Текст BackWordz — Be Great

Work!
They say follow your dreams, but what does that mean?
‘Cause dreams only come to a sleeper. Forget that; you need to wake up/
Keep grinding instead. Keep that in your head/
Praying and hoping is not enough ’cause faith without works is dead/

Times what you make of it, no need to wait for it. Shut up get on your grind.

Get up and Be great
If I fail bro, that’s all on me
You can’t stop me ’cause I’ll be great
You ain’t gotta believe what I say
It don’t matter ’cause I’ll be great
Best bet: get out of my way
Tunnel vision I can’t be swayed
You can’t stop be, cause I’ll be great

Stop, being envious of everybody that’s around you/
You’re not poor, ’cause they’re rich. Realize this: It’s not fair, get over it/
If you spent as much time working on your craft as you did complaining… well./
You wouldn’t have the time or energy to be worried about everybody else/

If life is not in tact, complaining won’t get that; a complete waste of your time

Let me talk to them

Why do you want to cry and complain?
Why in the Hell are you on sidelines? Get in the Game!
When it comes to my mind, it’s all the way made
If you think you’re outworking me, then you are insane
That’s my attitude; stay in a battle mood.
Fear no man longitude or latitude
Broke or well off. seems that you had to choose.
But I ain’t mad it you, so beast it like an animal.

Get up and Be great
If I fail bro, that’s all on me
You can’t stop me ’cause I’ll be great
You ain’t gotta believe what I say
It don’t matter ’cause I’ll be great
Best bet: get out of my way
Tunnel vision I can’t be swayed
You can’t stop be, cause I’ll be great

Maybe you knew me back when I was,
Flag waiving and gangbanging from yours to my hood/
Driving my momma up a wall like it was all good/
If it was fighting involved, didn’t hesitate to fall through it.

Maybe you knew me as YG Rippa/
When me and J Dunn would beef on you just a little/ but we knew we had to fiddle with, we were not happy innocents/
Had the upper hand ’cause we were literate/

Yet idiots would step up and get they dumb butts bodied on microphones/ i earned my stripes ‘Cause I was nice was hype when I was writing on/
The pad but if I had to fight then I could get my Viking on/
I’d supply the cake and J Dunn would slap the icing on/

I just so happen to be rapping since the age of 10/
Like a God given talent prolly Back to praising him, can’t get pretend I’m new to this stuff/ Kuz I been doin this bruh/
Don’t be a fool get ripped up, you’re cruising for bruisings mister? wait

Maybe you knew me back when I was grooving/
Me and the gig squad put on for the Dallas boogie/
And I had cameo up after cameo/
The biggest one being the Teach me how to dougie video/

Maybe you know me from college when I was,
Running those track meets/
And I was actually a decent enough, athlete to break a couple school records, I’m proud of that joint/
Came a long way from gangbanging up to that point/

Maybe you know me from my YouTube/
And all those vocal covers and music ventures I used to.
Or, Maybe you know me talking politics/ talking ancap libertarianism, all of it.

But last
Maybe you know me from my old band/
Not Leviathan, the Gods I left Fire From/
Not acting like a higher form, to hold my punch I had to be/
But now I’m in position to answer what you’ve been asking me/

We parted ways ’cause I didn’t think we had foundation laid/
They wanted to tour just to do it, which was stupid, so/
I was not about that/ and I wouldn’t allow that/
Kuz I happen to grow up broke and I wasn’t going back to that and that’s the facts/

We left on good terms…
Yea, but dang I would surely learn for the worse it took a turn/
‘Cause the fools try to replace me with some dude that would favor me, I hate to be that guy but these lame babies shouldn’t play me

And they didn’t even try to hide it you and I know/
The first song they tried to drop was a song that I wrote/
I record it before I left and that was just a sin to me/
They got some whack cat to try his hardest just to mimic me/

Copy appearance to the mannerism/
Still let em make it til I heard these weak misses were sneak dissing/
Gotta a lotta balls in it/ but I will have no part of it/
Face the fact, it’s the opposite of what an artist is

You are factory made/
And you gotta go to grave with that bro.
High side and act though/ originality is what you lack so/
Tell ya kids that all your career is based a piggy back though/

«Oh he mad Kuz they got signed and Backwordz didn’t,» shut up fool you must be an idiot. Oblivious/
Don’t make a fool out yourself. ’cause you not real.
Over the past year we done past like 5 deals/

And now we in a situation that is helping me/
We own our own publishing and this is still a self release/
And BackWordz is a brand which was hard to get/
We didn’t sign a deal we were looking for a partnership/

Now we gotta team and it’s all business/
I say if you with it, then you with it/
The number of views can be at 20 million or a lot less/
But we ain’t sell our souls in the process I’ll take that/

You gotta get out there.
You’re running yourself into the ground.
You gotta move on now and get up and get out. You can find your way some how/

Be Great

Get up and Be great
If I fail bro, that’s all on me
You can’t stop me ’cause I’ll be great
You ain’t gotta believe what I say
It don’t matter ’cause I’ll be great
Best bet: get out of my way
Tunnel vision I can’t be swayed
You can’t stop be, cause I’ll be great
