The Glory

I run through my dreams every time I tell a story
Americas unhealthy obsession with old glory
The twin towers fell and the image was so gory
In the hood they like what has America done for me
And this is for my soldiers that die for old glory
And all my trap soldiers that's dying for new glory
Wish they could come them back to tell us the true story
And why they did it for the glory
And if they wanna take it back
I wonder if they wanna take it back
I wonder if they wanna take it back
I wonder if they

Yo
This year I turn a Quarter century
Looking back man I swear i made history
Eaz I keep it bicentennial
At my age momma wasn't half as rich as me
And i tryna to be boastful
I just want my kids to be hopeful
I raise the bar they should do the same
Cause pointing fingers only get you blame
The soldiers that I know that lost they life in the field
Couldn't even benefit from the G.I. bill
They just told me keep it G I see those bills
In a world full of fakes it hard to be this trill
Nick Brown was a man tryna be that real
He was one summer away until he got killed
And I know 10 miles won't get me 100 thou
But I'll accept 10 smile and justices in every trail
And every time you raise a toast its wine in my glass
And if that ain't my cup
Let that cup soon pass
And if that ain't my blunt
Let that joint burn fast
Naw i don't smoke but my homies smoke gas
And they be tryna get me to blow after the show
I tell if they want me to blow promo the show
But they don't push nothing but work out here
So I be up in these churches like "its work out here"
And "they need more than a bible verse out here"
And they battle between churches make it worse out here
See that only bring a lot of misdirected concern
If you dont offer the water it's like you lettin em burn ugh
My auntie said it like fans in the high bleachers
They feel for ya but they can't reach ya
They got a lesson but they won't teach ya
They only judge you but your style not ya facial features
Don't you know that thats a trick of the enemy
Let me penetrate yo brain john Kennedy
Pride get high up in that plane ted Kennedy
Fame get ya family slain Joe Kennedy
The pride bring the fall thats a fact
I wonder if they wanna take it back
I wonder if they wanna take it back
I wonder if they ugh... the glory

The glory
The glory
The glory
I wonder if they wanna take it back
I wonder if they wanna take it back

The glory
The glory
