Greatness

(album: Mission Hillz - 2022)

I ain't worried 'bout shit
Nothing, nigga
Uh
God
Eh
Ah

I just gotta pay my dues, all my Ps and Qs
Won't lose nigga, I refuse
I will not stress over shit that I can't control
Lord knows I got nothing to prove
I just gotta keep my faith, can't lose my way
Stay true to the shit I do
I will never fall for the traps they lay
I been on go, these niggas on cruise
I'm tryna be great
If you never had to struggle for the shit
Then I'm sure you can't relate
I'm tryna be great
Most of y'all never sacrificed
Worked long nights to the broad day
I'm tryna be great
How much can you take
'Fore you fold up and you break
Can you keep that pace, running that race
It's a marathon when you tryna be

Better than the motherfucker running beside ya
Use your blinders, can't waste time when you tryna be (great)
Where all the answers to your problems
Hope you find 'em, use your logic to accept your (fate)
Is it all about the bottom dollar
Is it all about the greasy pockets?
They're concerned with the swift deposits
Tell 'em I fully intend to fucking neutralize 'em
Put a motherfucker down, I'ma euthanize him
I adapt to the game and I move around 'em
I could lap any name that a whack nigga claim
Gotta claim for the fame, I could fucking drown 'em
Niggas better reload, it's clear to me, I see
That your batteries low, lo and behold, what do ya know
It's a little too late
You ain't even really got what it takes

I just gotta pay my dues, all my Ps and Qs
Won't lose nigga, I refuse
I will not stress over shit that I can't control
Lord knows I got nothing to prove
I just gotta keep my faith, can't lose my way
Stay true to the shit I do
I will never fall for the traps they lay
I been on go, these niggas on cruise
I'm tryna be great
If you never had to struggle for the shit
Then I'm sure you can't relate
I'm tryna be great
Most of y'all never sacrificed
Worked long nights to the broad day
I'm tryna be great
How much can you take
'Fore you fold up and you break
Can you keep that pace, running that race
It's a marathon when you tryna be

I am one day at a time, I got a process nigga
Motivated, I'm moving, you can't stop that nigga
If I want it I got it, I put the shit into action
I work on making it happen, it's not a question get it?
I could keep talking but you could see I live it
I am tapped in, you can feel I'm in it
Shit gets deep, my connections steep
I'm awake at the wheel while these niggas asleep
I'm a shark in the water, I'm 'bout to eat
I'm a wolf in the wild, I'ma find the sheep
One of these days you gonna have to ask yourself
Could you survive in the jungle without the help?
That's when the shit hits the fan, the heat will intensify
The pressure was never simplified
Then realize that we are in some wicked times
You either keep your faith or you could lose your mind

I just gotta pay my dues, all my Ps and Qs
Won't lose nigga, I refuse
I will not stress over shit that I can't control
Lord knows I got nothing to prove
I just gotta keep my faith, can't lose my way
Stay true to the shit I do
I will never fall for the traps they lay
I been on go, these niggas on cruise
I'm tryna be great
If you never had to struggle for the shit
Then I'm sure you can't relate
I'm tryna be great
Most of y'all never sacrificed
Worked long nights to the broad day
I'm tryna be great
How much can you take
'Fore you fold up and you break
Can you keep that pace, running that race
It's a marathon when you tryna be
Great
Great
Great
Great
