Thru The Glass
[Chorus]
I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
It kinda feels like forever
No one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
I love you baby, what's your name?
Young Ca$his, let's go

[Verse 1]
As the tears rolls, year goes, another week you're gone
Just learned how to walk, wish I could put your shoes on
More bad news, oh, now I got a violation
Robberies, now I'm charged again over my probation
Baby, please walk slow, I don't want to see you go
If I die here, daddy's love, you would never know
Same thing on the street I be getting medals for
Got me through the glass, telling my baby I gotta go
Shake on my stomach 'cause my race be outnumbered
I ain't come here to be afraid of star running (Uh)
Dream about you daily, this thing I'm obsessed
Doing your head like you love your bright red barrettes
Watching you fall asleep with a bottle in your mouth
But to me, this what being a father's all about
Now I'm sitting in my cell with my pen in my mouth
I'm tryna figure out how to get out
[Chorus]
I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
It kinda feels like forever
No one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

[Verse 2]
You my firstborn baby, the first one that made me
Swear to all I'd do anything for you, being raised the
Opposite of me, look at us, they say
Now you dead, you gotta wheel and your name is wet
And I'm sitting in the cell and this cage with Satan
Trying to steer away from Hell 'cause a Heaven's waiting
But I can't see it, I ain't tryna be brute
I can't be it, thinking back, slitting my throat to keep my own freedom
Then, I get letters with scribbles, I read it
With circle, hearts, and squares, you love me and I see it
I never take you for granted again, please believe it
Lost a year of my life, without you, I stop breathing
I wish that I could backtrack, take it all right back
Again where I left you in chains, it ain't like that
So now, I smoke a Newport to the ash
Wish I could hold you but I'm only

[Chorus]
I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
It kinda feels like forever
No one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
[Verse 3]
On your first birthday, remember all I could do
Was take you to Taco Bell, split a Chalupa with you
On your second birthday, inside these walls reminiscing
How I'm missing you, you grow up every time you show up to visit
What is it? I know it's way too close isn't it
They taking that away when your thirty, manage to kick it
But before I go, I want you to know little missus
I promise you another birthday, I'm never missing
Put your hand on the glass, touch your hand through the glass
Having the flashes of smashing, snatching you up and dashing
Then I snap out and watch when you walk away and we crying
But you don't even know that daddy almost through with his time
And my emotions are high, wiping a tear from my eyes
'Cause you don't know that I'll be coming home to see you tonight
I pull up in the drive, I'm nervous walking inside
I see you sleeping, I'm creeping up to yell, "Surprise"
Then you jump up scared, 'till you recognize
That it's your dad, we hug with the same gleam in her eyes
Then we laugh, look up fast, time passed
Now I be on TV, and you see me, and I'm

[Chorus]
I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
It kinda feels like forever
No one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head
[Outro]
Ayy, I love you
And that's what it is
You see what I'm saying?
You can always have hope, man
'Cause I never knew
Knew that I'd be here
