Glory

The most amazing feeling I feel
Words can't describe
What I'm feeling, for real (oh, glory)
Baby, I'll paint the sky blue
My greatest creation was you
You
Glory
(Oh, glory)
False alarms and false starts
All made better by the sound of your heart
All the pain of the last time
Prayed so hard it was the last time
Your mama said that you danced for her
Did you wiggle your hands for her?
Glory!
Glory!
Glory!
Sorry
Everything that I prayed for
God's gift, I wish I would've prayed more
God makes no mistakes, I made a few
Rough sledding here and there
But I made it through
I wreak havoc on the world
Get ready for part two
A younger, smarter, faster me
So a pinch of Hov
A whole glass of Bey
Glory
(Oh, glory)
Yeah
The most amazing feeling I feel
Words can't describe
What I'm feeling, for real (oh, glory)
Baby, I'll paint the sky blue
My greatest creation was you
Your Grandpop died of nigga failure
Then he died of liver failure
Deep down he was a good man
Goddamn, I can't deliver failure
Badass lil' Hov
Two years old, shopping on Savile Row, ooh
Wicked ass lil' Bey
Hard not to spoil you, rotten
Looking like lil' me
The most beautifulest this thing in this world
Is daddy's little girl
You don't yet know what swag is
But you was made in Paris
And mama woke up the next day
And shot her album package
Last time, the miscarriage was so tragic
We was afraid you'd disappear
But nah, baby, you magic (voilà)
So there you have it, shit happens
Just make sure the plane you on is bigger
Than your carry-on baggage
Everybody go through stuff
Life is a gift, love, open it up
You're a child of destiny
You're the child of my destiny
You're my child with the child from Destiny's Child
That's a hell of a recipe
Glory!
Glory!
Glory!
Sorry
Glory
(Oh, glory)
Yeah
The most amazing feeling I feel
Words can't describe
What I'm feeling, for real (oh, glory)
Baby, I'll paint the sky blue
My greatest creation was you
(Oh, glory)
