Nights like this

I know that they will treat you well, ohHide your smile, but I can always tell, hm

In pain, there′ll be glory

Yes, I start to think about the legacy you left

The young man who hasn't had his first breath

For a mother who can handle my stress

Even more, nothing less, put your hands on my chest

And feel the beating of my heart, as the dark settles

Pirouette through the past, to the last petals, yeah

The world loves me and loves me not

Your heart, the only other thing I got

I start to think about the legacy I leave

To the mother and the seed

To the people who believe

Late at night, as I let the pen bleed

To be the father with the magic up the sleeve

From the roots to the apple to the tree

Just another me tryna fall further out of reach

Another man bringing sand to the beach

But take the lessons ′cause the sands she can teach

Nights like this

I know that they will treat you well, oh

Hide your smile, but I can always tell, uh

In pain there'll be glory, mm

If you're bad, then do it

Pull the trigger on me

I miss my people

I know they miss hearing from me

I know there′ll be glory

There better be glory

If you′re bad, then do it

Pull the trigger on me, oh

Hide your smile, but I can always tell

I miss my people, I know they miss hearing from me

In pain there'll be glory, there′ll be glory

My dad told me this one thing, and it's very true

He said, sometimes, he said

"The parents need their kids

More than the kids need the parents"
