Glow
J-TRAX Lyrics

People come around when the money go up
When money increases, people start to associate themselves with you.

Back then they used to laugh then I had to show up
In the past, people used to ridicule him, but he proved them wrong with his success.

Fake love in my face made me wanna throw up
False affection shown to him by some people made him feel sick of it.

Gotta keep my circle tighter every time I glow up
With every increase in his status or success, he needs to be more careful in selecting trustworthy people in his inner circle.

This shit a game but it ain't the same
Life is like a game, but the rules keep changing over time.

It feel like Cupid hit a stain and he shot like dame
His love life feels like it's been stained with pain, and it hurts like a shot from an expert basketball player.

Ain't no more sunshine in the clouds yo loving made it rain
His life is gloomy, and the love that he once had has turned into tears.

Wish I was there to see you smile I went through that pain
He wishes he could be there to see someone happy like he experienced but is now feeling the same pain as someone else.

Remember you rocking the red chucks bloody red like ketchup
He recalls someone wearing red shoes that were as bright and red as ketchup.

I lost my uncle I was head struck told me keep my head up
After the loss of his uncle, he was devastated, but he was advised to keep strong.

You made a promise to me told me you would never give up
Someone promised to never give up on him.

You on my couscous when I lay down make it hard to sit up
Someone is always on his mind, making it hard to move on.

You was just my main addiction Popping out I'm sliding wit you
Someone was his primary addiction, and he would go wherever they went.

Pokémon I gotta get you Hiding out I'm hiding with you Gotta plan I'm plotting with you
He has a strategy with someone to get something they both want, and they are in it together, even when hiding or planning.

I ain't gone lie I miss you I wipe my eyes with tissue Houston we gotta issue
He admits to feeling alone without someone and wipes his tears, while acknowledging that there is a problem they must resolve together.

Jogging like I'm Tyreek I peace out to all my homies
He bids farewell to his friends while running like Tyreek, who is a famous athlete.

I just want somebody to hold on to when I'm lonely
He desires somebody to comfort him during his lonely moments.

All that hate addicting got you smoking on that Phony
The negativity and hate he encounters are addictive and cause people to smoke fake substances.

Bull shit in the air he hit a square I smoke a stoney
Even when there is nonsense or upset in the air, he remains calm and smokes a joint to relax.

It's a shame we only get one life
It's unfortunate that people only have one life to live.

And it's a shame we only get get one try
People only get one opportunity to achieve their goals in life.

And it's a shame of what money could buy
Money can buy temporary happiness, which is a shame because it doesn't last forever.

Shit ain't the same so I'm still asking why
Things are not the same, and he is still trying to understand why.

I can't maintain with all these flashing lights
He cannot handle the attention and publicity he receives with his success.

Bury my pain and dilate my eyes
He tries to numb his emotional pain by dilating his pupils.

Bury my name and hold my head up high
He hides his identity and reputation to avoid attention and holds his head up high with pride.

Love in my veins but all my loving died
He still has love within him, but he feels like he has lost the ability to love.

People come around when the money go up
When money increases, people start to associate themselves with you.

Back then they used to laugh then I had to show up
In the past, people used to ridicule him, but he proved them wrong with his success.

Fake love in my face made me wanna throw up
False affection shown to him by some people made him feel sick of it.

Gotta keep my circle tighter every time I glow up
With every increase in his status or success, he needs to be more careful in selecting trustworthy people in his inner circle.
