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
