Glass in the Rearview

[Intro]
(Skrrt, skrrt)
Yeah, yeah
Look

[Verse 1]
Came from the concrete where the streetlights flicker (what)
Pockets was empty now the deposits get bigger (yeah)
Mama worked doubles, I was watching through the window
Promised myself I'd turn our struggle to a symbol (facts)
Glass in the rearview, I don't look back no more (nah)
Every scar on my skin is a story I wore
They said I wouldn't make it past the corner store (they did)
Now I'm counting blessings while they counting what I'm worth

[Chorus]
Glass in the rearview, shattered but I'm moving (moving)
Everything I lost just kept me from losing (yeah)
Nights getting darker but the vision getting clearer
I don't recognize the stranger in the mirror (skrrt)

[Verse 2]
Two phones ringing, paranoia in my chest (ring)
Bulletproof the whip but can't protect against the stress
Homies turned to ghosts, got their pictures on my dresser
Pour a four out for the ones who never made it west (rest up)
Money change people, watch 'em switch up on the daily (switch)
Trust is expensive, can't afford to give it freely (nah)
Dreams of the penthouse when I'm sleeping in the basement
Now the basement just a memory, I finally made it

[Bridge]
Ayy, they want the old me back (nah)
But the old me broke, couldn't handle that (facts)
New me built different, reinforced steel
Every wound I caught just taught me how to heal

[Verse 3]
Now I'm sitting high where the air get thinner (high)
Taste of victory but still feel like a sinner (yeah)
Success is lonely when you can't share the dinner
With the ones who starved beside you through the winter (cold)
Little homie looking up, say he wanna be me (what)
Told him stay in school, this life ain't easy (nah)
Blessings come with curses, read the fine print
Glass in the rearview—only forward from this

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah (skrrt, skrrt)
Only forward
Glass in the rearview
(Let it shatter)
