Lyrics Greatness - Ace Hood, Killer Mike

Greatness

This is extraordinary
Can’t ignore it, this my story I been more than ready
And this stuff I’m cooking up, this here like culinary
True intentions, must I mention it’s just legendary
Proud baby, 80s baby, blinded youngest son
You either dying for your dream or living for the gun
All we prayed to see the sun, aight that’s 21
Dialville it’s in my blood it ain’t just where I’m from
Them folk gon' underestimate you, play you like you dumb
I now my head and get my bread you will not feed me crumbs
On the low I’m with my tribe I’m getting rich as fuck
Not only finance my whole world is vibrant
Young tyrant so immune to the sirens
Nowadays I hear them sounds and send my prayers up
Tell my dawgs I love 'em something we don’t say enough
Nowadays we talking assets I’m in a different brackets
Me and mine it’s easy path and we ain’t stuck in traffic
Higher self over high fashion
Well connected through a higher passion
I feel enlightened but also a savage
I feel the greatest shit that’s yet to happen
Lions and them tigers and them bears never scared me
Reaching out for something that may never even never be on
Awww look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness
Look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness
Awww look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness
I’m greater man, I’m greater than any hater man
I started out serving hand to hand in Decatur man
Slanging coke college dropout and overeducated
But that don’t matter when you broke and undercompensated
Your world will laugh at you, shame on you and embarrass you
And the police’ll do it too as they harassing you (They will)
On your knees, cross your ankles, interlock your fingers
Oh you a rapper huh, well sing something nigga
Lord I know I’ve been changed
And I’m still participating in a dangerous game
I went from rapping and capping and courting the fame
To arrive in to lives just to see that shits still the same
Niggas killing they migos over they egos (They migos)
Niggas killing they own folks and people
All righteous people but man, we moving evil (So evil)
Expecting blessings but still ain’t learning our lessons
They call you brother but your brothers is confessing
At the sight of an early exit, police ain’t gotta guess it
Judas to Jesus, even true to believers
Brutes and Caesar, backstab and deceive us
I been through it, just you as my nigga Ace Hood
The troubled waters I waved through it and brake through it
I made something for nothing man I made good
The lord made it better, my gratitude forever
Lions and them tigers and them bears never scared me
Reaching out for something that may never even never be on
Awww look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness
Look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness
They ain’t know it, they ain’t know it, they ain’t know it I was poor and I
feel righteousness
They ain’t know it, they ain’t know it, they ain’t know it I was poor and I
feel righteousness
Awww look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness
Awww look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness
Awww yeah they tryna take me from my greatness
