the greatest lyrics – rod wave

young n*** from the bottom of the map
came up riding with the strap
iron on his lap
one false move get whacked
got the whole hood on his back
and it’s just like that

all my n**s strapped in the trap
pray to god we all make it back
pray we all make it back
gotta pray we all make it back
and i know it’s wrong that i rap
but a street n*** first

tell the crackers free mac deez
ma look at your son i’m on tv
they didn’t believe me
n*** went and got it out the greezy
it’s hard but i make it look easy
crazy achievement
iono really fuck with no rappers
all these n**s hustling backwards
misguiding the youth
but as long as i know the truth
that’s a subject for after

and i’m riding in the rover
12 keep on trying to pull me over
asking a n** if i stole it
i bought it i own it
i remember walking to school
catching the bus early morning
like ma i ain’t going
i was in the hallways roaming

but i still got my diploma
i got my diploma
went to school all 12 years
just to get a job selling donuts
man that’s crazy
i ain’t with the minimum wage
i ain’t with the modern day
slavery
fuck is you saying
told the crackers fuck you pay me
had to tell em fuck
you pay me

it’s back to the block
well i guess it’s back to
the block in the streets
running around playing hookie
and i ain’t never sold no crack
but i’m so street i could cook it

and i know its hard, to find a way
but you’re bound to see brighter days
a million dollars can’t change me n***
cause hard times made me n***
a hard grind saved me n***
i got it off the pavement n***
i got it off the pavement my n***

young n*** from the bottom of the map
came up riding with the strap
young n*** got the hood on his back
he got the whole hood on his back
they think they be who you are my n***
they think you take it this far my n***

you like the greatest
you like the greatest to me
you like the greatest
you like the greatest to me
fuck what they saying
you like the greatest to me

you like the greatest
you like the greatest to me
you like the greatest
you like the greatest to me
fuck what they saying
you like the greatest to me
