This is my story
Glory…

Like the last time that you ever seen me hold me ahh
Lately i’ve been fucked up
Been having a hard time
Like back when my dawg died
Felt my heart split apart like Apartheid
I could have survived
Thug life full of combine
Hold it down I was sentenced by the crown
I never used to smile though I never used to frown
10 toes on the ground
What the hell my life came turning around from running wild in my town
To the Glory

Hold me ah
This is my story yeaaa
Glory…
Hold me ah
Like the last time that you ever seen me hold me ahh

I remember when they shipped me from the cans
To Chelmsford HMP and my celly had it bad
So I had to have his back
Niggas started fighting and then they cut me on my hand
So I grabbed one from the back and flung him off the landing
You know the screws get extra ruthless when you’re black
Laying on my back now the block’s feeling mad
Now I’m in a lab
Tryna do the best I can

Hold me ah
This is my story yeaaa
Glory…
Hold me ah
Like the last time that you ever seen me hold me ahh

Said first things first
Finna let you know that I’ve been bad since birth
I heard it from the nurse
Looking and went searching through trials that occurred
Then I started working twice as hard
Having nightmares of the day I fall off
But I stick around like herpes, I ain’t letting up
With harmonies just like Bone Thugz hmmm

Hold me ah
This is my story yeaaa
Glory…
Glory ahhhhhh
Like the last time that you ever seen me hold me ahh
Glory ahhhhh
