Greatness - Ace Hood, Killer Mike

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

Proud baby, 80s baby, blinded youngest son

You either dying for your dream or living for the gun

All we prayed to see the sun, aight that’s 21

Dialville it’s in my blood it ain’t just where I’m from

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

I now 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 dawgs I love 'em something we don’t say enough

Nowadays we talking assets I’m in a different brackets

Me and mine it’s easy path and we ain’t stuck in traffic

Higher self over high fashion

Well connected through a higher passion

I feel enlightened but also a savage

I feel the greatest shit that’s yet to happen

Lions and them tigers and them bears never scared me

Reaching out for something that may never even never be on

Awww look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness

Look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness

Awww look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness

I’m greater man, I’m greater than any hater man

I started out serving hand to hand in Decatur man

Slanging coke college dropout and overeducated

But that don’t matter when you broke and undercompensated

Your world will 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

Oh you a rapper huh, well sing something nigga

Lord I know I’ve been changed

And I’m still participating in a dangerous game

I went from rapping and capping and courting the fame

To arrive in to lives just to see that shits still the same

Niggas killing they migos over they egos (They migos)

Niggas killing they own folks and people

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

Expecting blessings but still ain’t learning our lessons

They call you brother but your brothers is confessing

At the sight of an early exit, police ain’t gotta guess it

Judas to Jesus, even true to believers

Brutes and Caesar, backstab and deceive us

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

The troubled waters I waved through it and brake through it

I made something for nothing man I made good

The lord made it better, my gratitude forever

Lions and them tigers and them bears never scared me

Reaching out for something that may never even never be on

Awww look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness

Look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness

They ain’t know it, they ain’t know it, they ain’t know it I was poor and I

feel righteousness

They ain’t know it, they ain’t know it, they ain’t know it I was poor and I

feel righteousness

Awww look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness

Awww look at they faces tryna take me from my greatness

Awww yeah they tryna take me from my greatness
