“More than rich, more than famous, more than happy, I want to be great”

The curtains are raising I’m ready for the world to see
The fire that’s blazing nonstop inside of me
My heart is not racing the pressures not phasing
F*** the NBA because this is where amazing
Happens my passions the music that I fashion
Out of bass and snare and past affairs but I’ve only reached a fraction
Of my skills I will be shooting up the y axis if your are graphing
Feel like Springsteen writing Born to Run or Michelangelo crafting
The David cuz greatness is what I’m about to achieve
But I’m restless like a kid trying to sleep on Christmas Eve
Because I know that gifts of my labor will waiting when I rise
Just gotta make it through the night and keep my eyes on the prize

Oh I couldn’t want it more
Feels like its knocking on my door
Lord I know the road to glory isn’t painless
But still I strive for greatness
(repeat)

Wanna make my dreams a reality
And become the star I was bound to be
Inevitably you will see me
As the GOAT like number 23
That’s a guarantee this MC
Snake E-Y-E-Z at the age of 15
Is gonna blow up like TNT
And you will hear me on your mp3
And MTV and BET
And HOT 97 in NYC
playing shows from coast to coast of the country
5’5 but I feel bigger than CC
I know people want me to fail miserably
But their words bounce off like a trampoline
And you don’t wanna see me when I’m angry
Cuz When I’m fired up I’m like gasoline
Like Charlie Sheen I’ve lost my mind
So you better buckle up for a bumpy ride
Cuz when I’m rapping in double time
It’s the speed of a plane passing by
Faster than luda combined
With Twista and Busta rhymes
I’m Sayin I’m slaying anybody in my way and
This planes bout to raise theres no more delaying
My ascension past contention
Theres no prevention
I want first place f*** honorable mention
