Foolish Pride

[Intro: Eminem & Manix]

Yo man, yo Marsh, man

Yo, you've been kickin' all this shit about yourself

What of the homies, man?

Oh you want one about the posse? Alright

[Chorus: Eminem]

Ole foolish pride, oh, oh, oh, ole foolish pride

Oh, oh, oh, ole foolish pride, oh, oh, oh, ole foolish pride

[Verse: Eminem]

Well, foolish pride has a lot of things to say

You got foolish pride, like you got tooth decay

But tooth decay is another problem

So let's take this ole foolish pride problem and solve it

Now, when I talk about foolish pride

I mean blacks and whites taking different sides

When blacks and whites take different sides

Unity never happens, and we will subside

We will subside and hatred will release

And everything will just crush that peace

But when we crush that peace, you see we start hatin' each other

But remember, you are my brother, and you are my sister

Just like I'm a mister

I seen a black girlfriend and I kissed her

I kissed her, I placed it on her cheek

And she didn't come back 'til next week

Now it was next week and she was back again

Wanting to kiss a white kid

So she was my girlfriend, we started going out

But that's okay because we were black and white

Blacks and whites sometimes mix

But black girls only want your money 'cause they're dumb chicks

So I'ma say like this

Don't date a black girl, take it as a diss

If you want, but if you don't

I'ma tell you like this, I surely won't

Never date a black girl because blacks only want your money

And that shit ain't funny

So I'ma say, "Look, honey

Why do you do this?

You know, you step up to me like you a Brutus

Then you try to grab my spinach

Because it's green and that's cash

So get outta here, 'cause I don't need your ass"

I said that before, but that's okay because, like I said, you're a whore

Black girls and white girls just don't mix

Because black girls are dumb and white girls are good chicks

White girls are good, I like white girls

I like white girls all over the world

White girls are fine and they blow my mind

And that's why I'm here now telling you this rhyme

'Cause black girls, I really don't like

We don't mix, it's like riding a bike

When you're peddling hard, uphill both ways

You know it's kinda hard and that's why I say to you

I'm giving you a little advice

Don't date a black girl, if you do it once, you won't do it twice

You won't ever do it again because they'll take your money

And that ain't funny

So I'ma say, "Look, honey"

I've already said that before

But like I said again you're nothing but a big whore

So when Mike catch on the bass line

That's okay 'cause we will not just waste time

I'll get straight to the point, black girls are bitches

That's why I'ma tell you, you better pull up your britches

'Cause all that cash is making your ass drag

From the boyfriend you ganked and that's pretty bad

I mean that's pretty sad when you're dating a black guy

And then you turn around and fuck another big black guy

Now that's pretty wrong, but you're just ganking

But that's okay because you need a god damn spanking

From me, the funky M&M

I'm busting rhymes and I'm swallowing phlegm

I'm busting a freestyle just like this

I say, "swallowing phlegm" and Howard gets pissed

But when Howard gets pissed that's okay

Because he leaves and he doesn't show up for two more days

So I'll just worry about that problem when I come to it

I'll cross that bridge when I come to it

'Cause— I forgot the chorus

But that's okay 'cause y'all saying, "Bust a rhyme for us"

So I'ma bust another rhyme about this black girl

She turned out to be a fuckin' wack girl

A wack girl, because black girls ain't funny

All they want is your goddamn money

They take you for everything you've got

And then you stand with a bunch of snot in your hand

So I'ma kick it to you just like this

How does the chorus go? I forgot

But that's okay, 'cause I'ma tell you in stride

I'ma say, "Ole foolish pride"

[Chorus: Eminem]

Ole foolish pride, oh, oh, oh, ole foolish pride

Oh, oh, oh, ole foolish pride, oh, oh, oh, ole foolish pride

Oh, oh, oh, ole foolish pride, oh, oh, oh, ole foolish pride

Oh, oh, oh, ole foolish pride, oh, oh, oh

Date a white girl, 'cause they got the raw hide
