Lyrics

The Greatest

[Intro: 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 [Chorus: 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) [Verse 1: 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 [Chorus: 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) [Verse 2: 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 [Chorus: 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) [Verse 3: 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 [Chorus: 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
