Wale - The Glass Egg lyrics

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)
Or bad business with mad friends, aha
Glass egg used to be my homie
Me and you was chillin' though
Now that shit got cold like the


OG with that finger roll
That Spur, probably cop it
'cause the more I drink Wallace
And it's worse when they even in
Their fillings of your pockets
Then I got my deal
Started wondering if them hittas with
Me are for real
Mmm, I figure them'll do it, not us
Mmm, the bond was thick, now just the plot 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 while younger and
Maybe getting your life in order
Real hitta for life
Better not look at the price
Better not look at that register
Everything in here's light
Mmm, 'cause I'm Jah doin' a'ight
Look at how the moral of the story
But don't see it's 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 a bitch
'Cause who on your back or who got your back
I promise the line is this thin, really
Really you know that balance a bitch
'Cause who on your back or who got your back
I promise the line is this thin

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 said we'd never change)
Or bad business with mad friends, aha
Glass egg look at the years invested
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 hittas with
Me are for real
(sometimes the money 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 friends equipped
For dirty exchange
Now was it worth all 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 the fame
Exchange your personal relationships
For personal gains
I'm telling you, balance is a bitch
'Cause when you're back, who got your back
I promise the line is this thin, really, uh
I'm telling you, balance is a bitch
'Cause who on your back
And 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 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
For the 'round me
