Lyrics Christon Gray – No. 51 (The Glory, Pt. 2)

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
Baby it’s been a long road
It’s been a long road
Baby, you know it’s been a long road

It’s not over yet, we’ve only just begun
Not much time is left, gotta to get to 51
Let’s go, I know we’ll have some fun
Ohhh deep in my heart you’ll always be
When I need to run, far away from everyone
No. 51, shade is cooler in the sun
Let’s go
Deep in your heart I’ll always be

Goodnight…
Goodnight folks, fell asleep reading the Bible
When I’m dreaming, I can hear my mother singin’ them high notes
I see a bunch of people in life boats
They wanna keep me under, but I’m tryna stay afloat
I’m back to the day I wrote my first battle rhyme
Broke the soul of that weepin’ brother, they formin’ a line so I said, «Hey
Keep em’ comin.» Even though, all I play is Stevie Wonder
I don’t really know no hip- hop, I grew up on CeCe Winans
Yo, I ain’t’ fit in for a while
They’d be partying, I would sit Indian style
Watchin’ all my friends, that was back then and it’s wild
In the audience, they be like «Chris!» and I smile
You be thinking I changed, but you don’t know the half
And even if you did, man that’s only half
But, God gave me something I can only have
My own shade, I’m cool with a lonely path

It’s not over yet, we’ve only just begun

I didn’t know the kid would grow to love his difference
Was living for appearance or what people say
A miracle to really go through the transition
From indigo to loving on the deepest shade of me
When I dropped School of Roses that was one side of me
I was just tryna show you, what you didn’t wanna see
Now I’m waking up every morning, to play the hand I been dealt
‘Cause I felt like you knew me, when I didn’t know myself

It’s not over yet, we’ve only just begun
Not much time is left, gotta to get to 51
Let’s go, I know we’ll have some fun
Ohhh deep in my heart you’ll always be
When I need to run, far away from everyone
No. 51, shade is cooler in the sun
Let’s go
Deep in your heart I’ll always be
