Derek Minor - Greatness lyrics

[Verse 1] I came from the bottom of the bottom of the bottom Southside Yaytown, they used to move work next to mi casa Mama met the Lord and deep inside she started changing Moved us to the South so we would have a chance to make it out I grew up watching her break her back to put food on our table Worked herself until she almost died, was barely able It's where I get my work ethic from She said, "I see what you been building, please be humble son" She know just where we came from They not on tv where we came from They don't win no trophies where we came from From the bottom of the bottom From the bottom of the bottom I can't let my self be blinded by these stage lights Scared I'll lose myself in all the hype, call that stage fright Flying coast to coast and eating things that I can't pronounce The homes I grew up in combined fit in where I'm sleeping now That ain't why I started, this was pa**ion on the page Told the Lord, I do this till I die, just for his name Maybe, that's why I'm so focused I don't play no games If we made off in his image, that must mean we great If you know where I came from Said we ain't have no value where I came from God was right there where we came from Even on the bottom of the bottom On the bottom of the bottom This is greatness [Verse 2] They wanna know where I be at, my bad, sorry for the wait I had to re-up with E-1 and make sure the paperwork is straight Signed the dotted line, got a check, now everything is great Now, it's time to get back talking God in everything you saying D-boys moving work, and I'm praying for em' cuz' they kin to me I know ex-goons preach now, but they still rocking they gold teeth People telling me to change up I'm too real, they can bite me With content like da-da, probably never fit in this industry Okay, I reflect greatness RMG the movement, I ain't gotta say this You've been patient, now it's time to break out the cage We can all get back to the basics When they know the reason that I'm preaching is Jesus Alive for him and I'm still k**ing the beat It's the glory up inside of us that I'm affecting That's the reason what you're witnessing is excellence It's greatness [Hook] Greatness Greatness Greatness [Verse 3] Okay, while we here and I got the mic Let me go ahead and get some things straight Reach Records, that's they business, don't ask me for no update Crae' still my dawg, wish him well I just talked to him last Monday But, it's RMG till I D-I-E, you can put that on my grave I had to realize what's inside of me For all of the people that lied to me For all of the people that said I would fall off Oh boy, what a time to be alive I wrote this for everyone feel like they counted out You need to look in the mirror and tell yourself It's time to be who I am now Greatness [Hook] Greatness Greatness Greatness
