Greatness

[Intro: Ace Hood]

Uh

Uh

[Verse 1: Ace Hood]

This is extraordinary

Can't ignore it, this my story, I been more than ready

And this stuff I'm cooking up, this here like culinary

True intentions, must I mention it's just legendary?

Broward baby, '80s baby, Blondie's youngest son

You either dying for your dream or living for the gun

Or we prayed to see the sun or either twenty-one

Deerfield, it's in my blood, it ain't just where I'm from

Them folk gon' underestimate you, play you like you dumb

I nod my head and get my bread, you will not feed me crumbs

On the low, I'm with my tribe, I'm getting rich as fuck

Not only finance, my whole world is vibrant

Young tyrant, so immune to the sirens

Nowadays, I hear them sounds and send my prayers up

Tell my dogs I love 'em, something we don't say enough

See, nowadays we talking assets, I'm into different brackets

Me and mine, it's easy passing, we ain't stuck in traffic

Higher self over high fashion

One connected through a higher passion

I feel enlightened, but also a savage

I feel the greatest shit has yet to happen

[Chorus: Ace Hood]

Lions and them tigers and them bears never scared me

Reaching out for something that may never even ever be 'em

Huh, aw, look at they faces, tried to take me from my greatness

Look at they faces, tried to take me from my greatness

Huh, aw, look at they faces, tried to take me from my greatness

[Verse 2: Killer Mike]

A greater man, I'm greater than any hater, man

I started off serving hand to hand in Decatur, man

Slinging coke, college dropout and overeducated

But that don't matter when you broke and undercompensated

The world'll laugh at you, shame on you and embarrass you

And the police'll do it too as they harassing you (They will)

On your knees, cross your ankles, interlock your fingers (They kill)

Oh, you a rapper, huh? Well, sing something, nigga (No deal)

Lord, I know I've been changed

And I'm still participating in a dangerous game

I went from rapping and capping and caught in the fame

To arriving alive just to see this shit's still the same

Niggas killing they 'migos over they egos (They 'migos)

Niggas killing they own folks and peoples (Your people)

A righteous people, but, man, we moving evil (So evil)

Expecting blessings, but still ain't learning our lessons (My people)

They call you brother, but your brothers is confessing

At the sight of an early exit, police ain't got to guess it (They fucking snitch)

Judas to Jesus, even true to believers

Brutus to Caesars, backstab and deceive us (Bitch)

I been through it, just you as my nigga Ace Hood (Hood)

The troubled waters, I wade through it and prayed through it (We made good)

I made something from nothing, man, I made good (We made good)

The Lord made it better, my gratitude forever (Amen)

[Chorus: Ace Hood]

Lions and them tigers and them bears never scared me

Reaching out for something that may never even ever be 'em

Huh, aw, look at they faces, tried to take me from my greatness

Look at they faces, tried to take me from my greatness

They ain't knowing, they ain't knowing, they ain't knowing I was born into righteousness

They ain't knowing, they ain't knowing, they ain't knowing I was born into righteousness

Aw, look at they faces, tried to take me from my greatness

Aw, look at they faces, tried to take me from my greatness

Aw, yeah, they tried to take me from my greatness

Aw, yeah, they tried to take me from my greatness
