This one goes out to my little ones

Be nothing but great

Be great
Be great
(and nothing less)
I remember they told me you won't be great
I may travel alone but I'm on my way
Go be great

Put this out yall measure
Shit it's out of yall reach and
I'm in love with the pressure
I'm a diamond they see I
The world throwing up peace signs
Went from big city dreaming
I told you this shit would be mine
Ain't it funny
That the closest to the light
Still choose not to see mine
Most of these n***as be like
Why him, why he get the green light?
But a n***a put in work
They don't see I'm
Aiming for the top of this mountain
I'm far from nothing
I amount to
If left up to y'all I would flounder
Now laughing in the face of a doubter
Never around it, go to it
Never run from it, go through it
All of them calling me crazy
Cause they feel it's impossible to em
Slow down but I can't stop moving
Don't fall into all the illusion
Of success
What it look like to you
Just stay blessed, stay true
And maneuver
Throughout all them obstacles
Can't let nothing stop me
On my way to where
I got to go
Y'all enjoy and watch the show
Or it could motivate you
Follow wherever it takes you
Fuck what people got to say
The world is out there waiting for you
Be great!

Be great
Go be great
I remember they told me you won't be great
I may travel alone but I'm on my way
Go be great
Go be great
Go be great
I remember they told me you won't be great
I may travel alone but I'm on my way
Go be great

Yeah
If I had a dollar for
Every person that said
I would amount to nothing
I'd be swimming in so much paper
If haters came around
They'd be drowning, suffering
Edmonton ain't really been in town
I love it
But did it ever love me back
It really doesn't matter
Cause my pockets getting fatter
Truth hurts
Thats an ugly fact
When I breach an obstacle
Vision has got go to
I don't got a choice
nothings impossible
More than trill
This a philosophical
More than ill
This a diabolical
Walking through prayers
With Gaston-Lee shorts on
Link up with Riz
We turn into voltron ha
I like these tsars
But the devil never spites these Gods
It's unlikely
He got game
They calling me
You Spike Lee
Trying to be great
They calling me young Mikey
Jackson, Jordan, Tyson
Might go psycho
When the mic goes on
Nights were ice cold
When I write those songs
Make a hater wanna right those wrongs
Get it right hoe
No jewelry on
Still my light glow
Lyrical rifle and I might blow
All because I found greatness
Gotta take a look within
Don't get indoctrinated by the fake shit
Cause they dont wanna see you win
As you contemplating all this hatred
Don't let it get under your skin
Know that the battle
We fighting is ancient
Look to your ancestors and your kin
And be great

Be great
Go be great
I remember they told me you won't be great
I may travel alone but I'm on my way
Go be great
Go be great
Go be great
I remember they told me you won't be great
I may travel alone but I'm on my way
Go be great
