HALF THE GLASS Lyrics by Omar Mansour

2024

Yeah
Yeah, yeah
I tried moving past the past
I tried to look at half the glass
10 years ago, feels like yesterday
Oh, we moving fast
Well, it's actually more like 13
A decade I spent hurting
But time promised me it wouldn't last
I grew up lonely, only had a friend or two
Same homies, we fucked around right after school
Wished for romance and a cute girl to hold hands
But things ain't go according to plans
Mom ain't never liked the girls I liked
Tell me you gotta fix your type
Tell her I got my type right
She said to get my typewriter, ha
Write songs to inspire and make bank before you retire
She was preaching to the choir, I'll put her on a flight
Never been places, I'll take you
Let's have some pizza in Rome
Don't eat too much
We'll stop at Paris, get us some fresh croissants
We ain't had a car, know you dreamt of a Yaris
Remember feeling embarrassed, going on dates picking girls in Ubers
Quarter a century alive without a license to drive
I graduated fixed that, got me something to ride
I paid the bills, saved up, got me a nine-five
Locked in making this tape, promised it'd change our lives
Look, top two and I'm not two
They'll disagree, that is not news
The music kept me centered just like Tom Cruise's front tooth
They always looking for angles
They tried my shoes, I wear sandals
I only do good for me
Oh, they obtuse
Still, still I mourn
What coulda been woulda been
I know, I know
Didn't know it'd last so long
What coulda been woulda been
I know, I know
I fell in love this year
But then fell apart
Thought she's the one, did that twice
Now I just stick to art
Personal differences
What hurts the most, we were so close
It coulda worked
Instead, I'm in bed writing this verse
Talked to dad today
And said he's proud
He said you"Habibi you've been the man even since a little child
Took care of you growing up, now you're the man of the house
Have the sun rise on your right when them things go south"
You hurting son 'cause it was close
But it ain't gone your way
What coulda happened, did happen
Now you watching replays
Take it from me, I've seen life
Got a full head of gray
Let go of potential, 'cause regret is the eventual
That's fate
Understand what you can and cannot control
Otherwise, you'll live a lifespan still trying to fill this whole
January's Spring, I know it still stings, accept what time brings
Son, it swung the only way it coulda swing
That shit affects both of our pasts
But only my future
You gotta forge your own path
Decide the lane that's gone suits ya
Don't use it as excuse
'cause then you gon lose
Yeah, some might had it better
But what you been through made you
Still, still I mourn
What coulda been woulda been
I know, I know
Didn't know it'd last so long
What coulda been woulda been
I know, I know
