The Glorious Five

Uh, yeah

We gon' let this shit ride

Hey

That's the call "Hey" from back in the day

Hey

Yeah, just a youngen with a dream

Tryna get this money, I'm tryna get this cream

Not a lot, know what I mean

For this rap shit I'm a fiend

Not one to talk about poppin' pills and sippin' lean

Just a passion for pussy, I'm tryna get up in the spleen

This is my mentality, rappin' at nineteen

Back in Maryland, just tryna break out on the scene

Buyin' big chains at the mall, so girls be like, "Ooh, he clean"

Daydreams that my life is like a movie scene

Sippin' liquor, puffin' green so obscene

Ridin' 'round the city with my homies and a gat

We were lookin' for trouble, not where it's at

Paint the picture like Picasso, matter fact like Sam Spratt

Even younger I was trippin', skippin' school, writin' raps

Never on the road, but on a roll like them craps

Check the facts, endless rhyme books in my backpack, like that, uh

I guess I acted out from lack of a father-figure, go figure

Performin' at open mics, wishin' I could go bigger

I was never in it for the money like a gold-digger

Every time my daddy called me, he'd be like, "Ay yo, ****"

Where the money at?"

Yeah, that's what he say

"Little boy, you know, you know I saw you on a PJ

When you gon' fly me out? When you gon' smoke me out?"

Always throw demands out, muthafuckin' handout

All I ever wanted was a daddy

But that man priority was hug up with a phatty

But I'm glad he did, 'cause it made me who I am

Now I'm the man that I always wish he woulda been

And never started smokin' crack, imagine just what coulda been, damn

Always felt like somethin' it was missin'

Wish we coulda played catch, had talks and went fishin'

But had no one there to listen

Now I feel like my life mission

Is to be the best dad when the time come

For my daughter and my son when the time come

Teach 'em 'bout their heritage and where they come from

Teach 'em 'bout their family history and then some

I been on the grind, tryna find my way

People come and go, but I'ma be the one to stay

People tell me I should live my life their way

All I know is that I'm gonna make it one day

I been on the grind, tryna find my way

People come and go, but I'ma be the one to stay

People tell me I should live my life their way

All I know is that I'm gonna make it one day

Yeah, yeah, Bobby, don't do it to 'em

You're beautiful and you don't gotta prove it to 'em

Come on, come on, Bobby, you ain't shit, though

Why your personality be split, though

One minute it's VIP here, the next that shit be slit throats

Devil and a angel on my shoulder, that's my conscience

Greatest rapper alive, and never actin' Pontius

Keep yourself in check like that dollar run out

You ain't better than nobody based on your dollar amount

Yeah, you grown accustomed to the lifestyle, but you never bougee

Nah, you never brand-new, no it's never "Who's he?"

See, I hate when I get recognized

And while the fan is hypnotized

I'm approached by random guys

Who feel the need to emphasize, "I don't know who you are"

I reply, "I'm a gentleman and a fuckin' rap star"

Put your lighters in the sky if you got 'em

This for anybody who feel like they at the bottom

Nobody to tell 'em they special, you know I got 'em

Nobody there to tell 'em they love 'em, well, I got 'em

Uh, no matter where you were, you gotta persevere

Ain't no fuckin' around and no makin' a sound

Now you just gotta murder the fear

Yeah, I been thinkin' 'bout it, been tryna get out of it

Fuck what I'm thinkin', it's time to break out of it

Findin' myself in the thick of the debt of it

Had a bad and I don't want it, I'm ready to send it

I'm ready to get it, muthafuckin' quitter come look at my life

I been on the grind, tryna find my way

People come and go, but I'ma be the one to stay

People tell me I should live my life their way

All I know is that I'm gonna make it one day

I been on the grind, tryna find my way

People come and go, but I'ma be the one to stay

People tell me I should live my life their way

All I know is that I'm gonna make it one day
