Aki, Kenny - Greatest Text (lyrics)

Greatest (uh) i don't want to say this
Cause it's so cliche in every way
But won't stop till the day
Till the world know my name is
I want to be the


Just a boy from Southern Cali
LA county to be exact
South Bay, oh matter of fact
Trying to put the city on my back
Since my grandpa worked on them railroads
It only make sense that I know
How to lay them tracks
Reference don't make sense but their
Ignorance leaves no point
When they can't tell the difference
Between a chink or a jap
Striving writing for the days that
I get to laugh
They say those who laugh last
Laugh the longest but let's be honest
Not even trying to be modest
Can't be a greatest of all time when
I still come up with lines like
I'm harder than an Onix
"Ummmmm what did he just say"
Yeah I said it, I don't regret it
I meant every word if
You haven't already heard
I'll say it one more time
I'm harder than an ONIXXX
It's with the most humble arrogance that
I be tearing this beat
But the title and the crown
I can't be wearing it
Cause the torch hasn't been passed
But I'm on the course
To the path to surpass and match
The stars who be carrying it
How many times do I have to warn you not
To climb into the bandwagon
When the stars align
But it's time for me to shine
I just ask the haters to humble me
If I ever get out of line


You thought I was done but
I'm only getting started
I been disregarded and always overlooked
And as I'm dreamin like Martin
And always workin my hardest
To be more than artist with
A sixteen and a hook
Used to do this for applauses and
Laughs and giggles and shit
But riddle me this
How'd I get caught in the middle of this
When I was so close to callin it quit's
What are the causes that kept
Me steerin this ship?
I work on my rhyme scheme
I work on my wordplay
While the homies get drunk and
Party it up on Thursday
Sitting back home trying to increase my
Fan base to a Colt following
As if I'm Jim Irsay
I wouldn't say I reached the point per say
But the greatest since Pac is emerging
I don't do it to push a Rav-4 but I
Don't do it to push a Lambo Mercy
Shout out to the one or
Two, couple of other few
Who got me through these low times
Who saw my potential, saw me as special
Walked by my side when I
Couldn't even hold mine
Now that it's showtime, time
To strike gold mine, fuck a co-sign
Show the world what I got
Championships are earned, titles are deserved
Honor is something that could never be bought
Oh God


I'm just tryna be the greatest, uh
Shout-out Kenny but you know I gotta
Slay ya on yo own shit
All my shit the latest, fuck a old bitch
Oh shit, got a new moniker
They askin' what he brewin' like Hanukkah
My tape in the making dawg
Little patience I swear we
Gonna make it y'all
Cause every time they come around
They be hollerin' that whoop de whoop
Blah ze blah he say, she say
Oh my God
Shut the fuck up, fuckas never loved us
Remember? Mofucka?
So if you hatin' let me hear you do it naw
Admit that I'm the man when it come to it
Uh and yo boy got the dream still
Tryna get on Dreamville's roster
If Cole don't sign me, I
Still fuck the opposition
Funny how positions change huh?
Still remain the same mayne, never change up
Shootin' from the arc getcha range up
Gotta aim up betta hang it up boy
So gimme the pen and pad, matter fact
Get the fuck back
I ain't playin no games mofocka
And I swear that
With all these bitches that I
Get at I'm just
Slowly tryna find where my mofockin' head at
Aki
