Glory Glory It's really no joke, on the road, there's no joking We peak as YG, so the code is for soldiers When there's no color in your clothes, there's no boastin' When there's no hope in tryna fix what's been broken We start off as children, so our hearts are wide open We end up in that newspaper mugshot, just posin' That's not how man comes down, it's all in slow motion Lost another real one to incarceration We can't watch the news 'cause there's false information Can't walk in these shoes, it's the undertone, implication We built what they call reputation Everything can take a left turn without any indication From the block to the top, that takes patience Can't leave the house 'til you've found motivation I'd like to freestyle a profound explanation It's only ever fallen angels that sit down next to Satan I'm ready now to have a conversation Trauma takes years to unravel, there's been many complications I'm savvy now, I've been a couple places When Nip spoke about a marathon, I had to win a couple races I'm criminal, I bust a couple cases Hurt a lot of people on the way and in my mind, I'll see their faces I'm flyin' through the city in my spaceship Looking back, it's like we only know where the estate is, ayy Anytime I felt low and on my own, I would tell 'em, "One day, I will succeed" (uh-huh, uh-huh) Anytime that I was strugglin' for dough I would tell 'em, "One day, I will make peace" (uh-huh, uh-huh) Said times it would get dirty in my jail cell I never stopped thinkin' I was gonna live big (ah, yeah) In my cell, I had my pen, I had my pad And that's just where I started plannin' out The Greatest British Dream Now I'm international, my world is gettin' spacious They call it an estate when the land around the crib is couple acres Fourteen years later and they bring a DNA test They didn't wanna know me when I wasn't rich and famous I'm pissed 'cause I probably could've saved it But it's like I never got a chance to fulfill my obligation I'm adding "Billie Jean" into my playlist I can relate, she could never be the mother of my babies He died and I couldn't verbalize it The blood running through my veins is cold and I struggle to disguise it I'm blind, sometimes I need remindin' I forget, the sky is the limit, "Be inspired" is the mindset (woo) I made a promise that I was escapin' When I saw my mother usin' cardboard boxes as a table I can't lie, the feeling was amazing To see her in the audience, I could've shed a tear on the stage, ayy Anytime I felt low and on my own, I would tell 'em, "One day, I will succeed" (uh-huh, uh-huh) Anytime that I was strugglin' for dough I would tell 'em, "One day, I will make peace" (uh-huh, uh-huh) Said times it would get dirty in my jail cell I never stopped thinkin' I was gonna live big (ah, yeah) In my cell, I had my pen, I had my pad And that's just where I started plannin' out The Greatest British Dream (yeah) Basically, the trap behind, turn legit Once you're finished, do you get what I'm sayin'? Because I'm trying to put the rule across of like I know Britain, I know the estates of Britain I know the courtrooms Britain, I know the jail cells of Britain This is where I'm from, this is where I'm raised So here's how the f*ck it's done You get me? Here's the great British dream
