The Greatest - Rod Wave
(Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, that's probably Tago)
Had to run that b_tch back
I swear, once they see where a n_gga come from
All of this sh_t that you had to go through, bruh
They don't understand
(I bet my last track probably gave you lockjaw, hey, Lilkdubb)
Young n_gga from the bottom of the map
Came up riding with the strap, iron on his lap
One false move, get whacked
Got the whole hood on his back
And it's just like that
For my n_ggas locked in the trap
Pray to God we all make it back, pray we all make it back
Gotta pray we all make it back
And I know it's wrong that I rap
But a street n_gga first
Tell the crackers free Mac Deezy
Ma, look at your son, I'm on TV
They didn't believe me
N_gga went and got it off the greezy
It's hard, but I make it look easy, a crazy achievement
Won't really f_ck with no rappers
All these n_ggas hustling backwards
Misguiding the youth
But long as I know the truth
That's another subject for after
And I'm riding in the Rover
12 keep on trying to pull me over
Asking a n_gga if I stole it, I bought it, I own it
I remember walking to school
Catching the bus early morning, like, Ma, I ain't going
I was in the hallways roaming
But I still got my diploma, I got my diploma
Went to school all twelve years just to get a job selling donuts, man, that's crazy
I ain't with the minimum waging
I ain't with the modern day slavery
The f_ck is you saying?
Told the crackers, "F_ck you, pay me"
Had to tell 'em, "F_ck you, pay me"
It's back to the block
Well, I guess it's back to the block
In the streets running 'round playing hooky
And I ain't never sold no crack, but I'm so street, I can cook it
And I know it's hard to find a way
But you're bound to see brighter days
A million dollars can't change me, n_gga
'Cause hard times made me, n_gga
A hard grind saved me, n_gga
I got it off the pavement, n_gga
I got it off the pavement, my n_gga
Young n_gga from the bottom of the map
Came up riding with the strap (Yeah, yeah)
Young n_gga got the hood on his back
He got the whole hood on his back, yeah
Didn't think you'd be who you are, my n_gga
Didn't think you'd take it this far, my n_gga (Okay)
You like the greatest, you like the greatest to me
You like the greatest, you like the greatest to me
Give a f_ck what they saying, you like the greatest to me, yeah
You like the greatest, you like the greatest to me
You like the greatest, you like the greatest to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
F_ck what they saying, you like the greatest to me, yeah
'Cause a n_gga built off this sh_t, bruh, this sh_t in me, bruh, for real
Ayy, free C5, man, grrah
We ain't forget about you, my n_gga
Grindin', baby
