Greatness
My girl told me that she knows that we meant for greatness
The whole world should know what my name is
Less about the praise or the fame it's
More about success in the game that's making me want to say this
Hate feeling like I'm idle
Left my hometown so I could get a revival
Funny how I'm sitting in a room full of trash and a broom
Now I'm making more money than most dudes at 22
Really something to think about
I know that most niggas back home couldn't make it out
If you gone work all your life, then you might as well make it count
But just know that it isn't always bout what's in your bank account
Make it or fake it fake it fake it until you make it
I lost all of my patience and told them that I couldn't take it
Music is in my heart, so ya'll are gone have to stake it
If you think that I'm playing or don't understand what the motherfuckin' stakes is
I remember back in the streets we used to bomb hills
Kicking, pushing, dreaming about them long bills
Knew if I wanted it I had to be strong willed
Find myself reminiscing about them times still
Call my brothers every now and then to talk about it
Doing all the shit we said we'd do to those who doubted
Lost my mind somewhere along the lines, thank Yah I found it
Couldn't believe the way my aspirations started sounding
Realized that even though, content, I wasn't satisfied
So hungry for success, I had to quench my appetite
I thought about that shit so much, it kept me up at night
I'll risk it all and still be happy knowing that I tried
Leaving it all behind because I gotta go and get it
Dreaming about the day that I can tell them all I did it
If I fall I'm getting back up
Even if I have no backup
Falling down, get it back up
Bitch, back up like way back
The whole world should know what my name is
Less about the praise or the fame it's
More about success in the game that's making me want to say this
Hate feeling like I'm idle
Left my hometown so I could get a revival
Funny how I'm sitting in a room full of trash and a broom
Now I'm making more money than most dudes at 22
Really something to think about
I know that most niggas back home couldn't make it out
If you gone work all your life, then you might as well make it count
But just know that it isn't always bout what's in your bank account
Make it or fake it fake it fake it until you make it
I lost all of my patience and told them that I couldn't take it
Music is in my heart, so ya'll are gone have to stake it
If you think that I'm playing or don't understand what the motherfuckin' stakes is
I remember back in the streets we used to bomb hills
Kicking, pushing, dreaming about them long bills

Find myself reminiscing about them times still

Even if I have no backup
Falling down, get it back up
Bitch, back up like way back
