Glorious (feat. Nas) Songtext
Declining y'all sipping wine as we reminisce
Of my first venture, first startup that I invest, some say
I'm the only one left
Now these capitalists
Say I got my fingers on a pulse
The global-minded find that I'm quiet the most
If my life was a movie, I'm the Stanley Kubrick of music
I slid through the transatlantic slave trade
No warning, no promo, I just do
Skies not my limit, it's just the view
Of my first venture, first startup that I invest, some say
I'm the only one left
Now these capitalists
Say I got my fingers on a pulse
The global-minded find that I'm quiet the most
If my life was a movie, I'm the Stanley Kubrick of music
I slid through the transatlantic slave trade
No warning, no promo, I just do
Skies not my limit, it's just the view
How do I live forever is through you, the listeners
This occurs when Alan The Chemist in the kitchen, this shit is innate
As soon as it's writtеn, it's fate
We show growth, anybody who against it, that's hate
I say I'm still thе same, except the chain, the whip, the crib
The bitch, the pool, the house in where I live, the kicks I wear, no fucks I give
They keeping score of shit that don't matter
Can't remember my thirties
Need to make some new stories, more unforgettable
Nasir and Cory, if Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris was one
We live a life, a glorious one, forty and Vernon, thunn thunn
'Mega not who I met through this music shit
We from the block, a brother I grew up with, love
Dreams of better living came into fruition
And exceeded what we envisioned
Glory awaits the ambitious
You either apply pressure or feel it
Struggle inspired me, the hustle justifiably Conspiring to acquire what was once denied to me
Was mine if I wanted it
Confronted with decisions of going in
With rhymes or rubber grips
I chose wisely knowing I walked within
The shadow of death with a ladder and steps
The road to riches is cold and vicious
Some expire before acquiring growth and wisdom
It's known when the court defendant tone is different
Say less, listen, you can hear conviction
Learn from adversity, stand on integrity
And don't abandon these principles for anything
Not for nothing, I put that on everything
Real is standing not optional, unless you are fake
Many trace but can't replicate
Artistry, me and Nas embody poetic grace
In many ways I've changed
Since Salem weight on my shoulder, the Devil came
To me in a dream and promised me things to test my faith
I stayed true to God, all praise due
A serpent don't concern me, I'm resistant to snake moves
Dreams of better living came into fruition
And exceeded what we envisioned
Glory awaits the ambitious
You either apply pressure or feel it
This occurs when Alan The Chemist in the kitchen, this shit is innate
As soon as it's writtеn, it's fate
We show growth, anybody who against it, that's hate
I say I'm still thе same, except the chain, the whip, the crib
The bitch, the pool, the house in where I live, the kicks I wear, no fucks I give
