Behind That Glass Daddy finally came home when I turned thirteen, But life ain't always what it seems. Mama needed money just to keep us alive, So I learned to hustle just to survive. I still went to school every single day, Trying to keep my future from slipping away. Keeping my head down, staying out of sight, Living two different lives by day and night. Then I came home one afternoon, Silence filled every room. Everything was gone except my bed, A thousand questions running through my head. I stood there hurting, angry and alone, Learning a kid can lose everything he owns. Nobody waiting, nobody around, Just an empty house without a sound. Chorus Behind that glass, I watched my daddy cry, Never thought one day it'd be my life. Some roads are chosen, some find you instead, One bad turn and you're hanging by a thread. Behind that glass, I finally understood, How easy wrong can look like good. You don't know the cost till freedom's gone, And the silence lasts all night long. I made it through school and I wore that cap, Never let the streets take that. But when the last school bell finally rang, My whole world changed. No more teachers, no more rules, Just fast money and old tattoos. I thought I had the world in my hands, Didn't know I was sinking in quicksand. Then one day I walked that familiar hall, The same one I knew when I was small. Mama looked through tears and said, "Son, please change. You don't have to live this way." I looked back through that cold hard pane, Carrying years of hurt and pain. I said, "Mama... I hear every word you say, But something broke inside me that day. The day I came home and nobody was there, I learned the world don't always play fair. I'm not making excuses for the roads I've gone... I'm just telling you where this story comes from." Outro That old glass showed two different lives, A little boy... then a man inside. I prayed someday I'd leave it all behind... But first, I'd have to serve my time.
Lyrics
Daddy finally came home when I turned thirteen,
But life ain't always what it seems.
Mama needed money just to keep us alive,
So I learned to hustle just to survive.
I still went to school every single day,
Trying to keep my future from slipping away.
Keeping my head down, staying out of sight,
Living two different lives by day and night.
Then I came home one afternoon,
Silence filled every room.
Everything was gone except my bed,
A thousand questions running through my head.
I stood there hurting, angry and alone,
Learning a kid can lose everything he owns.
Nobody waiting, nobody around,
Just an empty house without a sound.
Behind that glass, I watched my daddy cry,
Never thought one day it'd be my life.
Some roads are chosen, some find you instead,
One bad turn and you're hanging by a thread.
Behind that glass, I finally understood,
How easy wrong can look like good.
You don't know the cost till freedom's gone,
And the silence lasts all night long.
I made it through school and I wore that cap,
Never let the streets take that.
But when the last school bell finally rang,
My whole world changed.
No more teachers, no more rules,
Just fast money and old tattoos.
I thought I had the world in my hands,
Didn't know I was sinking in quicksand.
Then one day I walked that familiar hall,
The same one I knew when I was small.
Mama looked through tears and said, "Son, please change.
You don't have to live this way."
I looked back through that cold hard pane,
Carrying years of hurt and pain.
I said, "Mama... I hear every word you say,
But something broke inside me that day.
The day I came home and nobody was there,
I learned the world don't always play fair.
I'm not making excuses for the roads I've gone...
I'm just telling you where this story comes from."That old glass showed two different lives,
A little boy... then a man inside.
I prayed someday I'd leave it all behind...
But first, I'd have to serve my time.
