Backstory:

Home Pride is a 'father/son" talk with an emphasis on the strength of the mother and how the person who should have been the "man of the house" has burdened his son with that title.  This song is a fusion of LoFi Hip Hop (son, sung by Victor Sampson) and Country (Father, sung by William Sherry).  This song was co-written by Clare Steffen, Victor Sampson, and William Sherry and is a part of the Round The Globe project.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Born poor, without no home

and yet she’s proud of you

Your mama’s proud of you



Dad left and he didn’t come home

She didn’t know what to do

For your sister and you



Chorus

So many families 

Left all alone

But they still stay strong

They make it on their own



What does it take to make a home?

And start anew

You gotta change the view



Too many on the street just roam

It’s like a zoo

What is their point of view?



Prechorus

(Lead in to prechorus).  But you were

Born poor without no home

And yet she’s proud of you

Your mamas proud of you



Chorus

So many families

Left all alone

But they still stay strong

They make it on their own



A house ain’t no home

But your mama knew 

That she’d be proud of you



It ain’t the place that’s home

It’s ‘bout the point of view

Your mama gave to you



(Fade Out)

Your mamas proud of youb

You know she’s proud of you



William’s Part



V1

I'm sorry I couldn’t stay

It wasn’t my plan to walk away
Things aren’t always what they seem

I still want you to dare to dream



V2
Your mamma was stronger than I am

But I want you to be a better man

Your mama proud of you

Son, I too am proud of you



V3

Take the love mama gave to you

And do all the things you wanna do

I’m here now if you need a hand

I’ll stay here ‘till you learn to stand



Bridge

Strong, and you can say it loud

I made it and I’m proud

Mama gave you a home

So you would never feel alone


Outro

Your mamas proud of you

I am so proud of you

Stay strong, son 

Your mamas proud of you
