lyrics

I've had my share of failures I'm not ashamed to say, I've watched the rain begin to fall
I thought that I would never last another day, with no one there that I could call
But then I thought about my tribe
The ones who stood despite it all
They toiled the land and with the blood stains in the hands, upon their shoulders I stand Tall

I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my Pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride

I've missed the memories created everyday
The young ones grow-up far away
A sacrifice of time cannot be made in vein
Not with the many nights we prayer

But then I think about my tribe
The ones who toiled both day and night
Now as they rest I have the strength to pass this test
I will not be discouraged, I will not be distressed

I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my Pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride

The days can seem so long without an end
At times it's like I'm here without a friend
The stressful days and sleepless nights can wear the strongest down
But know that down within you, your tribe left you a crown

I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride
I've got my Pride
I've got my pride
I've got my pride
