You know I'm back like I never left (I never left) Another sprint, another step (another step) Another day, another breath (another breath) Been chasing dreams, but I never slept (I never slept) I got a new attitude and a lease on life And some peace of mind Seek and I find I can sleep when I die Wanna piece of the pie, grab the keys to the ride And shit I'm straight I'm on my wave, I'm on my wave Get out my wake, I'm running late, what can I say? I heard you die twice, once when they bury you in the grave And the second time is the last time that somebody mentions your name So when I leave here on this earth, did I take more than I gave? Did I look out for the people or did I do it all for fame? Legend, it's exodus searching for euphoria Trudging through the mud to find the present, no ignoring us Got 20,000 deep off in the street like we some warriors My mama told me never bow your head, woo! I feel glorious, glorious Got a chance to start again I was born for this, born for this It's who I am, how could I forget? I made it through the darkest part of the night And now I see the sunrise Now I feel glorious, glorious I feel glorious, glorious I'm feeling glorious The crib looking Victorian (oh yes it is) You know that we been going in (been going in) Since we hopped out that Delorean (Delorean, yeah we win) En garde, things are just things They don't make you who you are Can't pack up a U-Haul and take it with you when you're gone We posted on the porch, my family's glasses to the stars My grandma smiling down on me like woo, that boy got bars Okay, okay, yes I do I said amen and hallelujah, let me testify too Another morning, a morning, don't let self get in my way I got my breath, I got my faith and I remember why I came I feel glorious, glorious Got a chance to start again I was born for this, born for this It's who I am, how could I forget? I made it through the darkest part of the night And now I see the sunrise Now I feel glorious, glorious I feel glorious, glorious We gon' be alright, put that on my life When I open my eyes, hope I see you shine We're planting a flag they don't understand The world is up for grabs (Hey, hey, hey) We gon' be alright, put that on my life When I open my eyes, hope I see you shine We're planting a flag they don't understand The world is up for grabs I feel glorious, glorious Got a chance to start again I was born for this, born for this It's who I am, how could I forget? I made it through the darkest part of the night And now I see the sunrise Now I feel glorious, glorious I feel glorious, glorious
