In 2003, progressive rapper/producer Attila generated a tremendous buzz among the Nashville underground with the release of his solo album Konquest. Rap critics were impressed with his complex rhyme schemes & provocative lyrics, while fans were attracted to his high speed delivery and sudden beat changes. Many listeners were won over by his unique form of "world domination rap", which focuses on war, pride, and gaining power at all costs. With "Konquest" showcasing his tremendous potential, many fans were left eagerly awaiting the next chapter in Attila's dramatic epic. Three years have passed and he has finally released his follow up album, Nightfall. This time around, Attila pushes the envelope even further with intricate arrangements, insanely complex rhyme schemes, and even more progressive song topics. The lyrics explore the topics of war, money, and power; focusing on the rise to power and its many downfalls & consequences. Most of the songs are written as stories, with the storytelling effortlessly jumping from reality-based life lessons to tales of angels & other religious entities. Songs like "Destiny" and "Greed" depict a warlord's dreams of power, while "Glory" chronicles his attempted conquest of the Romans. And the gothic epics "Fire at the End of the Tunnel" and "Fall from Grace" have quickly become fan favorites, as their intricate arrangements constantly evolve to match the evolving story lines. Because of its progressive concepts & top-notch production, Nightfall is sure to leave Attila's fans begging for more.

Story behind the song
My take on tha 1st of the 7 deadly sins. The 1st verse describes a conqueror's view of the world, the 2nd tells the story of a bank robber who's too proud to surrender, and the 3rd lashes out at the friends who betrayed him. Smooth beat during chorus turns crunk during verses. It's always a trip seein people's 1st reaction to tha beat change at tha start of the 1st verse. That and the breakdown in the 3rd verse usually make people rewind tha song.
Lyrics
Pride (Chorus) They say my pride is my weakness, ambition and greed got me chasin all my dreams knowin that i won't succeed My lust for money and power fuels my every decision I'll murder my rivals while preparin for my ascension Cuz my pride is my weakness, ambition and greed got me chasin all my dreams knowin that i can't succeed My lust for money and power fuels my every decision I'll murder my critics while preparin for my ascension (Verse) Got me pacing in the rain while i'm plottin my rise to money and power an all these cowards are gonna be tastin my wrath in tha final hour the burnin hatred in my soul's subsided but almost childishly it took me a while to see that i wield the power to change reality and actually, it's rooted in fear i'm wishin death to all of my peers i told ya the end is near cuz i'm finta bring it, bitch am i makin it clear?! i must fulfill my dreams of conquerin distant galaxies my strategy's, to rise to the top regardless of the casualties it has to be a tragedy cuz bitch there will be none after me my plans can't end in catastrophe why tha fuck ya'll niggaz keep askin me? i was born to be your king so niggaz i'm crushin all opposin me they'll lay on the floor and bleed then i'll lift my swords and torch victoriously unfortunately, i see they'll wanna be free to torture me so i'll cast a spell and have em adorin me the beauty of ancient scorcery I'll never be satisfied til you niggaz address me sire my path to greatness must be paved in bloodshed and fire (chorus) My hunger for money has spawned a spree of armed robberies and killings my latest victims were the attendents of a real estate convention to get their attention i shot 3 bitches just to prove that i wasn't pretendin want me to grant your life an extension? then obey every word that i mention lock the doors, now open the safe and fill up the bags with cash and all of your wealth and hurry up bitch cuz otherwise -shit! the cops! now dammit i have to bail i'm mad as hell, i'll tell them i want a deal to cut my losses 9 of the guests i'm holdin hostage over the phone we dealt with the cops an minutes later? no progress the negotiations are through 7 hostages are dead and i'm down to the final 2 but it ain't my fault, they shouldn't have moved i told em not to make a sound they cut the power?! what tha fuck?!! i refuse to surrender now but i'm surrounded, and i know there's no way i'ma win this battle so i closed my eyez, beggin the Lord for the strength to kill these cattle they kicked in the door, i started to spray even though i know i'm finta be slain but i'd rather die as a man than live as a fuckin slave (chorus) Keep your eyez on all them niggaz you call your friends they'll smile in your face but really they're rooted in sin i went through it but i could sense them niggaz were plottin so i had to pretend that i didn't know it was them, just so i could cleanse my clan from the evil within we'd hang but knew in the end it's only as deep as the skin, but never again they waited until my path was blurry then they did all they could just to deter me how could them niggaz desert me? i thought that them niggaz were worthy, that they would serve me still i tried to squash it and grow but failed and so i went on my own to start from scratch, the progess was slow determined i finally rose and so the more that i rise, the less i'll reply just so i can witness the shame in your eyez you know that i tried to broaden your minds you know that you should've been here by my side instead you listened to lies, and let em divide the click then i realized you leeches were suckin me dry you said that you wanted your freedom so i let you fly you took a few strides then fell on your face then asked for a ride, but niggaz i cain't well really i could, but not that i would see i got a problem with nigg
