The Glass Egg

[00:03.74] When they said don't ever change, mm
[00:10.56] Change your way
[00:14.16] Christette, although beautiful matrimony is a rapper balancing your women
[00:19.04] Your riches and at least half your homies
[00:21.25] We at the top
[00:22.78] Don't crack
[00:23.50] I've been doing my own thing (I've been doin' it baby)
[00:26.45] And they said don't never change (that's what everybody say)
[00:29.59] And I pray I stay the same (I pray)
[00:32.39] Want everything for e'rybody 'round me
[00:35.00] I've been doing my own thing (aye)
[00:38.04] And we said we'd never change
[00:41.10] And I pray we stay the same (turn the beat off ya)
[00:44.08] Fame changin' everybody 'round me (yo, yo wah)
[00:46.36] Ok, good business with mad friends (and we said we'd never change)
[00:52.23] But bad business with mad friends, aha, glass egg
[00:58.35] Used to be my homie, me and you was chillin' though
[01:00.17] Now that shit got cold like the OG with that finger roll
[01:03.30] That Spur, probably cop it, 'cause Dumars' trading Wallace
[01:06.33] And it's worse when they even in their fillings of your pockets, oh
[01:10.95] Then I got my deal
[01:14.05] Started wondering if them peoples with me are for real
[01:19.12] Mmm, I figure them'll do it, not us
[01:21.55] Mmm, the bond was thick, now just the blot is
[01:24.36] And isn't it ironic, getting a name can make you anonymous
[01:27.36] My newest of hobbies, collecting calls from the lock-ups
[01:30.18] Tell 'em I know he's so sick of the walls, when he get home, he going shopping
[01:33.18] Mmm, look at the time that caught us (word)
[01:36.10] Talked to the times when younger and maybe gettin' your life in order
[01:39.00] Real in it for life, but now look at the price
[01:41.59] Better not look at that register, e'rything in here's light
[01:44.55] Mm, mm, 'cause I'm Jah doing alright
[01:47.78] Look y'all the moral of the story, little c is a vice
[01:50.35] It's right, it's like life is like a glass egg
[01:53.73] Tryna maintain while coming to fame and keeping your last friends
[01:56.85] Yeah, you know that balance of
[01:59.12] 'Cause who on your back or who got your back
[02:01.00] I promise the line is this thin really, really
[02:02.94] You know that balance of
[02:04.89] 'Cause who on your back or who got your back
[02:06.70] I promise the line is this thin
[02:08.12] (I got this glass egg somehow on the top of this balanced
[02:11.89] On the top of this mountain you know
[02:14.37] I don't know how I got it there exactly
[02:16.00] But I see it's there
[02:17.46] And I got to end this with the right feeling)
[02:20.34] I've been doing my own thing (I've been doing it baby)
[02:23.67] And they said don't never change (that's what everybody say)
[02:26.62] And I pray I stay the same (I pray)
[02:29.51] Fame changin' everybody 'round me

[02:49.39] But bad business with mad friends, aha, glass egg
[02:55.47] Look at the years invested, who would have figured or guessed it pa
[02:57.74] Look at you there since Contra kept the code but you got extra men
[03:00.32] Told you I would get this straight, told you once I got it big
[03:03.27] It's lonely at the top by the population looking in, ahh
[03:07.09] Then I got my deal
[03:10.52] Started wondering if them peoples with me are for real
[03:17.03] (Sometimes the mighty let the devil in)
[03:18.78] Yeah, now salutations to my former friends
[03:21.79] Forming to form against me is currently your form of defense
[03:24.82] And now it hurts me to say, sometimes your sandbox friends
[03:28.00] Equipped for dirty exchange, now was it
[03:30.79] Worth all that bling in a hurt and sustain at curtain calls
[03:33.42] One of two that either boo or bouquets, so was it
[03:36.60] Worth of your fam or worth all the fame
[03:38.96] Exchange your personal relationships for personal gain, uh
