Greatness by Nephew P Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lookin' at the screen thinkin' "that could be us man"
Cruising through the streets, hit the tree like I'm Tarzan
Pull up on some girls, tell Quel "aye let 'em in"
Came a long way from riding 'round in ya mama van
Up against some niggas who we tryna be better than
And we come wit' ether, give you niggas a nice tan
Just like Oak Street Beach summer time Chicago
Ya boy gets deep like potholes
Deep as the core go, deep as spirits and souls go
Grew up fast and live slow
Pen in my hand and all alone in the zone
And I'm just doing anything I can for my own
Go out there and get it, bring it right back home
Heir of the throne, look how much ya boy done grown
Tryna go places like a rolling stone
Different countries and time zones, get in my zone
[Hook]
The booth is my kitchen, whippin' up a hit
Give it to the streets, pray to God I hit a lick
Pray I never fall, pray I never slip
Pray I make a profit, get it poppin', make it flip
(repeat)
[Verse 2]
Big dreams, one day imma cop the Porshe
Dime piece passenger, speed wit' no remorse
Came a long way from the homie on the porch
Up and down the block, every Sunday use to be in church
I wasn't selling drugs, I was the average joe
But had some fights wit' some lords, even wit' some foes
I was shooken up but I had to plant my toes
Learn the ropes, niggas gonna try ya either way it goes
Fast forward, niggas now are getting shot
By they rival or a cop or they homie in the cut, damn
It's 2018, where's the fuckin' trust? Damn
I pray to God that my friends won't give me up, well
If so, peace, love and respect to 'em
I gotta family, I'm tryna give the world to 'em
Give the world blessings and a ton of inspiration
Love, honor, respect, I dish 'em out to 'em, I say
[Hook]
Get bands, may your hustle never ends
In tough times I pray to God, wish you better friends
I wish you take flight, G5 charter flight
I wish you touch down and take off the same night
May my words be recited, chanted and rewinded
May the ogs feel it, maybe cosign it
May your grind bring you better, bigger, brighter pictures
Less negativity and more players witcha
Hakuna matata summa cuma laude
I wish you celebration and I wish you make the party
And I wish you make it safely 'cause niggas, they be hating'
They wish they can be you, they wish you never made it
They wish you never make it and maybe pray on it
The Lord is yo witness, you destined for greatness
They wish I never make it and maybe pray on it
The Lord is my witness, I'm destined for greatness
