GREATNESS, Part 1 Lyrics by Topi Mandela

Village Green

0

*starts with Will Smith speaking*
[Verse 1:]
Greatness, to be honest I'm losing my patience
Watching, been on surveillance
Meanwhile working on my cadence, caged in...
But I sing still
Maya Angelou or Michaelangelo
I paint a picture pointing out the high and lows
Apply the flows, the reason the eyes that froze
And jaws that dropped no longer deny the prose
Am I the foe of those who lie for hoes
And die to dose some medication, I suppose-
I suppose if I impose my will
Not of He who rose, but mine alone
Then I could the perfect clone but don't condone that
So I'm on my own, yeah
I'd rather be on my own..
James 4:10 is the way to live
But I'm so sick of being slept on
Lookin' at the game with a lot to give
Black superman I don't get crept on
Huh-
On a mission man, miscellaneous with my endeavors
Damn I retire niggas Michelin man
Coldest outta Michigan man, yeah
New kid to the scene
Nun like you ever seen
XXL dreams
Ima load a magazine
Better watch yo spleen
Boy gettin kinda mean
You ain't gettin in between my fate
My grind, my team
Our plate
We eat, we pray
Our date
With destiny
Can't wait
I know I'm bound to be great
*Will Smith speech*
[Verse 2:]
Visionary
Visions of the future and it's legendary
All my competition's work is momentary
Giving them momentum is unnecessary
Very scary- in effect
Diss me to my face, never indirect
From a rough place... What you expect?
I'm the one they used to neglect
Yeah, now I'm back ready to attack
Anybody wanna call me whack say it on a track
The punch lines that I pack make ya lips smack
I'm from where they speak code so I spit crack-
But this is Village Green deep
Paralyzing thoughts
Paranoid sleep
Parasites creep
Parallels keep
Me comparing me to who I wanna be
Greatness
*Will Smith speaking*
[Repeat x2:]
This is for the workaholic
Who don't never acknowledged..
Keep working at it like an addict
Adding to your own knowledge..
This is for the big dreamers
Who know they don't need college..
Pursuing passion puts you places
More than pursuing dollars..
