jay' major - glory lyrics

[verse 1:]
i figured you were the worst
had me thinking that i adopted
i doubted you ever gave me birth
i hated you first but i hated me most
(you) said i should have been born to a rich family
probably living on the coast
used to put me upside down in front of the folks
and under the couch
put the strokes to my back
and the memories hurt me like ouch
i thought i would die
thought i was the most miserable young man alive
how could i survive?
so i went and had these dream
and these visions of the day i would die
i remember one night you had me and the folks
pegged for the whip
you done gave ‘em seven strokes
then took me and put me under the couch
and gave me twenty-four
blaming it on a pot of rice
what would i have ate it for?
and i hate it more
that these trust and security issues
woulda ate me alive as a leader
scared that every time i failed
i’ll be receiving the whip to my back just as lupita
but the many times i failed i was putting up the whip to my back in my mind just like that silas, gods own soldier
now i happily trade those memories at an auction price to the lowest bidder and live with amnesia
but i think i had forgotten the too many times
the multiple tables had too many times
and i’m pretty much not good at math
so i learned and forgot ‘em
the too many times when i had you crying
and racing through traffic cos i was asthmatic
but we had no harmony
war was our symphony
i cried on my melody
the cracks of your whips and the kicks of your punches informing this rhythm, i rap to my sorrowing
ain’t it pretty much ironic?
how you thought i won’t be joseph
but look who’s been stuck at the bottom of his past been sold to his scars, and slave to his hurts they bought my monopoly. the days had been stretching like latex
my rebellion hit the apex
dad looked me and said;
“she gave you the birth”
and of all women that made you the greatest
now sing it

[hook:]
o glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory
glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory
glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory
glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory

[verse 2:]
i heard stories of a brother (stories of a brother)
tales of a river (ah!)
choc is in the water (choc is in the water)
how you gon’ end another man who needed a hand but i abandoned you in this world?
i don’t even remember why you left
or the time you left
but i also had left you alone cos i felt i was stressed
i failed and you was a test-
i failed to protect you
and leaders are something like parents
but single fathers are pretty terrible at parenthood
so why did i regret?
why when the news h-t me about your death?
cos regret is worthless when you could of prevent
the death of a loved one who was given to your arms to protect and direct
i’m not always correct
but i insist i would be getting my stand straight
i didn’t say erect like “h-m- erectus”
i shoulda kept you
but i’m a reject too
it’s crazy that a reject even rejects you
if i was faithful, i won’t neglect you
but for a man who couldn’t afford to take a risk faith was an even expense too
blankets were cheaper and i slept too
then i dreamt you became a superstar and woke when i heard you were gone
and thought, maybe if i kept you
you wouldn’t have met the miserable company that led you
to the cliff where i heard you were running for your life when you took a dive into that death pool
your body went to the bottom but your soul to the top
i called spys and he told me we ain’t seeing you again
but i never got to picture you for that one last shot
please pardon my excuses for my failures
i know i could never write this wrong
but if there’s only one consolation i got it’s
we’ll meet up in heaven at the feet of our lord
dressed in that white robe you singing that song of (glory)

[hook:]
o glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory
glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory
glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory
glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory

[verse 3:]
there are those days when i’m stressed from the thought
that you sacrifices may only be burnt offerings which are not even pleasing to the lord
the smoke from that offering is gonna be choking your thoughts
i heard that it takes conversations to save your relations
have you tried building a reputation
when conversation is in a different language from your team which were supposed to like some close relations?
you’ll learn why babel never saw its completion
try building success amidst conflict and confusion
you don’t get completion
then your babel becomes jericho’s demolition
i still feel as though it compares
to the sailor who sailed t-tanic to an iceberg and wrecked this boat into damage and beyond repairs
now this place is gonna be flooding with a mess
and your tears are adding to the flood
hey! you better get up, get a mop and get back to the work!
but what more can you do when your best ain’t enough?
enny moses had said of leader that i was the worst, d-mn!
those days the failure hung on my neck like it’s a jewelry
blame it on my foolery
made them see the fool in me
made my sacrifices worthless
so you could see the jew in me
but that brought out the cain in me
and it was gon’ ruin me
i was starting to be losing my sense of responsibility
and even though i feel like you laughing like i’m a joke from a comedian
i promise this time imma take full responsibility
for all my mistakes, my errors and all my failures
and every time my failures caused you to fail in your
aiming to take a shot when you aiming only to miss the point
but target practice was created so we could miss the point
although these points are cardinals i know they not the pope
although i missed my way what matters is i make it home!
but until then
i’m at this place where i done had
enough of your comments that’s flooding my inbox
i’m treating these comments like “bob”
like bob, i’ll spam them and then i’ll be singing
and then i would sing (glory)

[hook:]
o glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory
glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory
glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory
glory, o glory, o glory, o glory, glory
