Glorious by D-sisive
Glorious lyrics
One day your story will be told
Beneath the likes of your deserted fate
One day they'll make you glorious
One of the lucky ones who's made his name
One day your story will be told
Beneath the likes of your deserted fate
One day they'll make you glorious
One of the lucky ones who's made his name
I hope you can sleep through the night, man
The truth is I can't
Because of you and your hype, man
Quite the show
All that for 19 dollars and a coat
My back to the wall, a knife to my throat
Scared that my life could be over with a slice
Hands in my pocket, wallet out my jeans
Robbed of my jacket, tangled in my sleeves
Knuckles on my cheeks, steps on my spine
Grunts while you punched, laughs while I cried
And I cried like a child, my dignity stripped with my
parka
Bet you are proud of your glorious self
Now we both have a story to tell
But you get to tell yours with a smile,
I get to see mine every night I close my eyes
One day your story will be told
Beneath the likes of your deserted fate
One day they'll make you glorious
One of the lucky ones who's made his name
I hope you can sleep through the night, man
The truth is I can't
It all happened so fast, all I did was walk
Minded my business in silence, innocent
You and your boy had another plan for me,
And a reputation to build
You could see the weakness in my steps,
And was right when you guessed that I was no fighter
I could have been but I wasn't
You took the risk, I was left bloody
I was bruised while you bragged to your buddies
"The weeds on me," paid with my 20
You reenact the scene for your boys,
Imitate my cries from punches thrown
They beg, "Please tell the story once more"
While I'm too afraid to walk out my front door
One day your story will be told
Beneath the likes of your deserted fate
One day they'll make you glorious
One of the lucky ones who's made his name
I hope you can sleep through the night, man
The truth is you have no clue
I bet you don't even remember me
I'm one amongst many in your memories
It's hard work robbin kids of they confidence
It's impossible to remember every pocket picked
Every tear on the sidewalk
Every kid fearin for they life, but
Believe me, every one of us remember you
We all try to forget but we never do
We'll forever see that moment that you let us through
To forgive is not something we intend to do
You turned our shadows into monsters
For a chain, a jacket and some dollars
I hope you can sleep through the night, man
Cause I can't, thanks, goodnight.
One day your story will be told
