GLORY - Intellectual

[Intro]

Lately, I been drinkin' a lot

And maybe it's in my DNA

Maybe it's the way things have been goin' for me

Lately, I been thinkin' a lot

Maybe I'll always be a slave

Maybe I'll never break these chains

Maybe I need a twist of faith

One of them nothin' was the same like Drizzy Drake's

[Verse 1]

And this is transparency and God forbid that I fail

‘Cause I'd hate to see my mother end up back in that jail

And immigration sent a letter, said they're grantin' me bail

So really time is of the essence, you feel me?

I'm the boy that blew up on the council estate

I want my face on the side of every bus that I've chased

I need an estate, a hundred acres for my family to stay

So my daddy could say, so my daddy could say

[Chorus]

Callin', call on him

Call him when you need him

And he'll be there

Taste like glory, glory, glory

Glory, taste like—, taste like—

[Verse 2]

Lately I been dreamin' a lot which is quite funny

‘Cause when you see me in my face, I look sleepless as fuck

Balancin' evens and odds

But bein' humble pays

And this is so much more than just another occupation

I'm tryna go from workin' in Subway makin' sandwiches for all the doctors

To actually becomin' the next Dr. Dre

Lately, I been thinkin' a lot

How could I be the shortest man in every single room I walk in?

But be consistently the closest to God?

Maybe ‘cause I'm always high

Lately I been thinkin' a lot

How come sleepin' in the car only filled me with drive?

It was just me, myself, the stars and my guitar in the night

And all the songs I would write, huh

And then my nigga would come through and bun a zute in the night

Man, that's the shit that got me through it, that's no word of a lie

Man, that's the shit that got me through it, I still owe you my life

I swear I owe you my life, yeah

But you know what the time is when I buy you that timepiece

Until then, I just need all of my niggas behind me
