50 Shades

(album: The Glory Album - 2016)

Am I becoming more of what I never was?
I feel myself changing, I'm changing
Since the first day of school and such
Skipped study hall for extended lunch
Baby, is this the end of us?
Animaniacs, this is the suspended us
Wish I only had to ask for your forgiveness once
Wish I only had to ask for your forgiveness once
Can I get a witness, church
Call me Winston, downhill rolling bit the dust
See my queen on her own, I'm like I'll go dutch
And Julian has been my Uncle Dutch
Keeps a hundred dollar bill, no matter how I fill yep
Price is only getting higher, you can look but don't touch
He was saying I shouldn't be in a rush to add friends
We sort of like Mad Men, creative in the clutch
And he knows how I can be like Don Draper out to lunch
When my ego gets injured, I'll be looking for a crutch
Should be looking for an alter pleading for the blood
All day getting offers and even after dusk
I pray and I prey, seek while I hunt
I should've got off her they beat me to the punch
And It's gon' cost us, if we keep it on the hush
Wolves as sheep are quick to eat you up for dinner
Send you on your way sinner
Man I gotta watch who I'm amongst
Lord knows I'll be the first to announce my shame
Before you know my business though
First order of business bro
Please properly pronounce my name

I feel like the whole world waiting on me
50 shades, they don't know me well enough to cast me
Lately she's been on it like she tryna own me
50 shades, she don't know me well enough to catch me
50 shades

Seen a number in her phone I don't recognize
Something feels different, so different
I seen a brick wall when I read her eyes
But cheers to the future, I drink too much to whine
Cheers to the future, I drink to us, why?
Lover of my soul say we gon' be fine
50 shades, all I see without a ray of sunshine
Not a one not a Ray unless I'm blind
Maybe nocturnal, baby have a good night
These girls driving me crazy, baby have a good flight
Excuse me as I kiss the sky, purple haze catching shade
Since '86 maybe it's time
To come back to the ground
May I borrow your state of mind
Ever since second year of college in '05
Started me a saga during the Ci-era
13 dimes all at the same time
And it didn't make sense, then I met Christina
Her demeanor was indeed one of a kind
13 dimes turned to 13 ghosts
Started to see clearer, but ghosts never die
They keep coming back, even in year five
Now everybody worry like how will he survive
In turn I ask you, how can you deny?
Cause I'm sure than I can't be the only one there
Please come clean before you compare
And the more we've been in prayer, I'm feeling at ease
It ain't about speed, tortoise and the hare
God gave me wings, I'm like Jordan in the air

And I feel like the whole world waiting on me
50 shades, they don't know me well enough to cast me
Lately she's been on it like she tryna own me
50 shades, she don't know me well enough to catch me
I'm telling you the whole world waiting on me
50 shades they don't know me well enough to catch me
50 shades

[Kirk Franklin:]
Sir, it's your boy, kirk Franklin. I will text you, alright?
So dope to see you the other day
Your music is coming from a nice well sir
Stay hungry, keep chasing, alright?
You're free here, brother. You're free here
Alright, one

You know sometimes I can't believe it's you
They used to think that we in different lanes
We knew this could be dangerous
And I can't do what people do
Just for the sake of making it
It's such a love and hate relationship
Skyzoo, they playing favorites
And man I don't want to be like nobody else
But if it happens, it'll be a accident
I'll still be cool with it
Long as my album don't stay on the shelf
But I know this life is beautiful
Too many things almost made me forget
That this is what I'm called to do
Spitting the real, not the autotune
You know this game ain't for the faint at heart
I try to remember everything you taught
I hope you like the picture that you painted Art
And mom I know you wanna play your part
It's difficult to point this gun at the man I hope I don't become
For Mya, her mother, and me, don't leave, don't leave

A wise man once told me some words worth repeating
He said in this life glory is fleeting
In this life, glory is fleeting
