ONE OF THE GREATEST Lyrics by Candace Wakefield

1993 CAMARO (THE JOURNEY)

2018

ONE OF THE GREATEST
INTRO
Shout out to my hometown
Nothing but love for ya
Inglewood CA
Inglewood up to no good
8 block y'all know what they say about us
Crenshaw and century
City of champions
Inglewood family what up
VERSE 1
323 was my area code
Grew up in the hood
Life it was so cold
Death had no mercy for none of my homies
Didn't have to fight cause they all did it for me
Sisters and brother they had my back
Momma did too she wasn't having that
Stand in the middle of the street rebuking
Demons she told them to get back
Fall back yayayayayaya
You ain't got no place here
She told em to
Fall back
Cause you got one of the greatest here
HOOK
So im gonna be one of the greatest for you
Yea Im gonna be one of the greatest for you
Im gona show you and I'm gonna prove
I wanna be one of the greatest for you
Greatest for you
Greatest for you
Said I wanna be one of the greatest for you
Yea im gonna be one of the greatest for you
Im gonna show you and I'm gonna prove
I wanna be one of the greatest
VERE 2
There were bullets bullets
Flying every where
Who they hit y'all they didn't even care
What is life to a dying soul
Blue verses red
Its just a color y'all
I never understood
What they were fighting for
Death after death
Too much crying yo
I would sit and watch misery unfold
So happy that I made it out though
Ain't never been shot
But I have been aimed at
They didn't pull that trigger
Cause God had my back
Like he always does
Like he always does
So I gotta be one of the greatest
PRE HOOK
I wanna be one of the greatest
I gonna be
Wanna be
Wanna be
Wanna be one
Im gonna be
Gonna be
Gonna be
Gonna be
Gonna be one
HOOK
So im gonna be one of the greatest for you
Yea Im gonna be one of the greatest for you
Im gona show you and I'm gonna prove
I wanna be one of the greatest for you
Greatest for you
Greatest for you
Said I wanna be one of the greatest for you
Yea im gonna be one of the greatest for you
Im gonna show you and I'm gonna prove
I wanna be one of the greatest
VERSE 3
I use to chill on the porch with the OGS
Back then I wasn't puffin on no trees
They use to call me songbird
They knew I sang
And hoped that one day
I would make a team
I remember Marlow calling me her little Mariah
But that chick could sing much higher
Had little pipes back then
But now y'all I'm on fire
And I hope y'all all watching me
( I MEAN YOU KNOW I BEEN DOING MY THING )
Cause you know ya girl been on tv
Yea
(NICKI MINAJ. CIARA, KENDRICK LAMAR )
But I thank God for all my blessings
( THANK YOU GOD)
And ill never forget every lesson
No no no no no
HOOK
Yea I'm gonna be one of the greatest for yea
Im gona show you and I'm gonna prove
I wanna be one of the greatest for you
Greatest for you
Greatest for you
Said I wanna be one of the greatest for you
Yea im gonna be one of the greatest for you
Im gonna show you and I'm gonna prove
I wanna be one of the greatest
BRIDGE
To ever do it
Ever do it
Ever do it
To ever prove it
Ever prove it
Ever prove it
To ever do it
Ever do it
Ever do it
I gotta be one of the greatest
One of the greatest
To ever do it
Ever do it
Ever do it
To ever prove it
Ever prove it
Ever prove it
To ever see it
Ever see it
Ever see it
O I believe
O I believe
I wanna be one of the greatest
I wanna be
Wanna be
Wanna be
Wanna be one
Im gonna be
Gonna be
Gonna be
Gonna be one
One of the greatest
