The Glory

[Verse 1: Erick the Architect]

You see us as winners, when do we ever win?

When am I even good enough? Acknowledge your friends

Sometimes things get broken and we argue again

Spent the last 20 minutes all inside of my head

I'll explain it as takin' cash on culture from the poachers

Scopin' everything I have, ignorin' all the bullshit that made me mad

Killin' coral reefs, smoking weed too fast

Almost got skipped, bitch I read too fast, I don't bleach my past

These are the titles G's supposed to have, cold in the summer

Sweatin' bullets out on Flatbush Ave

Spirit like I got a platinum plaque, modern acrobat, the mass effect

I sharp shoot 'em, make them tap the mat, so accurate

We represent the illest seniors, small demeanors

Tellin' lies inside this room of cheaters

Even at the stage of a fetus, I reclaim to repeat this to all my demons

That's pigeon-holdin' your genius and feedin' right into weakness

How can he write his thesis? He don't believe in Jesus

Sweetness, I'm almost speechless, for our future, egregious

We gotta pick up the pieces shawty, huh, I'm familiar with pain

Used to play by myself when they considered it lame

Do this thing by yourself, nothing is ever obtained

Introverted but I’m emergin' the spark to the flame

I won't harp on a thing

I won't causin' the blame, but it's hard to obtain

[Chorus: Erick the Architect]

I wanna see you winnin', I wanna see you get the cash

Wanna see you finish, don't wanna see you wave the flag

Wanna see you try hard, wanna see you do it big

Bringing champagne home, 'long as I could get a swig

I wanna see you winnin', I wanna see you get the cash

Wanna see you finish, don't wanna see you wave the flag

Wanna see you try hard, wanna see you do it big

Bringing champagne home, 'long as I could get a swig

[Verse 2: Meechy Darko]

A real friend'll kill you if you asked him to

Instead of stabbin' on the back of you

Just tryin' to get ahead

But you can't spend a dime if you work yourself dead

We are so deep in love with the sinner but not the sin

How could she turn my king size into a waterbed? Damn, I'm just sayin'

Kick her out the crib and scream, "Baby, come back"

Then kick her out again, I'm just crazy like that

Bitches fall in love with a nigga out of his mind

And I fall so deep into lust with a chick with a big behind

My ex left cause I ain't got no hits

I heard her new boyfriend lumpin' her up with his fists

But hey, you got what you asked for, I'm petty as shit

That's some food for thought, I let you do the dishes

[Chorus: Erick the Architect]

I wanna see you winnin', I wanna see you get the cash

Wanna see you finish, don't wanna see you wave the flag

Wanna see you try hard, wanna see you do it big

Bringing champagne home, 'long as I could get a swig

[Verse 3: Denzel Curry]

I'm Faizon with no love, give love with a golden glove

I'm the man with a golden gun, black man under golden sun

I'm shinin', Jack Nicholson, wishes where my nickels went

Kisses on my mistletoes, did I have a Christmas? No

But I had a misses though, believe me, shoulda vacay'd in Tahiti

Wishing you were dyin' with me, sweet as hugs and diabetes

Leave me, love me, touch me, cut me, lustin'

Fuck me, busty, dusty, old and rusted

Baby, do you mind if I revise what's in your mind?

You see my call declined because a certain point in time

I'm hopin' every line it hits like millimeter nine

You beggin' me to change, that is a penny to a dime

The realness in my spirit always gets you every time

Optimistic like Optimus, we ain't even reached our prime

Roses are red and violence leads to violins

End of discussion, I hope that we could still be friends

[Verse 4: Zombie Juice]

Don't take this shit for granted, I'm blessed just like my granny

Shout out my uncle Mannie, hey, hi, I hope you winnin'

Gia, I hope you listenin'

And Tommy, hold your head, man fuck that heart condition

Rihanna like my big mama, we call Penny Big Mama

She like a hundred years old, that's a real old timer

Uncle Karl, you in a better place

Just know the pictures that you took gon' live forever and a motherfuckin' day

Rest in peace Uncle Rob, we miss you, bless your heart

Rihanna and my grandmama took me in from the start

Aunt Marie beatin' cancer, givin' everything she had

My cousin Calvin showed me swag, my cousin Hebrew showed me straps

Me and J used to hustle, he had that white, I had that green

Who got them pills? We in Fort Greene, lil' niggas on the scene

Gods had four knives, that's one for each pocket

Gonna need nine lives if you get outta pocket

If I see cousin James, I'll knock his eye out his socket

Diamante hold me down like I ain't got a wallet

Rest in peace to my sweet great-grandma Grace

I wish my mama was alive, if I could see her face

My grandfather used to say when I fucked up

That I was just like my mama, tough love

I wish I could see my kid way more than I could

My baby mama holdin' grudges, but the court gon' do good
