Symba - GOAT lyrics
[Symba - GOAT lyrics]
Yeah, yeah i mean
I'ma just take the conversation we was havin'
And put it in rap form
I got my chains on too haha, look
They ask, who's the best MC, Biggie, JAY-Z
Or Nas? Aubrey Graham, Jermaine Cole
Kendrick Lamar?
Weezy F, Eminem, or Tupac Shakur?
Well, I think it's 'bout time
That I make a mention, the boy
I ain't even dropped an album
I still ain't been on a tour
I ain't got no platinum records and
I ain't won no awards
You know you fight uphill battles
While pushin' the culture forward
And the shit they neglect you for
Make the legends respect you more
See, now the gamе is based
Off narratives and comparisons
Anything could be truе if you
Get enough people sharin' it
How could the facts be faced when
This shit is opinion based?
Anyone can enter the race with
A mic and an interface
Yeah, that's why I think I'm the GOAT
I got the glow and the greatest flow
I inspired niggas to push more than dope
I gave 'em hope
Just because you rap like you
Woke don't mean you dope
You preachin' to the choir 'bout
Some shit we already know man, niggas roped
We ain't tryna hear all them Malcolm quotes
But if that's what floats your boat
Don't let me sink your ship
It's hard enough to catch a wave
While tryna anchor this shit
Man, so what makes a nigga the GOAT
Besides the world relatin' to
Everything that he wrote?
You gotta keep a loaf while
Keepin' culture afloat and
And not just musically
I'm talkin' all inclusively
Endorsements, fashion, movies roles to act in
To be a GOAT
You gotta be great outside your passion
And you can't act the of-all-time
If it ain't classic
Most of this shit be passive
Just a bunch of fucking captions
Pshh, I guess I'm askin'
How could a nigga be the greatest of all time
If LeBron never got to face MJ in his prime?
Or Montana never got to take
The field vs tom? If Mike Tyson never got to
See Ali in his day?
How could Floyd be the GOAT if
He ain't see Sugar Ray?
Shh, imagine Rakim over 808s
Or NBA YoungBoy doin' a song with Mase
That's why I feel like we should
Just end all of these debates
Because everybody's a GOAT because
Everyone made a way
This Hip-Hop shit made a way
For us to be great
We no longer pushin' weight
But we still fightin' for fame
Shh, that's why we all a GOAT
If you old and you dope, my nigga
You the GOAT
If you ain't die in your ghetto, my nigga
You the GOAT
You made it out the streets, my nigga
You the GOAT
If you bought your mama house, my nigga
You the GOAT
You post bail for the bros, my nigga
You the GOAT
Take care of your kids, my nigga
You the GOAT
Ain't nobody the GOAT because we all a GOAT
I'ma just take the conversation we was havin'
And put it in rap form
I got my chains on too haha, look
They ask, who's the best MC, Biggie, JAY-Z
Or Nas? Aubrey Graham, Jermaine Cole
