He's so underrated, he should have sold 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! how he pour his heart out when he tell his story." i guess i had to my guts so i could get my glory!
Listen, you ever even seen such determination? Despite it all, I'm a theme for the adulation. Everything I ever wrote I did it the heart Never had a top ten but you still my art.

It's my reality, this ain't no show, Go check my girl on the February Vogue And catch me whipping through the in that silver Jeep Kids screaming "Oh, that's Ryan Leslie," Yeah, they know me I'm not ashamed at all, in I love my story, No matter what it takes oh I'ma 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, I give you the reason, The reason you're hating when you should be believing It's in your heart to hate, in my heart to win, So yeah, I'm now, let the hating begin! I write my own records, my own checks, Wonder which hotel and city I'm calling home next! One i know 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)
