Glory Days Songtext
von Union Blak

Everybody′s wondering
Where hip-hop went
And will it ever come back
Truth is, it never left
We just needed a reminder
Where we came from, you know?
Let's go

The glory′s back just like it never left (it never left)
The beats is bangin', the rhymes stay fresh (we stay fresh)
We take steps on them paths that's paved (uh huh)
On our gracious return to the glorious days (you know)
The glory′s back just like it never left (it never left)
The beats is bangin′, the rhymes stay fresh (we stay fresh)
We take steps on them paths that's paved
On our gracious return to the glorious days


They say, the glory faded, Union Black gon′ re-shade it
'Cause sound is our color, fresh paint when we frame it
Behold, the big picture, worth more than entertainment
Being famous, how big or long your chain is
Nah, back to fabulous, Tribe roots and cannabis
Slick Rick, Rakim, when rappers was a catalyst

Ghetto analyst to show you what the talent is
The beats, rhymes, and life to overcome the challenges

We back at it with jewels, no black sewage is rude
The game′s broke, we gon' give ′em the tools, look here
Slick rhymes and spit shine
Them came from big minds and street cats flickin' like big signs

Streetwise with some big ideas
That professors couldn't see through some thick eyewear
So we wrote it in graffiti for the vision-impaired
Until the world realized it was a vision we shared
You hear it

The glory′s back just like it never left
The beats is bangin′, the rhymes stay fresh
We take steps on them paths that's paved
On our gracious return to the glorious days
The glory′s back just like it never left
The beats is bangin', the rhymes stay fresh
We take steps on them paths that′s paved
On our gracious return to the glorious days


What the government, the schools, and religion couldn't do
Got accomplished through hip-hop′s chosen few
To break old systems down, rebuild them new
And subtract division, giving people one view
A commonwealth of knowledge, street kings, no college
Beautiful ghetto queens, natural with no polish
Putting love on the line and love in our rhymes
So out of darkness, we let our love shine
Until the whole world fell in love with our minds
Our faith, our hope, and huge imaginations

The self-belief, we were born for greatness
Though the background where we were found was makeshift
The place where a Slumdog was quick to catch a gun charge
Now even presidents be like, "Yo, son's hard"
Fairytale story told through rhymes

With God's given power to blow your mind
It′s back

The glory′s back just like it never left
The beats is bangin', the rhymes stay fresh
We take steps on them paths that′s paved
On our gracious return to the glorious days
The glory's back just like it never left
The beats is bangin′, the rhymes stay fresh
We take steps on them paths that's paved
On our gracious return to the glorious days

The glory′s back
Just like it never left
Just like it never left
The glory's back
Yeah
The beats is bangin', the rhymes stay fresh

The glory′s back
The glory′s back
Just like it never left
Just like it never left
The glory's back
The glory′s back
Just like it never left

Glorious days

The glory's back just like it never left (it never left)
The beats is bangin′, the rhymes stay fresh (we stay fresh)
We take steps on them paths that's paved (uh huh)
On our gracious return to the glorious days (you know)
The glory′s back just like it never left (it never left)
The beats is bangin', the rhymes stay fresh (we stay fresh)
We take steps on them paths that's paved
On our gracious return to the glorious days
