Listen, tried to put me in a box, the urban dude. I'm Mr. Festivals, Coachella, They never really understood what I was to do, And had me Miles Davis kinda blue I flipped the and put the rock star in my show, Went and had 'em cop cars whipping slow They're looking for me I was bad with a black everybody in the game, Pacman The issue is not a game, I've got these kids looking at me, "What a shame! so underrated, he should have sold more Should've had a number one with his own tour. Look at his show, look how we touch 'em keys, Look how 'em girls scream he fall to his knees! how he pour his heart out when he tell his story." i guess i had to my guts so i could get my glory!
Listen, Have you ever seen such determination? it all, I'm still a theme for the adulation. Everything I ever wrote I did it the heart Never had a top ten but you respect my art. I'm in the club and still send me free bottles, Still that G-55 with a super model. my reality, this ain't no show, brother Go check my girl on the February cover And me whipping through the city in that silver Jeep screaming "Oh, that's Ryan Leslie," Yeah, they know it's me I'm not ashamed at all, in fact I my story, No what it takes oh I'ma keep my glory!
Sh-t! The glory, it to me! oh, oh! I get it The glory, it to me!
You me why I'm rapping, Well I you the reason, The reason you're hating when you should be believing It's in your heart to hate, in my heart to win, So yeah, I'm rapping now, let the begin! I write my own records, my own checks, which hotel and which city I'm calling home next! One thing i for sure, one thing that's mandatory, I owe it all to God, I him all the glory!
Sh-t! The glory, it to me! oh, oh! (x3) get my glory, it to me! (x2)
