Greatness Video (MV)

We're destined for greatness
Nobody ever thought we would make it
Watch how far we take it
Pass the stars and spaceships
From a city where the music is sacred
504
You're in the presence of a rebel now
Yea we about to take it to another level now
Bout time everybody got together now
Things are looking better now
We can live forever now

We made it out of the hood this was never suppose to happen
We were only suppose to sell dope or stick to rapping
Wife beaters bearing arms I ain't talking fashion
Stereotype cause I was born with this black skin
I hate racism with a motherpluckin passion
Less hate more love addition by subtraction
Competition lacking
I'm laid back laughing the big man on top like a improper fraction
It's a miracle how we survive way back then
I ain't talking rep when I talk about tec 9 and mac 10
I write rhymes that changes lives with my black pen
Pops said never apologize for your passion
So I'm mashing the gas and I'm dashing to pass the haters the crab the cowards who did me bad we're relaxing now I'm taxing so put your passion
Dee 1 the microphone assassin

We destined for greatness
Nobody ever thought we would make it
Watch how far we take it
Pass the stars and spaceships
From a city where the music is sacred
504
You're in the presence of a rebel now
Yea we about to take it to another level now
Bout time everybody got together now
Things are looking better now
We can live forever now

504 I'm repping that now
Aim at ya Apple so watch me put the Mac down
They ask me how I made it outta that town

Humble shyt I get it popping no other option that I'm coming with
World on my shoulder yea that's the stone cold stunner shyt
Gimme a hell yea if you can see we running it

Banks - the name is going round
Promoters is booking em like they taking em downtown
Somebody not from the city I'm taking em downtown

Worldwide they recognize who we are
When we back at the crib we neighborhood superstars
Soul Rebels and the boy Alfred Banks

Yeah let me talk to em man
Yeah
The school system teaching ill-advised lessons
A new instructor taking over ain't no second guessing
Indenting every paragraph period end of sentence
Ya learning from a legend for my autograph they begging
That heso got jumping better tighten them suspenders
I'm purified water not a carbonated beverage
I go the extra mile Na reward my extra credit
If you ever try to play me best believe you gon regret it
Just say I'm living right keep my ends tight
That's another Daily struggle on a black man plight
Got me On that tunnel vision all I see is the light
This was hard work tryna keep that roll of the dice yea
This ain't a gimmick you get out what you put in
Still on my grind I remember Back when
Embarrassing these haters with a pad and pen
Got that Gil Scott-Heron let that sink in

We destined for greatness
Nobody ever thought we would make it
Watch how far we take it
Pass the stars and spaceships
From a city where the music is sacred
504
You're in the presence of a rebel now
Yea we about to take it to another level now
Bout time everybody got together now
Things are looking better now
We can live forever now
