Lyrics

And I am the greatest Not that it makes you any less but I Will live in my light for as long as I'm here What does it profit a man to gain the World but lose his soul? I guess I'll never know They say God give tough battles to the toughest soldiers I was breaking, feeling hopeless Used that energy to my advantage until I created culture Waiting until the rain is over Hoping that my pain brings closure Dealing with anxiety trying to cop my mom a new Range Rover All the times I failed I was trying to get a deal Went from living in my truth To almost living in a hell These niggas claim they be the realest But the real always prevail So when you see me with these rappers Know it's a truth they didn't tell But I'm not bitter I'm just chasing greatness How can I lead them through the storm if I don't master patience And I would never turn my back I would choose embracing Cause I remember those rough nights that I was in the same shit That's just the difference my heart always been so genuine And I can't change cause I know God made me different You can see in my penmanship A bunch of lost souls without guidance Come get deliverance If you hang around the snakes then that's the friends you get Fighting for a better day Knowing life led them astray The struggles be blocking your light They gotta get out the way Know it's some boys in the hood They wanna pick up A K Ready to risk everything Tired of not feeling okay I feel your pain and I'm beside you No matter how deep the darkness The light was always inside you Reminiscing of the nights I was fighting just for survival Rather die next to my honor than ever be a false idol They say God give tough battles to the toughest soldiers I was breaking, feeling hopeless Used that energy to my advantage until I created culture Waiting until the rain is over Hoping that my pain brings closure Dealing with anxiety trying to cop my mom a new Range Rover All the times I failed I was trying to get a deal Went from living in my truth To almost living in a hell These niggas claim they be the realest But the real always prevail So when you see me with these rappers Know it's a truth they didn't tell When they aim low I'm aiming for the rafters Felt like Kawhi when he was playing for the raptors Load managing through the chatter Soon as you win you see it barely matters They leaving insecurity up in my comments Trying to break me I respond with laughter I see your soul been through some pain and you can barely take it So you respond with all that hate and try to slander greatness And I been standing in my light And you been trying to fake it Boy I'm a legend in my city even if I never make it Fighting for a better day Knowing life led them astray The struggles be blocking your light They gotta get out the way Know it's some boys in the hood They wanna pick up A K Ready to risk everything Tired of not feeling okay I feel your pain and I'm beside you No matter how deep the darkness The light was always inside you Reminiscing of the nights I was fighting just for survival Rather die next to my honor than ever be a false idol This for the people out there who were always told they weren't good enough Whoever felt like they weren't good enough Don't ever let the world take your light from you That's where all your power is You will come out wiser stronger better Go within Find who you are and be that unapologetically Shine your light Jersey
