Greatness

We're destined for greatness Nobody ever thought we would make it Watch how far we take it Pass the stars and spaceships From a city where the music is sacred 504 You're in the presence of a rebel now Yea we about to take it to another level now Bout time everybody got together now Things are looking better now We can live forever now We made it out of the hood this was never suppose to happen We were only suppose to sell dope or stick to rapping Wife beaters bearing arms I ain't talking fashion Stereotype cause I was born with this black skin I hate racism with a motherpluckin passion Less hate more love addition by subtraction Competition lacking I'm laid back laughing the big man on top like a improper fraction It's a miracle how we survive way back then I ain't talking rep when I talk about tec 9 and mac 10 I write rhymes that changes lives with my black pen Pops said never apologize for your passion So I'm mashing the gas and I'm dashing to pass the haters the crab the cowards who did me bad we're relaxing now I'm taxing so put your passion Dee 1 the microphone assassin We destined for greatness Nobody ever thought we would make it Watch how far we take it Pass the stars and spaceships From a city where the music is sacred 504 You're in the presence of a rebel now Yea we about to take it to another level now Bout time everybody got together now Things are looking better now We can live forever now 504 I'm repping that now Aim at ya Apple so watch me put the Mac down They ask me how I made it outta that town I tell em I ain't never ever backed down Humble shyt I get it popping no other option that I'm coming with World on my shoulder yea that's the stone cold stunner shyt Gimme a hell yea if you can see we running it Underdog central is what ya gonna get Banks - the name is going round Promoters is booking em like they taking em downtown Somebody not from the city I'm taking em downtown I love that I'm from this city listen to my proud sound Worldwide they recognize who we are When we back at the crib we neighborhood superstars Soul Rebels and the boy Alfred Banks First name must be Shabba the way we climbing up the ranks We destined for greatness Nobody ever thought we would make it Watch how far we take it Pass the stars and spaceships From a city where the music is sacred 504 You're in the presence of a rebel now Yea we about to take it to another level now Bout time everybody got together now Things are looking better now We can live forever now Yeah let me talk to em man Yeah The school system teaching ill-advised lessons A new instructor taking over ain't no second guessing indenting every paragraph period end of sentence Ya learning from a legend for my autograph they begging That heso got jumping better tighten them suspenders I'm purified water not a carbonated beverage I go the extra mile Na reward my extra credit if you ever try to play me best believe you gon regret it Just say I'm living right keep my ends tight That's another Daily struggle on a black man plight got me On that tunnel vision all I see is the light this was hard work tryna keep that roll of the dice yea This ain't a gimmick you get out what you put in Still on my grind I remember Back when Embarrassing these haters with a pad and pen Got that Gil Scott-Heron let that sink in We destined for greatness Nobody ever thought we would make it Watch how far we take it Pass the stars and spaceships From a city where the music is sacred 504 You're in the presence of a rebel now Yea we about to take it to another level now Bout time everybody got together now Things are looking better now We can live forever now
