[Hook]
I'm the best, I'm the best, I never promised you less
Put your hands in the air if you riding to the end
With the best, I'm the best, you never expected less
Put your hand over your chest if you reciting the pledge

[Verse 1: Ursa Major]
Lauryn in my speakers, got hills I need to climb
There's dreams I need to reach for, scared of peaking in my mind
I was never one for peeking, I love a good surprise
But the older you tend to get, the less likely you'll liked it
Its a fight, its a struggle, yea I'm talking 'bout the suburbs
Pulled the crab up out the barrel, but only to make him supper
They wanna see me suffer, friends becoming fewer
They pretend they never knew ya' when they learn you only human
Finding less names in my will, the more that I acquire
Its like they ain't like the truth so they turned me to a liar
Tired of preaching to a choir who got their own sermons they writing
Can't save everyone these last days, but I can let 'em read my bible
Im a survivor, smiler, always seen the brighter side of
Dark days like eclipses, 'cuz I witnessed the sun rise up
Ursa, el mejor, stamps on my pa**port
What you think I rap for, just to push a Rav4 ?
[Hook]
I'm the best, I'm the best, I never promised you less
Put your hands in the air if you riding to the end
With the best, I'm the best, you never expected less
Put your hand over your chest if you reciting the pledge

[Verse 2: Ursa Major]
I climbed the mountain, the descent is just as strenuous
It seem sit make 'em madder when you EXACTLY who you said you is
Stayed away from fame's allure, had the juice and hated it
So I stay like hair in 90's movies, low cut faded
Only child problems, used to bein' the favorite
In a genre where, self is hard to find like parking in Beijing
Does anything even phase him? Phasers set to stun
The way he move is Infamous, like the Second Son
I mean, like the setting sun, my style is set in stone
Don't wanna be the best who never won like I played for Jerry Sloan
Oh you ain't low, I was told to keep my gra** cut
But who cares? These snakes won't make it thru the winter!
I made it thru my wedding with, barely any hiccup
But I know kids who wouldn't graduate if I ain't write their papers
Oh shots fired, don't be Crispus Attucks
Why would we put your hands up if they still gonna shot at us?
[Hook]
I'm the best, I'm the best, I never promised you less
Put your hands in the air if you riding to the end
With the best, I'm the best, you never expected less
Put your hand over your chest if you reciting the pledge

[Verse 3: Ursa Major]
Its the blind leading the blind, I wanna be the Mos Def
So I stopped working on the writing just to learn some ASL
Praying to a savior who prays you save your self
Fendin' off some vicious predators who preying on my flesh
Where the wild things are, thats where my childhood went
Put that sword back in the stone, stay a kid young link
And there ain't no ocarina, to pacify my demeanor
Why are standards so diminished for ebony entertainers
You make me sign a contract, pretend you do me a favor?
You can never own my thoughts, Ursa never sign a major!
If you chase the paper, you on trails already paved
And if you only know what they teach you, you'll never be a maven
There ain't no safe haven, you dead if you don't progress
Its not enough when I say it, but I know that I'm the best
Im the best
(I know, I know)
Man tell 'em that I'm the best
[Hook]
I'm the best, I'm the best, I never promised you less
Put your hands in the air if you riding to the end
With the best, I'm the best, you never expected less
Put your hand over your chest if you reciting the pledge
