Lyrics
Do have what it takes to be the greatest?
I think you do
Yuh, ayo starting out
I didn't know what I was doing
But I just knew
This is what I wanna be pursuing
You can't enjoy a win
Without feeling the pain of losing
I just know I gotta keep my head up
And keep on moving
Trial after trial
This road kept getting harder
But I found ways to navigate
And now I work smarter
You can tell I'm educated
You can see that I'm dedicated
To take this mic
My arm will need to be amputated
Totally charismatic
Setting the vibe wherever I go
Whenever I step on that stage
The people already know
They're going for a ride
They're gonna witness a show
Seeing what brought me up
From an all time low
Married to the game
And this song is my vow
10 Years deep
Still thinkin' back like wow
I'm a classy man
Ending each show with a bow
To the ones who told me to quit
Look at me now
Oh, I
I can be the greatest
I can be the greatest of all time
I know that I can do it
You just gotta let me try
Oh, I
I can be the greatest
The hate that I recieved
From becoming a rapper was massive
So much aggression
And a lot of it was passive
No one has looked me in the eyes
And said that I suck
Just a bunch of keyboard chickens
Continuing to cluck
You see me out in public
Just to say and do nothin'
I'm 5 feet away from you
C'mon man do somethin'
Very disappointing
How these people talk a big game
To find out they want no problems
Man what a shame
You make fun of me and my music
And continue to poke
Just to tell me later on
It was all a big joke
Keep testing me homie
I'm not someone to provoke
If you push me to my limit
It's your man card I'll revoke
I've fought tooth and nail
Just to get where I'm at
And you'll have to keep on fighting
Just remember that
And you can turn to your haters
And then hit 'em with a bow
Then stare at 'em
And say look at me now
Oh, I
I can be the greatest
I can be the greatest of all time
I know that I can do it
You just gotta let me try
Oh, I
I can be the greatest
I'ma keep doing what I'm doing
And give it all that I got
I'll continue on my path
Whether if I'm the greatest or not
In the words of Eminem
You only get one shot
Man, I'm lost in the moment
Trying to maintain my spot
Never in my life
Did I think I could headline a show
That's a check in the box
Now who knows where I can go?
Anything is possible
And I'm living proof of that
I've come a real long way
From being a sad and angry brat
Spreading my story
And saving lives along the way
Auburn's hometown hero
And his name is D.J.J
To all my haters
Yes, I'm here to stay
I treat this game like Destiny bruh
And I came to play
Definitely not the greatest
Just doing the best that I can
That's how you tell the difference
Between a boy and a man
Blocking out the bad vibes
Like boom boom pow
I got one thing to say
Look at me now
Oh, I
I can be the greatest
I can be the greatest of all time
I know that I can do it
You just gotta let me try
Oh, I
I can be the greatest
Aight
Time to go be great
