Glass Houses
Throwing stones in glass houses
So strong, up on that mountain
So low when you wake, counting
With her makeup on my stomach
Strange vibes, unfamiliar surroundings
Been so long since I saw me
Always through rose-tinted glass
Cup of something on my left
Fronting on myself, slipping in debt
Running from stress, pulling sickies
Who'd have guessed, feeling icky
Not again, Juma, we talked
Dreams we hoped, but you dropped
They watch you fall, then rise
Mouths open, full of surprise
Never thought you'd pull it back
Didn't think you had that knack
What once nearly defined you
I'm glad it's behind you
Chasing passions now, free
Only me to wreck it, clearly
Sober now, 31st, monster gone
Could've been me, would've gone on
Lying to myself on the surface
Had to kill my ego first
It hurt, felt worthless
But in the end, it was worth it
Journey, not destination
Fought hard, long vacation
Battled myself, my mind vacant
Lost some folks, stayed patient
Not complacent, hurdles made me
Stronger, wouldn't change it
Thought I'd lost it, stood tall
To my son, this is for y'all
Gotta hit the road, get dough
They say my music heals, though
Crazy, how I flip scripts
Counted out, but never quit
Had to leave, get right
New zone, new flight
Dreamed this life, fiend for it
Horizon bright, can't ignore it
Past was class, future bright
Angel near, I light the night
Throwing stones in glass houses
So strong up on that mountain
So low when you wake, counting
With her makeup on my stomach
Unfamiliar with my surroundings
So strong, up on that mountain
So low when you wake, counting
With her makeup on my stomach
Strange vibes, unfamiliar surroundings
Been so long since I saw me
Always through rose-tinted glass
Cup of something on my left
Fronting on myself, slipping in debt
Running from stress, pulling sickies
Who'd have guessed, feeling icky
Not again, Juma, we talked
Dreams we hoped, but you dropped
They watch you fall, then rise
Mouths open, full of surprise
Never thought you'd pull it back
Didn't think you had that knack
What once nearly defined you
I'm glad it's behind you
Chasing passions now, free
Only me to wreck it, clearly
Sober now, 31st, monster gone
Could've been me, would've gone on
Lying to myself on the surface
Had to kill my ego first
It hurt, felt worthless
But in the end, it was worth it
Journey, not destination
Fought hard, long vacation
Battled myself, my mind vacant
Lost some folks, stayed patient
Not complacent, hurdles made me
Stronger, wouldn't change it
Thought I'd lost it, stood tall
To my son, this is for y'all
Gotta hit the road, get dough
They say my music heals, though
Crazy, how I flip scripts
Counted out, but never quit
Had to leave, get right
New zone, new flight
Dreamed this life, fiend for it
Horizon bright, can't ignore it
Past was class, future bright
Angel near, I light the night
Throwing stones in glass houses
So strong up on that mountain
So low when you wake, counting
With her makeup on my stomach
Unfamiliar with my surroundings
