The Greatest

(album: The Calm Before The Storm - 2010)

[Ghetts:]
Today I feel like Cassius
Some might call me cocky
It's just the way I feel when I write, you know?
Above the rest
Hahahaha

[Shola Ama:]
You're listening out for me (Yeah)
It feels so good, sounds so sweet (You know why)
Oh, yeah, I'm back, this is the latest (That's right)
You know what time it is
Because I'm the greatest (The best)

[Ghetts:]
I come across overly confident
So sure, I'm a bottomless pit
No flaws, I be the best in this
I'm a perfectionist
I'm on some perfection shit
The only question is
How much better can I be?
I respect less but I'm better than the beat
You won't find a better MC
Carry on searching
You won't find one, you won't find none
Who can do what I've done?
Last year, so many artists said, "watch when 2009 comes"
"I ain't had a year, next year's my one"
Yeah right, I swear
I run this, no one's getting airtime
Sky's the limit and I'm an airline

[Shola Ama:]
You're listening out for me
It feels so good, sounds so sweet
Oh, yeah, I'm back, this is the latest
You know what time it is
Because I'm the greatest (The best)

[Ghetts:]
No one's greater than Ghetts
Summer's great as it gets
I deserve major respect
But I'm looking for the globe
Twenty five bookings in a row
Yo, that's what I call a chain of events
Ladies and gents
I know I blow my own trumpet
If I don't, then who will? No one
Some say I'm arrogant because I'm adamant
I'm the one
Overall, under none
It's not too close to core
I've become inspiration for the young
And old fans know my situation has come to a point where
Man wanna sound like me like, say I got a voice spare
But imitation can't run, so, I hate when a boy dares
G-H was born to be great
Some say if I never had this flow
Then I'd be an average Joe, no
You could put me on any platform
In front of any crowd that don't know who I am
But I swear, I will draw them in
Four songs deep and nobody's left
If someone does, they've gotta be deaf

[Shola Ama:]
You're listening out for me (Can you hear me, now?) (You happy?)
It feels so good, sounds so sweet (I'm here)
Oh, yeah, I'm back, this is the latest
You know what time it is
Because I'm upgraded (The best)
You're listening out for me
It feels so good, sounds so sweet
Oh, yeah, I'm back, this is the latest (It's the latest)
You know what time it is
Because I'm the greatest (Yeah baby)

[Ghetts:]
Oh, here I go boasting again
My name and 'great'
Go together like boats in the Thames
I don't wanna hear nobody send
Anyone can write bars
Show another MC all day long but show me the pen
That writ Ghetto Gospel, 2000 & Life
Freedom of Speech and what you're hearing right now
None of them CDs can be easily beat
And you know that
So, it seems we agree
Don't lie, I'm a legend in my own right
That's why some man are getting me to ghostwrite
It's funny because I look back
They were telling me I'm so shite
Now they look swag when it's showtime
He's alright but he ain't me
I'm G-H, cheater E-A-T
Some man think they're running this ting
But when I tell them my [?] fee
I'm a [?], you're free [?]
And that's without VAT
Now I'm trying to get festival money
Because I'm looking at Tinchy and them like
Nah, this ain't acceptable money
And if I feel this way about mine then
Yours is [?] street vegetable money
My flow's out of this world
So, now I want extraterrestrial money
Too much dough to collect it, money
I'm obsessed with money

[Shola Ama:]
You're listening out for me
It feels so good, sounds so sweet (I'm here)
Oh, yeah, I'm back, this is the latest
You know what time it is
Because I'm the greatest
