Was it all for the glamour
and the glory
Was it because you
hated the laboratory
Loathing the ordinary
cookie cutter kinda boring
Life at the office mining
data into categories
Did you travel on the wide path
Wanting the minimal battle
without the sidetracks
Little work big money
in a flash
Get it fast flying high
it’s a fly trap
Field of vision looking narrow
down the monkey barrel
Compared to all
these little sparrows
I’m a pharaoh boi
Wow I’m so full of myself
I’m fooling myself by setting
jewels under my shell
Imitation pearls all
for the mademoiselle
It won’t work
I’m an overzealous gazelle
Tryna stand up to the lions
at the ring of the bell
Oh well dinner time
say your final farewell
I don’t think
you’ve counted properly
The cost of living life this way yea
You’re lost in the glamour
and the lights
Have we all miscalculated
Maybe I’ve miscalculated yea
Had a vision so strong
I could flex on ‘em
That would last
for generations no bell bottoms
Building up my own empire voila
Without considering
the haywire squalor
Ooh just wanting big boy bucks
Tryna be a giant riding
with a big boy truck
Fee fi fo fum coming for your city
Man I’m feeling so
fly oh my so pretty
But tell me now but tell me now
What’s the point of having power
if it’s only for yourself
oh no but tell me now tell me now
What’s the point of having clout
if it’s only for your wealth
oh no don’t forget
about the greater mission
Good fruit for the world
looking out for your nutrition
Too many times
I‘m caught up in a rut
Hands busy on the plow
when they should be pointed up trust
Him
I don’t think
you’ve counted properly
The cost of living life this way yea
You’re lost in the glamour
and the lights
Have we all miscalculated
Maybe I’ve miscalculated yea
Where do I go from here
where do I go from here
tell me tell me
Where do I go from here
where do I go from here
tell me
Where do I go from here
where do I go from here
Lord here I am please send me
I’ll follow forever and ever yea yea
I don’t think
you’ve counted properly
The cost of living life this way yea
You’re lost in the glamour
and the lights
Have we all miscalculated
Maybe I’ve miscalculated yea
I don’t think
you’ve counted properly
The cost of living life this way yea
You’re lost in the glamour
and the lights
Have we all miscalculated
Maybe I’ve miscalculated yea
I don’t think
you’ve counted properly
The cost of living life this way yea
You’re lost in the glamour
and the lights
Have we all miscalculated
Maybe I’ve miscalculated yea
