Glory

Glory on my chest, this name is not just mine;

Every drop of sweat my father poured into this bloodline;

Glory on my chest, this flag is who

I am;

When I score,

I'm not just scoring for myself;

I'm scoring for the land;

Turn around, see the letters on my shirt;

That's the reason I survived the hurt;

Glory, glory;

Carry weight to make it fly;

Glory, glory;

Now the world gon' know us by;

Turn around, read the name;

Every champion came from pain;

Turn around, read the name, we are glory;

We are glory;

I was seven in the dirt with the ball

I couldn't afford;

My father pointed at the screen and said, that could be you, my boy;

He worked three jobs so

I could chase a dream he never had;

So when

I wear this jersey,

I'm wearing everything he sacrificed;

Now the tunnel's clearing,

I can hear the crowd outside;

I stand them up on my chest and

I kiss the name behind;

′Cause the name in front is where

I′m from;

The name in back is who I am;

And tonight

I'm gonna make them both rise where they stand;

This ain′t just my moment, this is generations overdue;

Every prayer my grandmother whispered when the world had no clue;

For the ones who carried water so their sons could carry dreams;

I hear their voices every time the stadium screams;

Glory on my back;

This name is not just mine;

Every drop of sweat my father poured into this;

Glory on my chest, this flag is who

I am;

When I score,

I'm not just scoring for myself;

I'm scoring for the land;

Turn around, see the letters on my shirt;

That's the reason I survived the hurt;

Glory, glory, carry weight to make it fly;

Glory, glory, now the world gonna aspire;

Last minute of the game, score is level;

Tension high, ball rolls to my feet;

I see my father's eyes;

Not the man he is today;

But the young man in the photograph;

Before the world made him hard;

Before the dreams he had to pass;

I struck it clean, the net began to swell;

80, 000 voices, but

I only heard myself screaming;

This is for the man who gave me everything he had;

I fell onto the grass and

I wrapped my arms around the badge;

This ain't just my moment, this a generation's overdue;

Every prayer my grandmother whispered when the world had no clue;

For the ones who carried water so their sons could drink;

Carry dreams, I hear their voices;

Every time the stadium screams;

Glory on my chest;

This name is not just mine;

Every drop of sweat my father poured into this bloodline;

Glory on my chest;

This flag is who I am;

When I score, I'm not just;

I'm scoring for the land;

Turn around, see the letters on my shirt;

That's the reason I survived the hurt;

Glory, glory;

Carry weight to make it fly;

Glory, glory;

Now the world gon' know us by;

When I was a boy, my father told me;

Son, one day you'll understand;

That the name they put across your shoulders;

Is the only thing a man can lose;

Now, now, now I'm standing on this floor;

But the weight of love I'll never repay;

And when I turn around,

I hope you see your name;

Glory on my back;

This name is not just mine;

Every drop of sweat my father poured into this bloodline;

Glory on my chest;

This flag is who I am;

When I score,

I'm not just scoring for myself;

I'm scoring for the land;

Turn around, see the letters on my shirt;

That's the reason I survived the hurt;

Glory, glory;

Carry weight to make it fly;

Glory, glory;

Now the world gon' know us by;

Turn around;

My father's name, my father's name;
