The Glass Egg - Wale

The Glass Egg - Wale
And they say don't ever change change on me
Although beautiful matrimony is a rapper balancing your women
Your riches and at least half your homies
You're at the top don't crack
I've been doing my own thing
And they said don't never change
And I pray I stay the same
Want everything for everybody 'round me
I've been doing my own thing
And we said we'd never change
And I pray we stay the same
Fame changin' everybody 'round me
OK good business with mad friends and we said we'd never change
But bad business with mad friends aha glass egg
Me and you was chillin' though
Now that sh*t got cold like the OG with that finger roll
That Spur probably cop it cause the more wallace
And it's worse when they even in their fillings of your pockets
Then I got my deal
Started wondering if them with me are for real
Mmm I figure them'll do it not us
Mmm the bond was thick now just the blot is
And isn't it ironic getting a name can make you anonymous
My newest of hobbies collecting calls from the lock-ups
Tell 'em I know he's so sick of the walls
When he get home he going shopping
Mmm look at the time that caught us
Talked to the Times when younger and made me get my life in order
Real in it for life but now look at the price
But now look at that register everything in here slight
Mmm cause I'm Jah doin' aight
Look at how the moral of the story but don't see its advice
It's right it's like life is like a glass egg
Tryna maintain what come with the fame and keeping your last friends
Yeah you know that balance of
Cause who on your back or who got your back
I promise the line is this thin really
You know that balance of
Cause who on your back or who got your back
I promise the line is this
I got this glass egg somehow on the top of this
Balanced on the top of this mountain you know
I don't know how I got it there exactly
But I see it's there and I got to end this with the right feeling
I've been doing my own thing
And they said don't never change
And I pray I stay the same
Want everything for everybody 'round me
I've been doing my own thing
And we said we'd never change
And I pray we stay the same
Fame changin' everybody 'round me
OK good business with mad friends and we say we never change
Bad business with mad friends aha glass egg
Who would have figured or guessed it pa
Look at you there since Contra kept the code but you've got extra men
Told you I would get this straight told you once I got big
It's lonely at the top by the population looking in ahh
Then I got my deal
Started wondering if them with me are for real
Sometimes the mighty let the devil in
Yeah now salutations to my former friends
Forming to form against me is currently your form of defense
And now it hurts me to say sometimes your sandbox
Equipped for dirty exchange now was it
Or that bling in a hurt or sustain at curtain calls
One of two that either boo or bouquets so was it
Worth of your fam or worth all tha fame
Exchange your personal relationships for personal gains
I'm telling you balance is a b**ch
Cause when you're back who got your back
I promise the line is this thin really uh
I'm telling you about
Cause when you're back who got your back
Sometimes that line don't exist I'm out
I've been doing my own thing
And they said don't never change
And I pray I stay the same
Want everything for everybody 'round me
I've been doing my own thing
And we said we'd never change
And I pray we stay the same
Fame changin' everybody 'round me
I've been doing my own thing
And they said don't never change
And I pray we stay the same
I've been doing my own thing
And we said we'd never change
And I pray we stay the same
Fame 'round me
