Stephen Redhead - The Glow lyrics

[Verse 1] Tell me what you know about this, the flow is so astounding This for my peoples who done seen the kid and know he bout it And of course some fools would doubt it, tryina tell me what my route is I'm seeing early that they thirsty I know where the drought is They ain't motivated tho, still they will complain they know it all but got no gall to give they all like they made it tho That ain't in my mindframe, if it ain't convenient where you're sleeping tell me why stay Living life's designed how you define things Born to hustle, cut the cord, sent in the jungle Some people read between the lines but I'm not as subtle You rather brag on what you got, or what you lack, or what you bought Here's a thought, what's your plot? How do you flip what's in that pot? Oh you want some fame? Oh you want some dough? But yet you still a lame? And everybody knows You want a certain grade, ‘cause your supply is low Oh you're running game, that's why you're moving slow (Let's go) [Hook] Woke up and I'm oh so clean Ain't no soap or cologne, I was born so mean, see People like to show what they told Just to make their lives whole, but it don't tempt me, see I want the big rolls, gold ring Cadillac door it's a small thing I already know I got the glow No one can take it from me ‘cause I shine on my own [Verse 2] They keep on talking, they keep on talking Don't even really need a topic, they keep name dropping Disgusting They figured you don't know enough to call their bluff Joking like you're broke as f** until you ask to show their stubs No such luck Don't be fooled, they got their own agenda Soon as you are done with them, you're noticing their gender See the red up in my veins, theirs is more magenta Gotta keep the voice down, it aggravates placentas And then some So guess what, I'll devise a plan I need you to add some for good measure Soon you'll understand you might not fathom, but no pressure It's the laws of man, I will not backhand, you're not lesser We all standing together Don't answer to oppressors, no dances to your methods Never ran from, I command ‘em, I don't plan em, so don't gesture I brand ‘em with no effort, reprimanding all errors Give you a chance, you'll shine too, in advance, my pleasure [Hook] Woke up and I'm oh so clean Ain't no soap or cologne, I was born so mean, see People like to show what they told Just to make their lives whole, but it don't tempt me, see I want the big rolls, gold ring Cadillac door it's a small thing I already know I got the glow No one can take it from me ‘cause I shine on my own [Verse 3] I used to tell folks how I'm progressing exactly But actually it seems that I'm depressing them factually But others seem ambivalent, they question it aptly And others hating flatly, it's tacky and distracting But of course, let me not digress People in response ask me are you sure? I reply why yes Some others would ask me where's your source? I supply the text, and supply the press They use a pa**ively aggressive tone Then a condescending “Oh” Oh, all that pettiness I can't help Instead of moping bout my problems, I put in work my damn self Playing with the hands dealt Moving all strategic within reason when it's planned well Feelin good, you can't tell? Music game is on a lean, I'm tryina give an epidural Hot97 play and I don't even rep a borough Sometimes when I move around, I think it's me against the world God is always on my side and nobody can rep as thorough [Hook 2x] Woke up and I'm oh so clean Ain't no soap or cologne, I was born so mean, see People like to show what they told Just to make their lives whole, but it don't tempt me, see I want the big rolls, gold ring Cadillac door it's a small thing I already know I got the glow No one can take it from me ‘cause I shine on my own
