Sampa The Great and Angélique Kidjo - Let Me Be Great

Yo
Ah-cha cha ah-cha
Ka ka-king

These certainly are the signs
Many men left to their own devices
Tell the story, leaving out the cries
It's "say me, say me"
Uh, quite sucks to be the boss
The hunter should be licking at my balls, I'm a lion
Now, king, men, applause I'm feelin' this
But of course, what is the cost I'm healing now
I'm dealing with my hero's always shitting on my flaws
When I was younger you was on my walls
Now it's "replace this"
Don't wanna ever be an enemy nigga
So I figure I could carve my own path
Soaring, I'm am exhibit an my name
I'm Sammy, I'm Tembo, I'm eve, I'm Sampa, I'm great
Remember when there's doubt, fear
You would have your voice in the song in your ear
You can time travel, any month, any year
You're the greatest, yeah I told you 'cause it's what you need to hear
Young tembo we
Ah, yeah
Let me, let me
Ah, yeah
Let me, let me
Ah, yeah
Let me, let me
Ah, yeah
Let me, let me

Forever ever, and ever ever and ever ever, and ever, I'ma be great
And you can never fail
Where even when you fall you prevail
And you can never lessen with a lesson
And I've been pressing, something
It's not about impressing I'm expressing
And every path I pave still stressing
And simon said, "stay in your lane"
If I stayed out and played with them little rhyme books
Singing Tupac hooks
Still ignoring the fact that a queen named Lauryn
Said that you can conquer any hill
That's how I feel, that's how I feel
My vision, I'm impeccable
Every strength gain, every stage, detectable
Looking to the future for a vision, no spectacle
It's legacy, it's what I see, huh
Remember when there's doubt, fear
You would have your voice in the song in your ear
You can time travel, any month, any year
You're the greatest, yeah I told you 'cause its what you need to hear
Yeah I'm gonna be, great
Ah, yeah
Let me, let me
Ah, yeah
Let me, let me
Ah, yeah
Let me, let me
Ah, yeah
Let me, let me
