Was it all for the glamour 
and the glory 
Was it because you 
hated the laboratory 
Loathing the ordinary 
cookie cutter kinda boring 
Life at the office mining 
data into categories 
Did you travel on the wide path 
Wanting the minimal battle 
without the sidetracks 
Little work big money 
in a flash 
Get it fast flying high 
it’s a fly trap 
Field of vision looking narrow 
down the monkey barrel 
Compared to all 
these little sparrows 
I’m a pharaoh boi 
Wow I’m so full of myself 
I’m fooling myself by setting 
jewels under my shell 
Imitation pearls all 
for the mademoiselle 
It won’t work 
I’m an overzealous gazelle 
Tryna stand up to the lions 
at the ring of the bell 
Oh well dinner time 
say your final farewell 
I don’t think 
you’ve counted properly 
The cost of living life this way yea 
You’re lost in the glamour 
and the lights 
Have we all miscalculated 
Maybe I’ve miscalculated yea 
Had a vision so strong 
I could flex on ‘em 
That would last 
for generations no bell bottoms 
Building up my own empire voila 
Without considering 
the haywire squalor 
Ooh just wanting big boy bucks 
Tryna be a giant riding 
with a big boy truck 
Fee fi fo fum coming for your city 
Man I’m feeling so 
fly oh my so pretty 
But tell me now but tell me now 
What’s the point of having power 
if it’s only for yourself 
oh no but tell me now tell me now 
What’s the point of having clout 
if it’s only for your wealth 
oh no don’t forget 
about the greater mission 
Good fruit for the world 
looking out for your nutrition 
Too many times 
I‘m caught up in a rut 
Hands busy on the plow 
when they should be pointed up trust 
Him 
I don’t think 
you’ve counted properly 
The cost of living life this way yea 
You’re lost in the glamour 
and the lights 
Have we all miscalculated 
Maybe I’ve miscalculated yea 
Where do I go from here 
where do I go from here 
tell me tell me
Where do I go from here
where do I go from here
tell me
Where do I go from here
where do I go from here
Lord here I am please send me
I’ll follow forever and ever yea yea
I don’t think
you’ve counted properly
The cost of living life this way yea
You’re lost in the glamour
and the lights
Have we all miscalculated
Maybe I’ve miscalculated yea
I don’t think
you’ve counted properly
The cost of living life this way yea
You’re lost in the glamour
and the lights
Have we all miscalculated
Maybe I’ve miscalculated yea
I don’t think
you’ve counted properly
The cost of living life this way yea
You’re lost in the glamour
and the lights
Have we all miscalculated
Maybe I’ve miscalculated yea
