What does it take to be great
What does it take
Was it written in the stars is it fate
Or do you wait
Cause good things come to those who do
There's no debate
But I been plotting on seizing the day
I can't be late
Is it Thriller or hitting the game winner over Elo
Or what I project that others misconstrue as ego
I been feeling something brewing for sometime
Navigating through the lies but they cutting the truth like Benzino
Walking the tight rope
No net below
The more we're enslaved the less we know
So when you getting up tell me
Time to listen up
There's a calling to be great
Everyday when you get up
Are you focused on the goal or are you focused on the rut
There are people who control and never want to give you up so get up
I'm saying educate yourself how could you be so self righteous
And not care about your health
How could you act altruistic and just care about yourself
Take two steps to the right way
Take some good and make sure that good vibrates
All across the globe
The march to greatness and no its never getting old no
See I been waiting my whole damn life
For a sign I been looking at this whole thing right
Got me asking are we born great
Or does the cream rise
You know you made it when they look at you with green eyes
So look back look right back through em
5 Seconds on the clock and you know who's shooting
It's that be great, sleep, wake
Live, Die
All for the thing that you believe in no breaks
Keep going
Yeah yeah yeah
Said keep going
Remember when my pops worked just to keep the heat blowing
Then a needle made him leave and didn't say where he was going
So it's time to be a man
Where's my sisters, where my brother at
Listen, where we going we ain't coming back
No
Cause we done seen that low low
And we done felt some feelings that we'll never feel again
Type of shit to make your whole body shake like a snow globe
Thought they could just take you down
Show them its a no go
Tell them that you gone
F*ckers should've took a photo
I'm teaching to the no shows
The ones who saw the education system as a babysitter
Who starts the cycle of mis-info
Pollutants in the air steady coming at your lymph nodes
They trynna stop your greatness
Couldn't bare to see you oppose the order
Uphold the border
Between fear and great
See I been waiting my whole damn life
For a sign I been looking at this whole thing right
Got me asking are we born great
Or does the cream rise
You know you made it when they look at you with green eyes
So look back look right back through em
5 Seconds on the clock and you know who's shooting
It's that be great, sleep, wake
Live, Die
All for the thing that you believe in no breaks
Keep going
