Lupe Fiasco - Glory lyrics

[Verse 1] When your spirit is strained And you limited to change The lyrics in your limericks'll change A different hook, the way the sentences arranged More demented in your deliverance, more sinister in your slang Sounds more belligerent when it's sang The truth is limitless in its range If you drop a 'T' and look at it in reverse it can hurt Look at the grimaces of the pain And it's worse when it works and your membership is gained But you forgetting the proof diminishes in the flames Like 'poof', the media pours images in your brain Of the score of the war where militants is slain The faces of the guilty where innocence is proclaimed And they filthy, the deaf ears are the winners The listeners are the lames Of the ballad of the man that the son of a minister has became So [Hook] Wherefore does my glory go? Wherefore does my glory go? (Glory, glory) Wherefore does my glory go?(Wherefore does my glory go?) Wherefore does my glory go? (Glory, glory) [Verse 2] But you gotta understand, our differences is the same What starts in clouded minds, finishes in the reign Of the fools that are used as instruments in the game Where oppression is the queen and ignorance is the king Where revolution is dead, no candles in is memory No remembrance of its fame, just a mystery No mentioning the history of the chain, the enemy No hennessy sentiments in its name Just an unmarked grave that menaces have defamed With the propaganda, and images of the gangs A lost art, no apprentices in it trained And they brainwashed, no interest in its stain And the minds weary, all the adrenaline in it drained While the wrecking ball is, disa**embling things Her highness is the cause, his eminence is the blame The pride is still there, the privileges still remain, but [Hook] [Verse 3] And you've gotta respect the position in which you playing Never let your heart reflect the conditions in which its staying Even if it's dark, and the temperature is the same As winters in the Ukraine, your appendages is in chains Have forgiveness from the start, keep maliciousness restrained Be smart, never indiscriminate in your aim 'Cos there's innocent witnesses oblivious to the things That come, the one's the hypnotists keep entertained And you can't arc, have some resilience in your frame Stay resistant, and stay committed to what you sing, 'cos They can flip it the minute that you refrain Read the book and the lines, and literature in between And gotta be educated when going against the grain Pay attention, they illegitimate in their claims They a**isted in the k**ing and pillaging In addition to the addiction sh** is much bigger than just them planes, but [Hook] [Outro] Wherefore does my glory go? (Is it on TV? Yeah) Wherefore does my glory go? (Maybe it's on a CD?) Wherefore does my glory go? (Do you see it when you look at me?)
