Gambit – Glad to Be Here Lyrics

It's been a long time since the beginning
I never thought I'd live to see a minute of winning
I'm getting taller but I also been thinning
I'm awful sure that I'ma turn into skin and
Skeleton bones, I never know and it's thrilling
The feeling that I'm growing and getting better is chilling
I'm only focused on building, not killing 
And I hope you'll join me God willing
I gaze in a daze at displays how the days arranges 
Names and faces and amazing changes 
And I thank far stars, then it all hit me
And I want to thank you all for coming along with me

Like aw yeah, glad to be here
I went from living in a pit to living happily here
There isn't anything limiting in the magic I feel
The passion is real, revealed and the path it is clear 
I'm going up, I'll never be subdued or construed
You come through it's "sup dude, I love you"
Even if everybody becomes unglued
We can stay awake waiting for daydreams to come true
Tough move, never gonna regret it
You bet I'm coming to get it, I said it and I'ma come prove
Whether we're dumb youth, stuntin' or uncouth
The truth is we're one in a hundred and gonna stun you 
Too, and I'm never gonna stop 
I'm forever prevalent giving everything I got
And I'ma never settle, I'm bettering every level 
Reinventing the definition of hot, watch

I don't need to peer in the mirror to feel beautiful 
It's a miracle, veering out the cubicle 
I don't need to peer in the mirror to feel beautiful 
I don't need to peer in the mirror 

Tell me
What would a man be without his fam? 
What would a family be living without its friends?
What's an engineer gonna build without his hands?
Like, what's an emcee without his fans? Damn 
I seen a lot of people thought I know to the bone 
Go it alone tryna be holding a load on their own 
When they coulda been distributing a little to pass out
But get up in a glass house throwing a stone 
Isn't it silly when you're feeling illegitimate,
Limited, pitied and getting sick of the sentiment,
Ready to quit it any minute and giving in,
But getting rid of friends that particularly give a shit?
Listen, it isn't feeble 
Inefficient or dissonant putting trust in your peoples
Although it seems enemies are deceitful
Evil people, they finna sow what they reap so 
We could leave the beef right there 
Breathe light here, be bright and speak your mind yeah 
Giving a care we could share ideas and spare 
A little bit of time celebrating life 
With an imminent affinity for living plentifully  
Giving a bit of sympathy to spread into infinity  
Shifting to what we're wishing to be 
Never giving up, loving unconditionally 
Additionally, I'm broke but I'm fixing to be 
Sitting in Poseidon's seat from a fish in the sea 
So till the minute beats with the mission complete 
I wanna say "Hey, thank you for chilling with me!"

It's like aw yeah, glad to be here
I went from living in a pit to living happily here
There isn't anything limiting in the magic I feel 
The passion is real, revealed, and the path it is clear
I'm going up, I'll never be stopped now or copped out
Locked down on a plot to pop loud 
Giving everything I got singing a lot 
Thinking of anything to pen and jot down for a hot sound 
Watch out, you're gonna regret it 
I said it I'm coming to get it I meant it and I'ma top out 
Whether the props compound or shots sound 
I'll never be walked or talked down, not in my town 
Wow, and I'm never gonna flop 
I'ma set the precedent giving everything I got 
And I intend on meddling, getting to every veteran 
And peddling direct to the top, watch 

I don't need to peer in the mirror to feel beautiful 
It's a miracle, veering out the cubicle 
I don't need to peer in the mirror to feel beautiful 
I don't need to peer in the mirror 

I don't really feel like I'm in need of a mirror 
To feel beautiful, 'cause my life is irrefutable
The bliss is living within existence 
And my appearance isn't as crucial as the usual
Truth is, I'm centered in the present
Intending every second to get better and better 
So I'm emanating eminence whatever the weather 
Tryna demonstrate intelligence in every endeavor 
I get a feeling, when I'm in pain that shoots straight through the ceiling 
That I got the strength for healing 
And when I feel incapable and pray to escape it
I'll make a way to go and stay no matter what life's revealing 
I no longer fear being judged by my peers 
Or letting anyone get to my head or lower my spirits
And it's clear to me what's inside 
Is integral beyond the limits of a physical appearance
I don't need a mirror to peer in to love me
'cause even when I'm hearing and feeling I'm ugly 
I do everything I can to be better and never let 
An opinion take a singular minute away from me 
Matter fact, I'm glad at that
I had to ask if I had a bad habit in my habitat 
Of looking back, the lesson I took in
Is I'd rather be a good man than good lookin'
So if you want the company come with me 
Going dumb, we bump beats and flood the street 
Then we're gonna repeat, throwing a show everybody can see 
You won't believe how much fun it'll be 

It's like aw yeah, glad to be here
I went from living in a pit to living happily here
There isn't anything limiting in the magic I feel
The passion is real, revealed and the path it is clear 
I'm going up, never to decline or rewind
I'll be fine, free minds and speak mine 
Living and loving, I'm coming from the East Side 
We ride and recline, bump the beats high 
Gleam bright, don't be getting offended
Or sweat it when the team shines and refines the design 
We flying, MP3 high 
And I'm freestyling, sheesh I unleash the beast rhyme 
So tell me what you gon' do 
When all of the troubles of suffering are coming in running to you 
And we're stuck in a rut again, buckle up for the future 
And move as we carry on through, true 

You don't need a mirror to peer in to feel beautiful 
We're a miracle and life's a musical 
You don't need to peer in the mirror to feel beautiful 
You don't need to peer in the mirror
