Glow
J.T. Peterson Lyrics

People come around when the money go up
When you start making more money, people begin to show up.

Back then they used to laugh then I had to show up
People used to laugh and make fun of me, but then I proved them wrong.

Fake love in my face made me wanna throw up
When people pretend to love me, it makes me sick.

Gotta keep my circle tighter every time I glow up
I need to be careful about who I let into my inner circle as I become more successful.

This shit a game but it ain't the same
Life can sometimes feel like a game, but it's changing and not as fun anymore.

It feel like Cupid hit a stain and he shot like dame
Love used to be a perfect shot, but something went wrong and now it's a mess.

Ain't no more sunshine in the clouds yo loving made it rain
You used to make everything feel brighter and happier, but now that's gone and everything feels darker.

Wish I was there to see you smile I went through that pain
I wish I were there with you again to see you smile, but I had to go through some difficult times and couldn't be there.

Remember you rocking the red chucks bloody red like ketchup
I remember when you used to wear those red shoes, they were such a bright and intense color.

I lost my uncle I was head struck told me keep my head up
When my uncle passed away, I was really affected by it, but you told me to keep my head up and keep going.

You made a promise to me told me you would never give up
You promised me that you would never give up, and I believed you.

You on my couscous when I lay down make it hard to to sit up
Thinking of you makes it hard to sleep and even harder to get out of bed in the morning.

You was just my main addiction
I was addicted to being around you and having you in my life.

Popping out I'm sliding wit you
I'm always there with you, even when things get tough and scary.

Pokémon I gotta get you
I need to keep chasing my dreams, just like you need to catch all the Pokémon in the game.

Hiding out I'm hiding with you
We're in this together and we'll hide from the world if we have to.

Gotta plan I'm plotting with you
We have a plan and we're working on it together.

I ain't gone lie I miss you
I'm not going to lie, I really miss you.

I wipe my eyes with tissue
I cry when I think of you and have to wipe away my tears with a tissue.

Houston we gotta issue
We have a problem and need to figure it out together.

Jogging like I'm Tyreek I peace out to all my homies
I'm running like Tyreek, saying goodbye to all my friends and leaving town.

I just want somebody to hold on to when I'm lonely
I want someone to be there for me when I'm feeling lonely and lost.

All that hate addicting got you smoking on that Phony
All the hate and negativity is addicting and makes you feel like you need to escape by smoking.

Bull shit in the air he hit a square I smoke a stoney
When there's a lot of drama and negativity around, I smoke weed to try to calm down.

It's a shame we only get one life
It's a shame that we only have one chance at life.

And it's a shame we only get get one try
It's unfortunate that we only have one opportunity to try to achieve our dreams.

And it's a shame of what money could buy
It's sad that people think money can buy happiness and success.

Shit ain't the same so I'm still asking why
Things have changed so much and I'm still trying to understand why.

I can't maintain with all these flashing lights
It's hard for me to maintain my happiness and sanity with all the pressures and attention that come with success.

Bury my pain and dilate my eyes
I try to bury my emotional pain and numb myself with drugs or alcohol.

Bury my name and hold my head up high
I try to ignore the negativity and criticism and keep my head held high.

Love in my veins but all my loving died
I still have love in me, but it feels like it's died or disappeared.
