Nights like this
I know that they will treat you well, ohHide your smile, but I can always tell, hm
In pain, there′ll be glory
Yes, I start to think about the legacy you left
The young man who hasn't had his first breath
For a mother who can handle my stress
Even more, nothing less, put your hands on my chest
And feel the beating of my heart, as the dark settles
Pirouette through the past, to the last petals, yeah
The world loves me and loves me not
Your heart, the only other thing I got
I start to think about the legacy I leave
To the mother and the seed
To the people who believe
Late at night, as I let the pen bleed
To be the father with the magic up the sleeve
From the roots to the apple to the tree
Just another me tryna fall further out of reach
Another man bringing sand to the beach
But take the lessons ′cause the sands she can teach
Nights like this
I know that they will treat you well, oh
Hide your smile, but I can always tell, uh
In pain there'll be glory, mm
If you're bad, then do it
Pull the trigger on me
I miss my people
I know they miss hearing from me
I know there′ll be glory
There better be glory
If you′re bad, then do it
Pull the trigger on me, oh
Hide your smile, but I can always tell
I miss my people, I know they miss hearing from me
In pain there'll be glory, there′ll be glory
My dad told me this one thing, and it's very true
He said, sometimes, he said
"The parents need their kids
More than the kids need the parents"
