I may get drunk every once in awhile

I may raise hell, that’s just my style

I work hard everyday

I make them rich, I don’t complain

While they sail their boats and they fly their jets

They can break us down, but we ain’t broke yet

Pay attention or you’ll miss this

You’re my witness. Are you listenin'?

You can take my house, I don’t need it

Take my ride, you can keep it

But I’m alive and I’m still breathing

You can’t take away my pride

You can take my house, I don’t need it

Take my ride, you can keep it

But I’m alive and I’m still breathing

You can’t take away my pride

Yeah, yeah, yeah

We ain’t alone, it’s easy to hide

Life ain’t fair, but we ain’t gonna die

You can wait for change, you can hold your breath

You can waste your time, but we ain’t dead yet

They can race their cars, they can place their bets

They can break us down, but we ain’t broke yet

Pay attention or you’ll miss this

You’re my witness. Are you listenin'?

You can take my house, I don’t need it

Take my ride, you can keep it

But I’m alive and I’m still breathing

You can’t take away my pride

You can take my house, I don’t need it

Take my ride, you can keep it

But I’m alive and I’m still breathing

You can’t take away my pride

I ain’t breakin', I ain’t bleedin'

I ain’t wastin' another minute

I’ve been prayin', I ain’t shakin'

You can’t take away my pride

You only lose when you stop believin'

I got my friends and we ain’t leavin'

You can take my house, I don’t need it

Take my ride, you can keep it

But I’m alive and I’m still breathing

You can’t take away my pride

I ain’t breakin', I ain’t bleedin'

I ain’t wastin' another minute

I’ve been prayin', I ain’t shakin'

You can’t take away my pride

You can take my house, I don’t need it

Take my ride, you can keep it (and you can take my ride)

Everything's gonna be alright, my pride
