Glory
Jay-Z feat. Blue Ivy Carter Lyrics

The most amazing feeling I feel
There's an indescribable joy in my heart

Words can't describe the feeling, for real
It's impossible to put this feeling into words

Baby, I paint the sky blue
You bring color and vibrancy to my world

My greatest creation was you
You are my proudest accomplishment

You, glory (oh glory)
You are the epitome of glory

False alarms and false starts
Past mistakes and setbacks

All made better by the sound of your heart
You bring joy and peace, even in difficult times

All the pain of the last time
I've experienced loss and heartbreak before

Prayed so hard it was the last time
I prayed fervently for you to be born safely

Your mama said that you danced for her
Your mother cherishes every moment with you

Did you wiggle your hands for her?
Did you show off your cute little hands?

Glory! Glory!
You bring glory to my life

Glory! Sorry
I apologize for being so overwhelmed with emotion

Everything that I prayed for
You are the answer to my prayers

God's gift, I wish I woulda prayed more
You are a precious gift from God, and I'm grateful

God makes no mistakes, I made a few
I've made mistakes in the past, but having you wasn't one of them

Rough sledding here and there, but I made it through
Life has been tough, but I'm glad I made it through to be your parent

I wreak havoc on the world
I've been a force to be reckoned with

Get ready for part two
I'm ready for the next chapter of my life with you

A younger, smarter, faster me
I'm better, more capable now that I have you

So a pinch of Hov, a whole glass of Bey
You have the genes of two talented parents

Your Grandpop died a nigga failure
Your grandfather wasn't as successful as he wanted to be

Then he died of liver failure
He died from a health issue

Deep down he was a good man
Despite his faults and failures, he was a kind person

Goddamn, I can't deliver failure
I will not let you down

Bad-ass lil' Hov
As a toddler, I was already a troublemaker

Two years old, shopping on Savile Row, ooh
Even at a young age, I had good taste in fashion

Wicked-ass lil B
Your older sister was a feisty little girl too

Hard not to spoil you rotten, looking like little me
It's tough not to give in to your adorable looks

The most beautifulest thing in this world
There's nothing more beautiful than my daughter

Is daddy's little girl
You will always be my precious daughter

You don't yet know what swag is but you was made in Paris
You were conceived in a city known for its style and fashion

And Mama woke up the next day and shot her album package
Your mother was inspired to create music after your birth

Last time the miscarriage was so tragic
I feared losing you, like we did with a previous pregnancy

We was afraid you'd disappear, but nah, baby, you magic (voilà)
We were scared we'd lose you, but you proved to be a miracle

So there you have it, shit happens
Life can be unpredictable and tough

Just make sure the plane you on is bigger
Make sure you're prepared and can handle whatever comes your way

Than your carry-on baggage
Make sure you have the strength and skills to carry your responsibilities

Everybody go through stuff
Everyone faces difficult times

Life is a gift, love, open it up
Even with the challenges, life is a wonderful gift

You're a child of destiny
You were meant to be in this world

You're the child of my destiny
You were meant to be my child

You're my child with the child from Destiny's Child
You are Beyonce's child, and that's an incredible thing

That's a hell of a recipe
That combination is an unbeatable recipe for a successful life

Glory! Glory!
You bring glory to my life

Glory! Sorry
I apologize for being so overwhelmed with emotion

The most amazing feeling I feel
There's an indescribable joy in my heart

Words can't describe the feeling, for real (oh glory)
I'm so overcome with emotion, words can't express how I feel

Baby, I paint the sky blue
You bring color and vibrancy to my world

My greatest creation was you
You are my proudest accomplishment

Oh glory
You are the epitome of glory
