Glorious
Tkay Maidza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go 'head and talk your talk
Me and my team, we just float
We sit above the flock
Built our throne with all your stones
We're planning for the fall
We're dancing on the wall
'Til we rule it all
What do we have to lose?
Tangerine sunset, brown bag sippin'
What do we got to prove?
When we know
We're made of gold
With aligning souls
Watch us glow
In screaming color
We break the mold
We're bright and bold
Electric gold
Oh, we're hot blooded
We're glorious
We're glorious
G—g—g—g—glorious
We're glorious
G—g—g—g—glorious
Diamond halos on our heads
And combats on our feet
Made without a silver spoon
Not richer than the kings
Roaming through the haunted grounds
So we remain unseen
Don't tell us who to be
Rebels off the leash
What do we have to lose?
Tangerine sunset, brown bag sippin'
What do we got to prove?
When we know
We're made of gold
With aligning souls
Watch us glow
In screaming color
We break the mold
We're bright and bold
Electric gold
Oh, we're hot blooded
We're glorious
We're glorious
G—g—g—g—glorious
We're glorious
G—g—g—g—glorious
What do we have to lose?
Tangerine sunset, brown bag sippin'
What do we got to prove?
When we know
We're made of gold
With aligning souls
Watch us glow
In screaming color
We break the mold
We're bright and bold
Electric gold
Oh, we're hot blooded
We're glorious
We're glorious
G—g—g—g—glorious
We're glorious
G—g—g—g—glorious
The opening of the song "Glorious" by Tkay Maidza paints a picture of being watched by others with envy, looking up at her and her team from below as they confidently move forward with their plans. The lyrics seem almost symbolic of a power struggle or a quest for success, with the use of words such as "throne," "stones," and "planning for the fall." Despite this, Tkay's lyrics assert a sense of contentment with where they are, feeling no need to prove themselves to others. The lyrics suggest that Tkay and her team are akin to precious metals, made of gold with aligning souls, and that their presence is powerful and undeniable. The second verse further cements the theme of rising above the odds and rejecting societal norms in order to succeed on one's own terms. These lyrics make the song a celebration of the personal journey to greatness, with the implication that each listener can achieve their own "glory."
