D-Nice - Glory lyrics

"When they gon' give us the blue suits?" [D-Nice] Back in the civil war days of 1863 Was the year that free Blacks would try to adapt as soldiers Live as equals and get what's owed us And in this time they had yet to find inner peace Which comes from the heart and mind So listen close as I explain the story Of the regiment of blacks on the path to find Glory "Courage, spirit, and honor" .. on the path to find Glory "Courage, spirit, and honor" [D-Nice] Bust it, yo Here's an example of courage and strength That dwelled in the men that went the whole length To prove that each can stand as a man And demonstrate, he can carry his own weight But there was some tryin to add to the plight Of the black man, denyin his right to fight As an equal, for self-esteem Ran through the crew or so it seemed Cause even in times when life seemed colder He still remained proud to be a black soldier Waitin for the chance to advance And under the circumstance, managed to enhance His courage, and when put to war He'd do much more than what's bargained for And each man, that can tell the story Knew from the start deep down in his heart they'd find Glory "Courage, spirit, and honor" .. on the path to find Glory "Courage, spirit, and honor" .. break it down {*scratch: "here's an example of courage and strength"*} [D-Nice] These brothers have died and cried, for power and freedom But now look what we've done We're robbin and k**in our own race Black and rap will be lost without a trace So take heed to the knowledge I'm bustin You're sellin yourself short, that's "Self Destruction" The song I sing to let freedom ring So listen to the knowledge I bring as I speak about Glory "Courage, spirit, and honor" .. as I speak about Glory "Courage, spirit, and honor" .. yeah "Courage, spirit, and honor" "Courage, spirit, and honor"
