rick gordon - #glassceilings lyrics

[intro:]
“is this it? is this what it’s all about, manny? eating, drinking, f-cking? then what? then what? [come on, it’s not so bad; it could be worse, ya’know?] is this what it’s all about? [fo’get it] is this what i work for?

[verse 1:]
youngins on the grind until we hit the top (hit the top)
but it’s something like mutombo you can’t see the block (see the block)
every time you ball the refs gon’ watch you like a hawk (like a hawk)
mixing jazz with that knock yeah that’s a paradox (paradox)
exactly how i feel when i walk around (walk around)
my presence got these rich folks talking loud
they wanna box you in just so they can box you out (box you out)
but i just face ’em up cause it ain’t no backing down
and i can’t fade away
living life day-to-day
living in the land where you get judged off what you make today
selling dreams to the youth i’m putting mine on layaway
on that road less traveled so no you ain’t gotta make a way
when you young it’s just hard to see the reasons
how my people barely eating
do the cooking and the cleaning
so if they deal me in i’m just folding like lehman
throw a fit if they catch marcus shopping at neiman’s
gl-ss ceilings

[hook:]

gl-ss ceilings, gl-ss ceilings
if you looked me in my face could tell i was brilliant
if you looked in the mirror you know it’s revealing
dying for this life, cause it’s that appealing

this my lunch hour
i guess it’s time to eat
if you was present for the grind then you can take a seat (take a seat)
see i don’t know my limit
i’m reaching higher feet (higher feet)
i go to work on these beats
they wouldn’t hire me (hire me)
when your people is famished you just want to feast (want to feast)
knowing that there’s two valleys for every peak (for every peak)
a lot of wannabes
man i just wanna ‘be’ (i just wanna be)
they say the sky’s the limit?
i wish the lies would cease
i’m looking past it
homie you see my p-ssion
got this master plan and don’t even have my bachelor’s
everybody loses except the pusher and the pastor
wait for years, for what?
man my people need it faster

when you young it’s just hard to see the reasons
how my people barely eating
do the cooking and the cleaning
so if they deal me in i’m just folding like lehman
throw a fit if they catch marcus shopping at neiman’s
gl-ss ceilings
