How old are you now?

(Gloria) Glory, yeah
(My Gloria)
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, yeah (yeah)
(Glori-) 

Lately, I've been fucked up, been havin' a hard time
Like back when my dawg died
Felt my heart split apart like apartheid
I could have survived, thug life, full of carbine 
Hold it down, I was sentenced by the crown
And I never used to smile, though I never used to frown
Ten toes on the ground, what the Hell?
My life came turnin' around 
From runnin' wild in my town to the glory

Hold me, yeah (ngiphakamise)
This is my story, yeah (indaba yami le)
(Gloria) Glory, yeah
(My Gloria)
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, yeah (yeah)
(Glori-) 

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 fightin'
Then they cut me on my hand
So I grabbed one from the back and I flung him off the landing
You know the screws get extra ruthless when you're Black
Layin' on my back, now the block's feelin' mad
Now I'm in a lab tryna do the best I can

(Glori-) hold me, yeah
This is my story, yes, ooh
(Gloria) Glory, yeah
(My Gloria)
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, yeah

Said, first things first
I finna let you know that I been bad since birth
I heard it from the nurse
Lookin' and went searchin' through trials that occurred
Then I started workin' twice as hard
Havin' nightmares of the day I fall off
But I stick around like herpes, I ain't lettin' up
With harmonies just like Bone Thugz, ooh

Hold me, yeah
This is my story, yeah, ooh
Glory, yeah
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, yeah
Glory, yeah

Indaba yami le (glory) (Gloria)
This is my story (glory) (my Gloria)
Indaba yami le (glory) (things ain't been the same since you went away)
This is my story (glory)
Indaba yami le (glory)
This is my story (glory)
Indaba yami le (glory)
This is my story (Okay, alright, on three)
