Glass House

Daddy was a no show
And mommy was a hustler
And we could've had a happy home
If only he could stay off the drugs
Dria was too young
And Nay Nay saw it all too much
And I was just a child when He said Papa's time was up
Glass house
Welcome to our glass house
Please come in our glass house
Welcome in our glass house
Don't leave yet
I'm 16 and we're homeless
Cause step daddy walked out
Tryna cope with all this stress
But the cries were too loud, yeah
I'm hiding my tears, I'm trying to pray
But it just kept feeling like no one was listening
(So I'd lie awake at night)
Gotta get it together, get it together
Gotta get up and fight
Glass house
Welcome to our glass house
Please come in our glass house
Welcome in our glass house
Don't leave yet
Sometimes you can't fix a home that's broke
Cause baby, there's too many stones that have been thrown
Yeah, yeah, I was young and so fragile
Game face, I wear masks now
Damon told me to chill out
Swear he the best, all hands down
He was there when the lights were out
Hurricanes had us stressing out
Did some things I don't talk about,
But all I want is to make him proud
Glass house
Welcome to our glass house
Please come in our glass house
Welcome in our glass house
Don't leave yet
Glass house
Welcome to our glass house
Please come in our glass house
Welcome in our glass house
Don't leave yet
I'm way too on
And this drink in my cup got me thinking heavy 'bout the shit that I've done
If ever you thought I was perfect, just know you were wrong
Cause I've got plenty of skeletons in the closet at home
And maybe you thought that you knew me and maybe you don't give a fuck
I'm just hoping you hear this and respect all that I've overcome
Cause I love my family to pieces, even when I don't call
Especially the ones that aren't here now
R.I.P. Mason and Snowball
Shoutout to mom
Shoutout to Damon
Shoutout to Dria
Shoutout to Nay Nay
I love y'all
It's just the beginning...

Mmm...

'Member when I had you sending me those pics like this ?
'Member when you used to whisper in my ear like this ?
Throw all my fucking money at your bills like this
Come home and try to play me like I don't know shit
Now I'm the one who's stupid cause I let you slip
When I could've took a bat to all your shit
But I just played it cool and pled the fifth
Said what I don't know won't hurt me, ain't that a bitch ?
But I knew
What you'd do
When you're gone
Said, "It's cool"
Now I'm done
Playing Mr. Nice Guy

I'm chucking up the peace sign
Peace sign
You got me fucked up
Man, you got me fucked up
Oh, so fucked up
Damn, you got me fucked up
'Member when I had you calling out my name like that ?
Hotel rooms and rendezvous with the ice
You were telling me one thing and doing another
I'd hate to have to fuck you up, but I will call my cousin
I was your black card, black star, shine so bright
Bitch, don't you even look at me, you'll go blind
And baby, good luck trying to find another ride
Cause you'll find your windows smashed, tires slashed inside
Cause I knew
What you'd do
When you're gone
Said, "It's cool"
Now I'm done
Playing Mr. Nice Guy
Ask your side piece why
I'm chucking up the peace sign
Bitch, bye

[Rxbyn:]
Mm mm...
Mm mm...
Mm mm...
Mm mm...
I've got my mind set on the right things
I don't know why, but I'm not satisfied
I tell a motherfucker off, then down these pills
Cause they expect too much, it gets too real
Yeah, but I've gotta put on a show
I've gotta hide it some more, smile a bit more
Show so much teeth that my cheeks hurt whenever they tell me that I've got it all
Ball
Do I ?
Do I really ?
Do I ?
Do I really ?
Do I really ?
No one asks if I'm alright
I find myself giving into my
Deepest fears and darkest thoughts
I try not to cry
But boys cry too
Boy cries too
When they're not 'round you
Believe this boy cries too
Boy cries too
Believe that
Believe that
(Peej)
[Peej:]
I was a young boy forced into a young man (young man)
Tried to stay in school, play it cool, stick to the game plan (game plan)
What I've been through, no one can imagine ('magine)
And I cried too cause my mind's like a wasteland
And the realest of shit, no matter how much I do spit
Happiness comes from within
And half the time, I have to force it
That's just my day-to-day motion
I have the notion that I need some help (I need some help)
But what pills gone do that I can't do myself ? (myself)
I've cried too (I need some help...)
And boys cried too (Stick to the game plan...)
And boys cry too
[Rxbyn & Peej:]
No one asks if I'm alright (And boys cry too)
I find myself giving into my (And boys cry too)
Deepest fears and darkest thoughts
I try not to cry
But boys cry too
This boy cries too
When they're not 'round you (When they're not round you)
Just know this boy cries too (When they're not round you...)
Boys cries too
Believe that
[Rxbyn:]
You don't have to be big
You don't have to be tough
You don't have to be loud
You don't have to be enough
You don't have to be violent
You don't have to hide your scars
You don't have to be the moon
When you're one of the stars...

Mirror

Staring at myself
And what do I see ?
Nothing more than a body
Not in love with myself
Cause all that I see
Are the flaws that you gave me
So why love, why love me ?
I know I'm difficult, I'm cynical
So how come you still want me ?
I'm not worthy, am I ?
Am I ?
Staring at myself, staring back at me
I don't trust myself, don't trust what I see
I know what I've done, I know who I can be
In the dark, when no one's looking
So I'm staring at myself and I loathe what I see
Don't like what I see
When I look into the
Mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror
I'm a feather in the wind
I'm a fragile piece of shit
And everything gets to me
Because I've been through a lot
But I'm the cause of it
And perfection just ain't me
Yeah, cause I'm the one up in the club
Looking for my next victim
To blame it all on them, don't put the blame on me
Hope they don't see what I see when I'm
Staring at myself, staring back at me
I don't trust myself, don't trust what I see
I know what I've done, I know who I can be
In the dark, when no one's looking
So I'm staring at myself and I loathe what I see
Don't like what I see
When I look into the
Mirror, mirror

I'm the one up in the club
Looking for my next victim
To blame it all on them, don't put the blame on me
Hope they don't see what I see
I'm the one up in the club

Noo...
Ohh...
Hey, beautiful
It's the way you walk
You know you a boss
You could have it all
Incredible
How strong you really are
But you put up a wall
So you can hide your scars, oh
I know he hurt you, but he didn't know what he had
And I know you better than you know yourself, girl, that's facts
And I see the way that you look in the mirror, so sad
That you don't know that
You don't know that...
You're beautiful
You're wonderful
You're everything
I need and more
Y-You're beautiful
Y-Y-You're beautiful
S-S-So beautiful
Hey- Hey, beautiful
(Y-You're beautiful
Y-Y-You're beautiful
S-S-So beautiful
Hey- Hey, beautiful)
Yeah
Hey, girl, tell me what's up
Tell me what's wrong, got you messed up
Hate it when you hide your tears, emotional
Got a little drama with these boys that don't deserve you
You ask why they hurt you
I wish I could tell you
Don't know how to love you
You're a queen
I know they hurt you, but they didn't know what they had
And they don't know nothing, girl, they was just talking out their necks
And I know this song probably ain't nothing that you'd expect
Cause you don't know that
Need you to know that
You're beautiful
You're wonderful
You're everything
I need and more
Y-You're beautiful
Y-Y-You're beautiful
S-S-So beautiful
Hey- Hey, beautiful

I can't love you, mm
Even though that's a lie
I can't have you, no
Even though you were once mine
I'm so sick, I'm a mess
All my friends, they hate it
Tell them leave me here
Cause I won't leave you here
You chose this for the best
All your friends support it
They don't want me there
Cause I'm no good, they swear
And you've got a beautiful, beautiful family
And a beautiful, beautiful wife
A beautiful, beautiful baby
And a beautiful, happy new life, right ?
It's unfair the way you pull me in without a care
And I swear I'm not trying to follow you everywhere
This shit burns in my chest
Like this drink I'm sipping
I don't even care cause you left me here
You broke me and my trust
I don't bleed, I'm impressed
And maybe you don't care
Cause I'm not who you're with
You've got a beautiful, beautiful family (family, yeah)
And a beautiful, beautiful wife (oh, no, no, no, noo)
You've got a beautiful, beautiful baby (baby)
And a beautiful, happy new life, right ? (right ?)
I'm not just some dumb boy you can hurt
And now it's too late to make this right
I can watch you put someone else first
And I can love you enough to stand by
You've got a beautiful, beautiful family (ohhh)
And a beautiful, beautiful wife (oh, no, no, no, noo, yeah)
You've got a beautiful, beautiful baby (baby)
And a beautiful, happy new life, right ? (right)
