Greatness

Greatness (greatness)
And man that's greatness (greatness)
I swear that's greatness (greatness)
You look into my eyes you could see what I see
If you could say the world won't be the same without me
We call that greatness (greatness)

And that's a blessing, but wait a second
Look, while we on the subject let me ask a question
What's the proper word for the fire that's inside of you
That makes you bring the hunger out
The key that puts the drive in you
The thing that makes you want to hit
Pick you up when you slip
The thing that makes you want to grip
And restart when you want to quit
The winner when you about to lose
Show them what you about to prove
And never fall back, what you call that?

We call that greatness (greatness)
We call that greatness (greatness)
Look into my eyes you could see what I see
If you could say the world won't be the same without me
And you know that's greatness (greatness)
We call that greatness (greatness)
Step inside me shoes, take a walk where I've been
Then they can say there'll never be another you again
We call that greatness

Ever wonder how the greats ever became great?
I mean really what did they do? What was their mind-state?
See it from another angle
Seem a little different, ain't it
Both had the same canvas, came up with different paintings
Try to figure it out
Hope that they can linger on them
But instead of reaching they just couldn't put their finger on it
Always want a cat-scan, an x-ray to try on them
Tell you one thing, you won't find the quit inside of them
Neither will you find it out
There's a million of them walking around
Same ones in the dream that Dr. King talked about
Ready just to change the world, ready just to make their mark
Same brains from the minds that 2-Pac had tried to spark
And it's very clear they all got to be winners
Cause the only way they could lose is when they give up
And when it comes to the pressure, it's just another level
I swear man it's something special
