Greatness ft. NY.T.E Lyrics

Trying to be the greatest while I'm feeling like the worst

Putting pencil to the paper or I'll wind up in the dirt

When your brain says that it hates you, man, that shit can start to hurt

Put the knife inside my back, was the one I put there first

Look, can't nobody kick my ass any better than me

You might know about my past, but you don't see in my dreams

Got me fist fighting demons who've been there since a teen

And every night I catch a case of the goddamn screams

Nose bleeding, brain twitching, gotta keep pushing

If I don't help my homies make it, County Jail might just book him

Got me really contemplating getting busy with the stove top

And I work a little harder, this microphone gonna keep them Os hot

Never seen it coming like the flow when I switch it

But now at 16, gon' get me twice as much as a Zip is

I'm just trying to be the greatest, make it up out the system

So everybody that I love can start to see with new vision

Don't ever let them say that it is too late

For you to be great, cause greatness takes time

Don't ever let them say that it is too late

For you to be great, cause greatness takes time

Don't ever let them say that it is too late

For you to be great, cause greatness takes time

Got a homie who don't know that he's the goddamn GOAT

And everything he sees in me is why I'm keeping him close

When life was getting rocky, he just showed me the ropes

He taught me being a bitter person makes it harder to grow

My self-destructive tendencies, making sure they remember me

Had me missing out on some things that were probably meant for me

Then I learned to heal through soliloquies and some symphonies

Know it's hard to hear, but one day, they all gon' be missing me

People come and go, but know a legend never dies

I don't need to be the GOAT, just be the greatest to my guys

It was me against the world, but now it's me versus whoever

Cause with these bars I'm doing things, that's gon' be here forever

Don't ever let them say that it is too late

For you to be great, cause greatness takes time

Don't ever let them say that it is too late

For you to be great, cause greatness takes time

Don't ever let them say that it is too late

For you to be great, cause greatness takes time

Don't ever let them say that it is too late

For you to be great, cause greatness takes time

Don't ever let them say that it is too late

For you to be great, cause greatness takes time

Don't ever let them say that it is too late

For you to be great, cause greatness takes time
