Glory - YONAS, John Splithoff

Five letters

Yeah

Bringin' content back to popular music

All glory

Let’s go

The Hall of Fame of rap I dreamed to see in my induction

Before I ever wrote a verse, success was my assumption

As a kid I had visions, I was supplied a substance ('Ance)

All I needed was flashin' lights and some fly production

Fast forward years later, I’m on some major stages

Style crazy, I’m Nas mixed with some Major Lazer

Independent label but never the type to take a paycut ('Ut)

Million dollar vocals, I guess you could say I got my cake up (Up)

I learned to change the world, it really doesn’t need to take much

Just take that sturdy ground and be the reason they feel the shake-up ('ake up)

It only helps just learn and grow, this life can never break us

Glory to our maker, history can’t erase us

I wanna know how

Is it always gonna be this hard?

Keep my roads open, my journey’s there, it feels so far

And I’ve been waiting on the day

I find so much

Glory in all this pain

Yeah

Been through many trials

I conquer tribulations (Yeah)

And never once did I receive congratulations (Yeah)

But it’s all love 'cause this right here’s a celebration

We turn water to wine, now someone please

Someone please turn my pain to glory

Someone please turn my pain to glory

Someone please turn my pain to glory

It’s to glory (Yo, check it out)

It’s to glory (Uh)

Yo

These the glory days that I’ve been livin' for years

Every great person I’ve met has been driven by fear

Any happy face that I’ve seen has been driven by tears

Look at the blueprint I’m givin' my peers

Are they aware?

Yeah (Yeah)

Look at this legacy that I’m givin' my kids

Look at this thousand dollar steak that I just stick in my fridge

Look how I quietly mind my biz' while I’m buildin' my biz'

I shoot my shot, I hit my shot, I know y’all feelin' my wrist

Swish

Brick by brick, I just keep buildin' this bridge

Between life and the spirit realm or did y’all niggas forget?

('Get?)

How y’all think I got this far?

This here’s been written in script

The glory days, this been a mission for years

Ha, it’s clear

Someone please turn my pain to glory (Yeah)

Someone please turn my pain to glory (Yeah)

Someone please turn my pain to glory (Yeah)

It’s to glory

It’s to glory

Been through many trials

I conquer tribulations

And never once did I receive congratulations

But it’s all love 'cause this right here’s a celebration

We turn water to wine, now someone please
