MURS & SLUG - Glory Burning lyrics

rate me

[Slug:]

He threw his weapon in the trash dumpster

In the alley way, behind that Irish pub

Then he sprinted like Olympics down the street

Everything went numb except his legs and feet

His car was parked, just a few blocks away

He ain't gettin' caught

Nope, not today

And he can hear the faint sounds of the sirens

Time is short

And life's a sport

He tried to push weight like his Face had a Scar

Somebody got to hate and instigate at that bar

He popped that fool, like baby I'm a star

Now he's runnin' to the safety of his baby momma's car

Boy was born to be a soldier

Look over the shoulder as he took the corner

Nobody at the pub knows who he was

They seen him though

Either way, there's a vehicle

Down the street

It's within his reach

The cops are close

Hear the tires screech

Hand in the pocket

Grab the remote

Then, pop the trunk yeah

Hopped in a closed it

Sittin' in the cold trunk space

But his head stayed hot from the sweat on his face

Got to keep his cool and think this through

If only he could fall asleep for a few

All thoughts crossed

Of how he got lost

Time is gone

Tryin' to hit the stop watch

Wishin' he could take it back to the simple

When the future still had some potential

From the childhood, playground jungle gym

To the concrete jungle that he's stuck within

Boy determines

No returners

Stay warm from the fire of the glory burnin'

[Chorus: x2]

[Slug:] And it burns

[MURS:] Glory burnin' in every soul

[Slug:] And it burns

[MURS:] Glory burnin' in every goal

[Slug:] And it burns

[MURS:] Glory burnin' in every war

[Slug:] So let it burn

[MURS:] But know what you're burnin' it for

[MURS:]

Who did this motherfucker think he was?

Ran up on who like he didn't give a fuck?

Who called the cops from inside the pub?

Cause it didn't take the who that long to show up

What made me think I had to take it this far?

What made me hop into the trunk of this car?

What would you do if your crew as at war?

What would they do to even out the score?

Where my boys at? They was supposed to have my back

Wait, I can't hear no footsteps, where the cops at?

Where I'm supposed to run when this trunk gets cracked?

Wait, where my girl at? As a matter of fact

Why ain't we pulled off and left without a trace?

Why didn't I listen when she said, "Baby wait"?

Why did I see disgust when I look into her face?

Why didn't I learn when I caught my first case?

When will the oxygen run out in this truck?

When won't I have to prove I ain't no punk?

When will the OGs catch a body for once?

When will I get a chance to smoke this blunt?

How could I think of gettin' high right now?

How could I do this to my woman and child?

How did I end up livin' life so fowl?

Never thought the glory would burn me, that's how

The fire within burns close to the heart

Keeps the live shit and the emotions apart

God forbid you mix passion with thought

Cause then you're only askin' for the drama to start

The cycle never ends while we live in denial

And wonder what it is to make the kid so wild

Who, what, where and when, why and how

But the answers to the those questions don't matter now

[Chorus x2]
