The ILL-HAN - Chasing Greatness

Thinking back to who I was
And what I thought I'd be
What's left for me the gain
Or left for me to dream
Need something for me to chase
Now what could be the key
Aspire to greatness
And greatness I will achieve
One day I'll wake up
And find the remedy
If it was easy
Then money would grow on trees
And yes that is the case
But no don't get me wrong
I respect your goals
But that isn't what I long
If life is this game
Then how do you wanna play
If you die with all you want
But can't take it to the grave
I don't know about you but
All I'm trying to say is
I aspire to be great
So greatness I will attain
Throw away the bad
Keep the good in my mind
Cause that helps me in my quest
For what I'm trying to find
Are you ready, am I ready, will I ever be?
I worry for you today
And my own legacy
Maybe it's meant to be
They call it destiny
But I won't let that feeling
Get the best of me
No matter how time flies me towards my demise
I rewind time and from the ashes I arise
Tryna hold me back?
Tryna slow me down?
Keep you around?
Full stop no
Little tolerance
For those who speak
But don't act
Untapped potential
They don't peak
Cause they trapped
It's a fact
I feel bad for you that you didn't grow
I tried to bring you along
But I've grown old
I try to my best
But i also need my rest
If you wanna join my journey
You'll get put to the test
I confess
Thinking back to who I was
And what I thought I'd be
What's left for me the gain
Or left for me to dream
Need something for me to chase
Now what could be the key
Aspiring to greatness
And greatness I will achieve
Today, I woke up
I had another dream
I asked my brother
What do you think
It all means?
I saw
What I accomplished
All I have achieved
Even when the odds were down
And nobody believed in me
He said
You fought battles on all fronts
You pulled out all guns
And since the age of 10 all you've done is run
Guess I had to take a break
But I'm ready now
Thinking of the future, it gives me a smile
Thinking back to who I was
And what I thought I'd be
Looking at me now
I'm proud to be me
I flip my dreams
To new posibilities
I have always been great
And great I will continue to be
