Nights like this

Nights like this

I know that they will treat you well

Hide your smile

But I can always tell

In pain there'll be glory

Yes

I start to think about the legacy you left

The young man who hasn't had his first breath

For a mother who can handle my stress

Even more, nothing less

Put your hands on my chest

And feel the beating of my heart

As the dark settles

Pirouette through the past

To the last petals, yeah

The world loves me and loves me not

Your heart the only other thing I got

I start to think about the legacy I leave

To the mother and the seed

To the people who believe

Late at night

As I let the pen bleed

To be the father with the magic up his sleeve

From the roots, to the apple, to the tree

Just another me

Tryna fall further out of reach

Another man bringing sand to the beach

But take the lessons

'Cause the sands she can teach

Nights like this

I know that they will treat you well

Hide your smile

But I can always tell

In pain there'll be glory

If you're bad then do it

Pull the trigger on me

I miss my people

I know they miss hearing from me

I know there'll be glory

There better be glory

(If you're bad then do it, pull the trigger on me) Nights like this

Hide your smile but I can always tell (I miss my people, I know they miss hearing from me)

In pain there'll be glory

(My Dad told me this one thing and it's very true, he said, sometimes, he said, the parents need their kids more than the kids need the parents)
