glory

Glory” (Harder Version) [Intro] Yeah… They love the glory… but ignore me when it’s stormy ⸻ [Verse 1] I was buried in the pressure, had to blossom out the dirt Where they measure you by stress and every dollar got a worth I was desperate, I was stressing, I was hollering at hurt Now I’m stepping, learned my lessons, put the power in the work They was never in my section when the rent was getting late I was stretching every second, trying to generate a way Now they question how I leveled, how I elevate the pace I just tell ‘em I was patient, had to meditate through pain Look— I done turned every L into leverage Every loss into lessons embedded In the lines, every rhyme got a message You can hear it every time that I stretch it I was low, feeling lesser, feeling left out Now I’m cold with the pressure, bring the best out They was close but they never really kept round Now they see me, tryna reconnect now ⸻ [Hook] They see the glory, but don’t see the grief Don’t see the war in me, don’t see the beast I had to crawl through the mud just to reach Everything they only dream when they sleep They see the shine, but don’t see the scars Don’t see the nights I was fighting my thoughts Now I’m alive, but I carry the dark Glory ain’t gold, it’s the pain in your heart ⸻ [Verse 2] I was fighting my reflection, had to face what I’m becoming All that anger I suppressed, had it building in my stomach Now I’m dumping every feeling in these verses like it’s nothing But it’s really everything I kept inside when I was struggling I don’t flex, I reflect, I project what I live Every step, every breath, every scar what it is I was kept in the dark, had to spark what I give Now I’m lit from within, I don’t need no assist And they love you when you shining, never love you when you down That’s the lesson I was learning every time I was around Had to cut a couple ties, had to dumb a couple sounds Now my circle real tight, ain’t no running in and out Man, this glory got a price, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t light It’s the nights you lose your mind, it’s the fights you gotta fight It’s the times you want to quit but you still choose to write Your own story, your own path, your own wrongs into right ⸻ [Hook] They see the glory, but don’t see the grief Don’t see the war in me, don’t see the beast I had to crawl through the mud just to reach Everything they only dream when they sleep ⸻ [Outro] Yeah… If they knew what it took… They wouldn’t want it
