[Verse 1]
Lord since it's up to you, don't let me confuse life in this industry
Are n***as praying for me or are they praying on descending me?
I been catching hella' flat cause we just do it differently
While these boys eat the same crap, they human centipedes
In a league of my own and it's seed to the throne
Cause this life is temporary, it's like [?] then it's gone
Pray you can't forget these nights of Hennessy to the dome
Know I need my people, but my tendency is be alone
I'm in the zone, feeling like Paul Wall, I'm shining
I'm known in the South like hogs, smogs, and violates
Homies that bang red, homies that push violence
Supposed to be the strong well tell who I confide with
When everything in hell is breaking loose
I guess I'll just keep fighting, I won't never set a truce
Everything I learned, I gotta put it into use
Got my n***as hanging with me, we just try'na cut the noose
[Hook]
Man I just want to be great
Lord know's I'm trying, but I'm feeling like I might loose faith
I just wanna be great yeah
Good Lord my homies, dying clock moving at a whole new pace
I just want to be great yeah, yeah
I just want to be great yeah, yeah
I just want to be great yeah, yeah
Good Lord help me get out my ways
I just want to be....
[Verse 2]
A good father one day and a good son now
A good man to my girl if I don't get gunned down
By the [?] or the coppers
Feel I got a lot to prove, but only to myself and I won't give up now
I've been doubting my place in life, doubting my views
Never doubted in Jesus, but I been doubting the pews
And that don't mean that I'm leaving, it's just we got to improve
When people coming for healing then they leave with a bruise
But now I digress, at night I sit and think about my progress
FLA the crib, who knew my heart would grow up and fly West
Now I'm in the city with a little more wind
Try'na make a couple more ends with a couple more friends
That's word to my homie Thelow, Cardec got my back and we back to back like heroes
Holty know I got 'em until the clock is hitting zeroes
We trying to get green, you can never be amarillo
[Hook]
Man I just want a be great
Lord know's I'm trying, but I'm feeling like I might loose faith
I just wanna be great yeah
Good Lord my homies, dying clock moving at a whole new pace
I just want to be great yeah, yeah
I just want to be great yeah, yeah
I just want to be great yeah, yeah
Good Lord help me get out my ways
I just want to be....
[Bridge]
A good night, a good morning
They tell me the light comes after the mourning
A good night, a good morning
They tell me the light comes after the mourning
A good night, a good morning
They tell me the light comes after the mourning
A good night, a good morning
They tell me the light comes after the mourning
[Hook]
Man I just want a be great
Lord knows I'm trying, but I'm feeling like I might loose faith
I just wanna be great yeah
Good Lord my homies, dying clock moving at a whole new pace
I just want to be great yeah, yeah
I just want to be great yeah, yeah
I just want to be great yeah, yeah
Good Lord help me get out my ways
I just want to be....
