Glorious (feat. Nas)

Declining Ya gifts 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 the 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 Trans Atlantic slave trade No warning no promos I just do Sky's not my limit its just a view How do I live forever it's through you The listeners this occurs when Alan the chemist in the kitchen This sh*t is innate As soon as it's written, it's fate We show growth Anybody who against it that's hate I say I'm still the same except the chain the whip the crib The b*tch, the pool, the houses of where I live The kicks I wear, the fucks I give They keeping the 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 thun thun Mega not who I met from this music sh*t 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 to 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 elaborate steps The road to riches is cold and vicious Some expire before acquired growth and wisdom Is knowing when a codefendant's 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 standard, not optional unless you're fake Many trace but can't replicate Artistry me and Nas embodied poetic grace In many ways I've changed Since selling weight on my shoulder The devil came to me in a dream promised me things to test my fate I stay 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
