Be Great

(album: The Awakening - 2017)

Do you wanna be great
Do you wanna be (great)
Do you wanna be (great)
Do you wanna be great, oooh
Do you wanna be (great)
Do you wanna be great

It's time to shift the culture
Move with focus
Rise above, and lose the vultures
It's hard to fly when those that's close to you
Keep pulling you down, yeah
Off my chest
No more excuses
Scared to death, but I can't lose grip of
I'm scared to jump, I'm scared to fail
I'm scared of you, I'm scared of myself

But what is life if I can't be, great (great)
Great (great)
And if I die on my knees
Let it be 'cause I'm praying
And God's saying
Well done, well done

Cause I'm gonna be great
I'm gonna be (great)
I'm gonna be (great)
I'm gonna be great, oooh
Gonna be great, gonna be great
I'm gonna be great

Yo, yo, yo
Gotta be better than good at it
Swear the goal is to be bigger than everyone before us
Gotta show my son and daughter, that just because they your idols
That don't mean they won't be rivals, I'm looking at it like Iverson
And I'm just tryna show them it's all in the passion
I got dreams bigger than life, only I can imagine
Just when I thought my expectations
They was meant to be to have at it
That's why I'd rather over do everything than half ass it
That's why I remain to speak my peace and stand my ground
Keep my head high, won't swallow pride
Just take my time, won't compromise
With nobody, cause we all could be somebody (somebody)
Gotta figure out where you wanna be rather than just a wanna be
Darnell Jones, cause this is where I wanna be
A lot in my past but it's so much more in front of me
Greatness, history in the making, you can't fake this
Lately I been realizing its all of what you make it
Amazing its gracious, my gracious, I want you to embrace this
Dream that I'm envisioning and this life that we been living this
Never been this critical, some say that it's ridiculous
How we never given anti version but it's never been this urgent
The feeling that's so intimate, greatness
Jordan, Jackson, greatness
You, me, greatness
