The Glory, Pt. 1
Navigating Life's Maze: A Journey of Pleasure, Pain, and Glory
Lyrics
After you work, make sure that you play
Balance work and play to avoid isolation.
'Cause too much of one leaves you all on your own
Excessive focus on one aspect of life can lead to loneliness.
Determine our worth, pleasure and pain
Our value is determined by the interplay of pleasure and pain.
Keep fighting the thorn piercing flesh through the bone
Continue to endure challenges, symbolized by the thorn piercing through bone.
I wish you would go, I wish you would stay
Expressing ambivalence—wishing for both departure and presence.
I wish that tomorrow was already told
Anticipation for the future, desiring clarity in what lies ahead.
I live on this earth, not knowing my fate
Living on Earth with an uncertain destiny, trusting the Lord with heart and soul.
Entrusting the Lord with my heart and my soul
Dependence on faith in God amid life's uncertainties.
Counting my days, caught in this maze
Reflecting on the passage of time, navigating life's complexities.
Giving up praise for this ride 'til it's over
Sacrificing praise for the journey until its completion.
Feet on the ground, I reach for the stars
Grounded in reality but aspiring for lofty goals.
Dodging the darts that seem to come my way
Avoiding obstacles or negativity that comes one's way.
Now i'm playing this game, hating the score
Engaged in life's challenges, discontent with the current situation.
I think I'm in love, and I go back and forth
Expressing conflicting feelings about love.
I guess I'll wait to find out what glory looks like
Await discovering the true nature of glory.
Swaggers just overrated
Rejecting the overemphasis on superficial style and attitude.
Sliding in my lane and I'm kicking the door down
Assertive in pursuing goals, breaking barriers.
Swimming up the river I know that I can't drown
Facing challenges head-on, aware of the potential for adversity.
I'm tryna do too much as a man
Striving to fulfill multiple roles as a man.
Plus it ain't good in my home town
Challenges in the home town, suggesting difficulty in finding success or acceptance.
High thoughts bringing the saints low
Positive thoughts impacting the reputation of the saints negatively.
Bright lights turn into faint glows
Initial brightness fading to a subtle glow.
So I'mma let the wind blow
Accepting the transient nature of success and fame.
I ain't gonna chase it though, this is my intro
Resisting the chase for fleeting success, presenting an introduction to personal philosophy.
Tell you how the story go
Setting the stage for the narrative, outlining the approach to the unfolding story.
