Listen, tried to put me in a box, the urban dude. I'm Mr. Festivals, Coachella, They never really understood what I was to do, And had me Miles Davis kinda blue I flipped the switch and put the rock in my show, overseas and had 'em cop cars whipping slow They're looking for me I was bad with a black Eating in the game, Pacman The only is not a game, I've got kids looking at me, saying "What a shame! so underrated, he should have sold more Should've had a one record with his own tour. Look at his show, look how we touch 'em keys, Look how 'em girls scream when he to his knees! Look how he pour his out when he tell his story." i i had to spill my guts so i could get my glory!
Listen, Have you even seen such determination? it all, I'm still a theme for the adulation. Everything I wrote I did it form the heart Never had a top ten but you respect my art. I'm in the club and they send me free bottles, Still that G-55 with a super model. my reality, this ain't no show, brother Go check my on the February Vogue cover And catch me through the city in that silver Jeep screaming "Oh, that's Ryan Leslie," Yeah, they know it's me I'm not ashamed at all, in fact I my story, No matter what it takes oh keep my glory!
Sh-t! The glory, it to me! oh, oh! I get it The glory, it to me!
You me why I'm rapping, Well I you the reason, The same reason you're hating when you should be It's in your heart to hate, in my heart to win, So yeah, I'm rapping now, let the begin! I write my own records, my own checks, Wonder which hotel and which city I'm home next! One thing i for sure, one thing that's mandatory, I owe it all to God, I him all the glory!
Sh-t! The glory, it to me! oh, oh! (x3) get my glory, it to me! (x2)
