Be Great

I've been trying
I've been blinded
By all this energy, swear that the enemy keeps on firing
Took me some days
But I still found guidance
Now I run with a vest
And I move in silence
Not holding a tech
I ain't really into violence
Just holding a check
Hoping that my family will be ight when

Shit pop off
Adding up things, what life cost
Trying to do good for the right cause
Help my momma 'fore they cut the lights off
Signs of greatness like a young Moss
Retaliation like a young mob
I need that spot, that's my one job
By 29, I'll be my own boss
But for now, I'm putting work in
Never stopping, nah that's for certain
Kill me off before you close them curtains
On this earth for a different purpose
Shit I got to find that
Seek the moment like a time lapse, can't rewind time but rewind tracks
When I'm feeling lonely, got a couple homies
Not too many of these niggas know me
Not too many of these niggas showed me
A fucking path I did this solely, for myself and I
Crush my dreams can't take my pride
Criticize can't kill my vibes, trip me up but won't break my stride
Nigga
Same independent artist, yea go figure
Young nappy nigga just tryna get ahead
Couple years from now when you see me in the Ville
Don't be surprised if a nigga got dreads
And don't be surprised if I got a little bread
Believe I worked for that
Wasn't on no corner slinging crack
Or on the east side tryna flip a pack
I look back and laugh, about how far I had to take this
This shit right here is crazy
This shit right here a statement
By the grace of God I made it
Could of been dead or probably faded
Now I'm to clutch like MJ fading
Hitting that buzzer beater, overachiever
Striving not just to make believers
Don't gotta prove shit to nobody
Same kids laughing in my homeroom, will be the same ones waiting for me in the lobby
Told myself "There's nobody that's close to me"
Muhammad Ali type of reach, not many brothers out striking me
Nigga

I told you today, I'm still the greatest of all time
Never again, defeat me
Never again say that I'm gonna be defeated

All in my
All in my
All in my
Look
All in my zone
Leave me alone
Plotting a plan to sit on the throne
Chasing my dreams, there's no in-between
Wait till I catch 'em, as wreck-less as he
Be on the T.V., discussion and repeats
He is the latest and greatest, what we need
And I figured this shit was way too easy
Run up the charts, on point like a dart
The game need change, I shoot for the heart
Please stay calm don't panic, a shark
Slid in your lane, now I'm taking charge
I'm ready to aim and bust no discussion, like hookers on corners, they lurk in the dark
Bounty on my head, I think I'm at large
Dead or alive, they want me to scar
Obtained the knowledge and pain so far
With no degree to put in my cart
Not in my prime, but I'm gone shine
And just keep a eye on me dawg, I got bars
And look how easy I climb up these charts
Since I got dough
I'm rising with hope
And heat from these verses, I be in my mode
Imma be giving the feins the dope
Without supply they hardly can cope
I be controlling this game, no remotes
They want me to hang, I took all the rope
I'm using it now to guide all my bros
Straight to the promise land
Made all these promises, imma complete 'em and that ain't a joke
When I make ends meet, I'm driving the boat
And that's on God, I never act fraud
Those are my niggas that help me explode
Got a advantage to take over planets, the people inside of my circle they know
This is my journey keep watching me grow
Sit down when you watch my shit like a show
And this is a marathon
Legend like Barry Bonds
Rest In Peace Nipsey, we talking 'bout G.O.A.T.'s
Better than most of these rappers I know
The skill is real, you reap what you sow
If someone don't sign me like right when they find me
Years down the road, I'm chilling with pros, I know
Years down the road, I'm chilling with Kendrick and Cole
Go
