Glorious

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
