be hope-less
-ly similar to those that imitate me
who themselves are inferior
like convex lenses to myopic eyes
useless - like seeing a picture of money
when you keep on your grind
my money is like my time
i'm too proud to be wasteful
won't get to swallowing cause
compromise is distasteful
