lyrics

"Not Tryna Be (The Greatest)"

Verse 1:
Y'all don't know a fuckin' thing about me, why should I simmer down?
Keep rollin' like a juggernaut, knock the bigger niggaz down
Cold world, my habitat - tend to keep winter 'round
Losers I have met don't wanna hear that winner sound
Been kickin' hymns around, droppin' plenty gems in sound
Bringin' major pain/Major Payne, straight stomp in the ground
An' I'm unbound, paradise lost, bearin' my cross
Spittin' thru appendages, wanna tear the mic off?
Toe to toe, hand to hand, cough up a lung, we squarin' off
I hope that scare you off
Nothin' nice where I'm from, shit's ugly an' gettin' gruesome
Niggaz carry iron, kickin' in doors, intrusion
When life deals you lemons, you turn those to a hydra
So when she comes back to cut a head, you still can fight her
If we didn't learn nothin', we learned to be fighters
An' when the goin' get tough, you fight it all wit' fire

Hook(x2):
Not tryna be the greatest, I used to hate Hip-Hop
My passion just grew thru the ages
Flippin' thru the pages of rhymes where my rage is
(Fuck a rusty crown, just put me on ya playlist)

Verse 2:
Told you, I see now I'm a champion
It's not a corner that I'm backed up in
If so, I come out swingin' like Money May or Roy Jones
Swifter than Ali, gol - ly, leave that boy 'lone
Better by my lonesome, better 'cause I've grown some
Realizin' gotta do better for my own son
A seed that ain't born yet, or even conceived
When he is, I must instill that tough niggaz bleed
These haters pray - for my downfall of course
I guess it's 'cause I run across they mind wit' the Speed Force
A trillion, spiteful, thoughts every attosecond
No love shown, so - God's smackin' back yo' blessings
Now you wanna smack yo' reverend, but it ain't his fault
You just been hatin' so long, that that's the re-sult
I know that feelin', I was recently there
'Til I became hotter than a lesbian affair

Hook(x2)

Verse 3:
I set a precedent, you know I gotta live up
I barely take a break an' definitely never give up
This shit means everything to me, it's my livelyhood
Somethin' 'bout the beat when you ride it good
Just like it's somethin' 'bout the pussy when she ride it good
An' it's somethin' 'bout my flow 'cause I'm rhymin' good
Mental avant garde decor, designed it good
Feng shui for ya brain, redesign ya hood
I'm comin' thru, might cause a pile-up in the intersection
Niggaz want beef, I provide the verbal vivisection
It's Lil Eddie wit' the full-metal alchemy
Life's a bitch, picked you to get slain like a Valkyrie
Years ago, lil niggaz claimed they had it out for me
An assassination that I very highly doubt you'll see
Lyrical piff, throw all yo' cash to me
Know you need a plug like you low in the battery

Hook(x2)
