PROUD Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Real me, feelin' so free, scream it from the top of your lungs, lungs
They acceptin', it's a blessin', it feels so right, can never be wrong, wrong, uh
You're walkin' tall and now you found your freedom
Don't break your spirit now, you've got that feelin'
Stand up to the whole world, feelin' like you've finally found home

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't be quiet, no
Can't deny it, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Chorus]
You make me proud
I wanna tell the world about you now
You know it's you that I love, you that I love, oh
So hear me say it loud, loud
No, I swear I'll never let them bring you down
You know it's you that I love, you that I love, oh

[Verse 2]
Stand out in the whole crowd, shinin', now you found your true glow, glow, oh
No doubt, do your mama proud, now you're finally takin' control, 'trol, ah
Not afraid to celebrate who we are
Got what it takes, they'll never break you down, nah, nah
No doubt, baby, stand proud, now you're finally takin' control, uh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't be quiet, no
Can't deny it, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Chorus]
You make me proud
I wanna tell the world about you now
You know it's you that I love, you that I love, oh
So hear me say it loud, loud
No, I swear I'll never let them bring you down
You know it's you that I love, you that I love, oh

[Bridge]
Boy, you're beautiful, you're looking so good, so good
Kisses to your haters like you love them, so good
In your own lane, baby, focus, all good, yeah
Go 'head, beautiful, you're looking so good, so good
Kisses to your haters like you love them, so good
In your own lane, it's time to get 'em
Pedal to the floor, it's time to get 'em
They never take your shine, so don't you let 'em
No, no, no, no, no, no

[Chorus]
You make me proud (Proud)
I wanna tell the world about you now (You know I do)
You know it's you that I love, you that I love, oh (Yeah)
So hear me say it loud, loud (Loud)
No, I swear I'll never let them bring you down
You know it's you that I love, you that I love, oh (Don't you?)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
