 Excerpt from Jay-Z's Glory  

The most amazing feeling I feel, Words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real Baby,

I paint the sky blue, My greatest creation was you

You, you, glory False alarms and false starts

All made better by the sound of your heart

All the pain of the last time

I prayed so hard it was the last time

Your mama said you danced for her

Did you wiggle your hands for her?

Glory, Glory, Glory Sorry, Everything that I prayed for

God’s gift I wish I woulda prayed more

God makes no mistakes,

I made a few Rough sled in here and there

but I made it through I wreak havoc on the world

Get ready for part two

A younger, smarter, faster me

So a pinch of Hov, a whole glass of B

Glory, yeah The most amazing feeling I feel,

Words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real

Baby, I paint the sky blue,

My greatest creation was you
